Tele Tiger Newsletter for May 24, 2006

This is all Jumbled up and does not have the graphics at the header but here is the latest edition of Tele Tiger, the official newsletter for the 6924th Heritage Association.


Welcome aboard: Dave Anderson (66-67), Doug Schlauch (66-67), Tom Kirker (68 & 73-74), Bill Crane (64-65)
Fallen Tigers:
Reminders: Reunion 2006 in Colorado Springs, Co. Sept. 19 to Sept. 21 at the Sheraton. Call 800-325-9595 and mention the 6924th to make your reservations. The $85 rate is good a couple days before and after the official dates. Also be sure to register with Brigitte and sign up for the events and tours. Forms and details are available on the web site or contact Gil or your sponsor. The time is going fast and is now less than 4 months away. Git ‘er done!
The 6924th will have a float (or sumpthin’) in the Las Vegas Veterans Day Parade on Nov. 11, 2006. Everyone who attended last year thought it was an exhilarating experience. Jump on the truck and go for a ride with your fellow Tigers. If enough guys are going maybe Gill will get a Tiger trailer for the overflow.
Email is the preferred method of contact for the Association so please let Gil know if your email or other contact information changes.
The raffle man, Ruben Villafranca (70-71) is still accepting donations for the 2006 reunion raffle. Donate a prize if you can. Tickets are also for sale and you need not be at the raffle to win (except for booze prizes) so get some tickets at $5 each or 5 for $20 and you will be a winner for helping support the Association and maybe you’ll even win a prize!
You cannot reply to the Tele Tiger email address….well you can I guess, but nobody gets it – it goes nowhere. If you want to make a comment or suggestion send it to all at nonaray1@aol.com or post it on the web site.
6924TH Goes Blogging. Has anyone not visited the 6924th web site at http://www.myfamily.com/ because there is just too much there? Because it is password protected and you wish to remain anonymous? Maybe our new web log (Blog) is more to your liking. No password and we will attempt to put only the most important information out there (like reunions etc.) and you can look at it and move along and nobody will know you were there, or you may leave a comment if you wish. If you have any requests for additional information or any suggestions just let us know. Put this link in as a favorite place on your browser and you can visit often to get the latest http://www.6924ss.blogspot.com/ Let us know if you have suggestions for what to put out there. If anyone knows about this stuff and wants to administer the Blog just let us know. We need all the help we can get!
Saturday Chat: is a live discussion (via keyboard) with other tigers that have no big date for Saturday nights. Join your host Clyde Orr (68-69) at 7 PM Central Time. Every week. Or if you have big dates most nights maybe you’ll get tired and need to take a night off once every so often and when you do……..Get in on the chat.
6924th Heritage Association Web Site at myfamily.com. You have the right to remain silent…But you miss out on lots of great pictures! You can look at pictures of people you may have known. Pictures of the surroundings while you were at the 6924th. You can also look at pictures of things from before you were there and pictures of what things looked like after you were there.
And the Stories! Lots of great stories detailing the 6924th history as told by those who lived it! Some stories are short, some are long. Some are humorous and some are sad. Many are extremely well written containing qualities you would expect only in a good book. Stories about then and now and everything in between.
The fabulous photos and informative writings provide many, many hours of enjoyment and either one is worth price of admission. But admission is free you say? Even better – what a deal! But wait……There’s more!
Occasional jokes and humorous anecdotes, historical information and documents, an opportunity to put your 2 cents worth in if you desire. There is no need to respond and no requirement to do so. Memory joggers galore, Airman to Sgt. to Captain all participating equally, Find out what happened to some of those you served with. Camaraderie and support by a group who have shared some of your experiences, new pictures and stories every week, new found Tigers every week. Maybe your best buddy is there. Wouldn’t you like to recall some memories with some of those you served with?
Information about the first shirt, the commander, the officer of the day and others you served with. Annual reunion and possibilities for other ""mini""reunions regionally or as Tigers travel. Free advice on a variety of topics as needed and requested. Someone on the site probably has experienced the same problem you have and is willing to share a solution and/or encouragement.
Discussions of current events (but not politics or religion), The story of how the 6924th became the Tiger Squadron. So what
are you waiting for? Consider this your written invitation to get onto the 6924th web site. If you need a new password contact Gil and
he’ll fix you up.
