Ken, I believe I already wrote you thanking you for all the effort you and your associates put into the reunion. In any event, if I only thought about writing you and neglected actually to do so, let me send you this formal thank you for everything you did. I enjoyed meeting you and it was very nice to meet some old friends after so many years of being apart.---Dr (and Lt.) ---Rodney Rogers

Ken & Committee: Bravo Zulu on another successful reunion. Your untiring perserverance paid off for another enlightening get-together of commoradity. I know that it is a thankless & frustrating job, but your devotion to making it happen is really appreciated .... e.g. Pete's certificate of appreciation. Time spent with Newby relating his ejection from his a/c blown over the side while approaching #4 cat was priceless.---Adam Miklovis
