REUNION 2009 - SEATTLE! September 9-13 We gathered in Seattle for our 2009 Reunion - and it sure was fun!! Our thanks to Jackie, Connie, Cyndee, Julia, Dave, Andrea, Barb, Doug, Dale, Elaine and Mike and everyone who helped to make this reunion such a success and very special. They spent many months planning a terrific schedule of events for us. This reunion, dedicated to World War II veteran 39th member Norm Sombs, began Wednesday with check-in and renewing old acquaintances and meeting new ones in the Hospitality Room - the place to be all weekend! With plenty of food and beverages each morning and evening, we really did get to spend many hours with friends, just having a great time! Thursday we boarded the Argosy Ferryboat to Blake Island and Tillicum Village for a Native American Cultural Dance presentation, and we enjoyed the best plank-cooked salmon dinner. And the view of Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier from Puget Sound was spectacular! On Friday, we toured the Boeing Factory to see the production of the 787, 777 and 747. Saturday we visited the Museum of Flight, where in addition to viewing the wonderful planes, we were also treated to a C-130 Tactical Airlift Panel with four of our members discussing their experience with the C-130 in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. Our banquet was held Saturday evening, and our guest speakers included retired Major General Paul Fletcher and the current 39th squadron commander Lt. Col. Charles Howard. We met for our business meeting on Sunday morning, and said our good-byes until next time. We had a great turnout, and thank you to everyone who attended.
Information on our 2010 reunion to be held in San Antonio in early October is available above. Please mark your calendars to be there! It will be fun!
