Fallen Tigers: Desire L. “Des, Dutch” D’Orange (67-68), we also mourn the loss of Jerry Freeman's wife Bessie who passed away this month after a long illness.
Welcome Aboard: David Donn(70-71)
Reunion 2006 is over and it appears that those of us who were unable for whatever reason to make it missed a great time. Almost 100 were in attendance. Here is some feedback from attendees:
Reunion 2006 update from Gil
We collected $3020 BEFORE the reunion, and continued sales here at the reunion. The final total, while it was "fluid" all evening, ended at about $4300. That's approximate because we didn't, or couldn't, document the amounts received at poolside during the pre-raffle hour or so. Any way you look at it, Ruben and Mary Villafranca did a fantastic job with the raffle AGAIN...! It was smooth, quick and very efficient. At 8:30pm we were off to do whatever the evening held for us. GREAT JOB to ALL those folks who helped in the raffle and the setup for the luau just prior to the raffle. All in all it was just maaaavaleous....!!!! I'll also give an update on the Bessie Freeman Memorial that is also going to the Paul Wayne Anthony AFROTC Scholarship Fund. This amount is also "fluid" since contributions were mailed to World HQs that have not been counted and folks continue to donate even this morning. The current total is $4176.....!!!!! That should even top the $5K mark in my humble judgement. If you haven't participated in this tribute to Bessie Freeman, I humbley (sp) ask you to step forward and send a check to World HQs. And a GREAT BIG thanks to everyone who has already participated.

About 30 of us went across the freeway to Carrabas Italian restaurant for dinner. Hap took some pics so I expect they will be ready on site soon. The rest of that crowd had a good time to visit and ate some really good pasta. We tried to stick John Thelen with the bill, but it did not work. Almost out the door headed for the long trek to the hospitality room. Our room is on one side of the hotel and the meeting rooms are on the other. Between is a maze of corridors. Not lost yet, but I carry breadcrumbs to drop along the way. Somebody keeps vacuuming them up behind me. I wonder if that is a message........
Paul Wayne Anthony AFROTC Scholarship: is a fund established by the 6924th Heritage Association in April 2004 and is a major purpose of the association. The fund makes awards each year to deserving Cadets at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte Air Force ROTC program. The Scholarship fund is supported entirely by association membership dues ($12 per year) direct donations, and other association fund- raising activities. The Scholarship program was founded to help preserve the memory of Paul Wayne Anthony, who died April 8, 1970 in a rocket attack on the 6924th Security Squadron communications center at DaNang. Airman Anthony had given up his educational pursuits at UNC-Charlotte to serve our country and is the only 6924SS member listed as KIA. Several Cadets have received awards from this great program that preserves our history while providing needed assistance to young students and future Air Force officers. Generous Tigers have kept the program alive and well and your continued support of the program is appreciated. Donations are always welcome in any amount you can afford. Please help support this wonderful program if you are able. Additional information about the PWA fund including the initial Cadet selection criteria and information about past winners is in the News section of our web site under the category ” PWA AFROTC Scholarship” or “PWA Scholarship fund”. Send your tax-deductible contribution today.
Reunion 2007 will be for 4 days late Sept. or early Oct. 2007 The Reunion Committee has designated the Washington, D.C. area for our next Annual Reunion, to be held in the fall of 2007. Details will be forthcoming, but will include a service at the Vietnam Wall. After reading comments in the surveys (here at the 2006 Reunion), the Reunion Committee felt comfortable to announce the reunion location for next year. The survey included in this edition of the TELE-TIGER is the same survey given out here in Colorado Springs (and eventually mailed to those without Internet access) and is still very much VALID and member comments and input is still solicited. Please send your comments to World HQ and GIL ASAP.

Golden Beaver Awards 2006
The banquet is always the scene of awards and a big Thank you, and this year was no exception. Along with the annual Founder's Award, (given this year to your Editor of the Tele-Tiger), and the heartfelt Tiger Award (given only once before) to Jerry Freeman from Texas for his unselfish and tireless work for the organization was a resurrection of yet another award. The 6924th Heritage Association was proud to recognize those many Tigers and their Ladies for countless hours of service to the organization with a GOLDEN BEAVER AWARD.
The official ceremony began amid the "buzz" from the crowd wondering why is VP Ralph Jones having these folks "Fall In" at the back of the room? After a false start or two and some mild confusion by our FTA President, recipients were presented replicas of the USAFSS Beaver Awards of old. Each received his or her beautiful certificate and did the "Grip and Grin" shaking hands and posing for a picture with Order of the Beaver Commander, J. R. Stafford.
We know that all recipients will wear their awards proudly....

I have the distinct honor and privilege to announce the 2006 Founder's Award recipient. AL RAYMONDI, the editor of the Tele Tiger is this year's recipient. But also mentioned in the citation is the work done by Diane Raymondi in support of Al's work. Here's the citation read at the banquet on 22 Sept 06.The Sixth Annual Founder's Award once again goes to an outstanding Tiger who continually works to improve the communications among the membership.There are three primary means of communication between our Tiger buddies. The first method was the website and associated email. The founder was presented with the first Founder's Award. The secfond method of communication was the Sponsorship Program and the founder of that program was also the recipient of the Founder's Award. The third method of communication between our Tigers is through the Tele Tiger newsletter.In November 2003 the idea of a newsletter was floating around but the "means" to get it done without being a great expense was the problem. It was at that time that AL RAYMONDI stepped forward and suggested we use the website to distribute the Tele Tiger to everyone online and let the sponsors take care of those offline. After a couple of trial and error transmissions, Al transmitted the first official "rebirth" of the Tele Tiger in November 2003.Al opened the first Tele Tiger with this statement:"Up from the ashes and from thirty years of silence TELE TIGER speaks again! This is the FIRST EDITION of our quarterly newsletter. This is a low budget operation which has as the single purpose to inform those who have served in the 6924SS."After only several quarters it became apparent that we needed to change the Tele Tiger. At that time the Tele Tiger became a monthly newsletter. In his infinite wisdom, Al decided that the date of publication should be on the "24th" of each month. Since that time everyone with a valid email address on the website receives an email on the 24th with the Tele Tiger attached. That date is also the cue for all the sponsors to print the Tele Tiger and mail it to all the Tigers they sponsor.Al Raymondi stepped forward and took this project by the horns from the first mention of a newsletter. he continually extracts information from the website for inclusion in the next edition and seeks out other information that may be of interest and help to our Tiger brothers. This baby is HIS and he runs with it and only occasionally yells for "input" from us.But we can't recognize Al Raymondi and not mention that all that "data entry" work on the Tele Tiger seems to be done by DIANE RAYMONDI. So we have another TEAM working together for the betterment of our community of Tigers and making communications better for all.The founder of the TELE TIGER newsletter is the 2006 Founder's Award recipient. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
