This was posted by Clyde Orr August 19, 2008 Hey Tigers, where are all of you guys that said you would be attending the reunion in Tucson when a poll was taken earlier this year? It puts a strain on the organizers who are working hard trying to put the events together when they don't have a reliable number of attendees to work with. We have less than two months to go. How about sending in those registration forms, and making those room reservations. If anyone has a problem downloading the registration form please let me know and I will send you one. Our president is watching his mailbox every day to see those forms.
Reunion 2009 is being planned for Minneapolis Mn..
Reunion 2010 is being planned for Nashville Tn.
