Updated Reunion Agenda
P8a visit
I have been informed that VP30 cannot fly a P8a out to San Diego for our reunion.
The budgetvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttributevar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} ('href');} is to tight and it is end of the year for the Feds.
Maybe for the next reunion. Hopefully VP40 will have the birds by then and can accommodate us.
Bob Richter
Bob Richter called me tonight and he will attend the reunion . He will join our group.
He was an ADR3 in VP40 from 1961-1965var link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} . He was in Crew 9. He retired from the Navy as a Chief.
He is looking forward to seevar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} ing us and vice versa
Reunion Update
We will have the Samahan Dance Group perform various Philippine dances aftervar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} our dinner Friday night.
They will wear the costumes appropriate for the dance.
Come andvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} enjoy.
I am still awaiting word if VP30 will be able to fly a P8A over to North Island for our reunion.
Hope they can make it.
P3 merchandise
We now have VP40 P3V/C merchandise.
We have coffee cups, T-shirts and Ball Caps with the P3 logo on them.
They will be available at the reunion and after that on our web site.
In addition at the reunion we will have the VP40 P5m coffee cups, T-shirts, and Ball Caps
We have some additional goodies for sale there also.
bring your checkbooks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been able to purchase some things that will be on display only. They are 1 of a kind
and they are not for sale. I also have added some hanging pictures for display.
It is still not to late to register with me and the hotel, so get off the fence and join the fun.
I cannot tell you the people I have been in contact with that CANNOT attend the reunion due to health problems,
and wish they could attend or have had to cancel due to medical problems. So if this is NOT yourvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} excuse GETvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} ER DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait no more, I for one am not getting any younger and if you are please share your secret with us…
see you all there
getting close now !!!!!!!!!!!!hooray hooray
Reunion Parkng
I have had a few questions about parking fees at the hotel during our reunion.
Our contract specifies PARKING FEES ARE WAIVED.
Sovar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} do not pay for parking at the hotel.
Remember the hotel also provides an Airport Shuttle free of charge.

My RANT for the day
Just a gentle reminder that according to my records,
we have LOST 14 VP40 members from death since our last reunion in 2014.
We also have added 16 New members to our group.
I have empirically derived (how do you like that statement ??)
that at that rate, our group will start rapidly reducing, unless 1 of 2 things take place.(or both)
1. Someone invents a MAGIC PILL that will let us live longer and better.
2. WE ALL need to beat the bushes and increase our membership.
WE changed our bylaws to now include ALL VP40 personnel, past and present.
Lets getvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} the word out there folks.
WE have to muchvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} fun at our reunions to have them go away.
See you all at the reunion and lets discuss ways to make this happen.

P8A
I am in communication with VP30 and perhaps they
will be able to fly a P8A rom JAX on a FAM to North Island during our reunion.
We will be able to tour it (inside and out).
They did this for us in Pensacola for our last reunion, but I know a lot of you on the West Coast have not seevar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} n one of them, so
I hopevar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} they can accommodate my request. I will keep you posted on the progress.
CDR Harry Hindon
I talked to Harryvar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} Hinton's wife today and she informed me that Harry passed away on 2/25/2016.
He passed at homevar link = document.getElementById('link2736');link.onclick = function(){document.location = link.getAttribute('href');} and peacefully. He had been ill for some time, I talked to him just before our last reunion
in 2014 and he was bedridden at that time. He wished us a great reunion.
CDR Hindon was a former skipper of VP40
