2012 REUNION WILL BE IN NORFOLK VA.

_________________________________________________

Our 2010 reunion has come and gone. This was the smallest group we have ever had; still a
good time was had by all. Olympia Resort is a very large place, we all got our morning,
afternoon and night exercise by just walking the miles and miles and miles
of hallways from our rooms to the Restaurants and sea stories room. Well at least we did not
have to waste time in the exercise room.
The band and music at the banquet was excellent as were the hotel Staff and Management.
