Congratulations. As of 9/15/12 I have received 56 member reunion forms back with 45 guests,
for a total of 101 people attending the 2012 Reunion Oct 3-7,2012 in San Diego, CA
I still have a few people who have not sent me their form that have expressed that they will be there.
If you still need to make your hotel reservations do not delay much longer. As for the forms I need 5 days notice.
We will have a GREAT time so DO NOT MISS IT. Each passing reunion we get older and more forgetfull??
I will post a final list of attendees 9/29/12 before I leave to go out there.
UPDATE 9/8/2012
I added the current SAN Diego Guide 2012. It is in PDF format. Goto the PLAN of the DAY Tab
look on the right side of the page under LINKS. It is large (20 MB) so it might take some time to load. It would be better to download it and read it offline
if you have a slow internet connection.
Also I am posting a list of all the people that have sent me their forms and or have told me that they are attending. It is current as of today 9/8/12. It also is in PDF format

Here is the FORM to fill out and mail back to me (with payment) if you plan on attending the reunion. registration and meals 2012 reunion
I am asking each member to reach out to someone they remember, who is not on our current member roster and inform them about our group.
Mention our reunions and they will be welcome to attend. Mention that we do have a web site now and they can look at it and maybe help them decide.
I am sure I do not have to tell you that some of us are getting older and to maintain this group we must keep our membership growing.
