Well looks like we are ON again for the combined 36th/540th Combat Engineer's Reunion in Lebanon, PA, September 2011.

We were looking for new facilities, but due to cost, it looks as though we shall remain at the Quality Inn.

I believe the following information to be accurate. Note: There may be some minor changes in cost.

The Colony Room (our hospitality suite) is available to us for all four days. Snacks will be provided, along with beer and wine.

We usually plan a nice dinner out at a local restaurant on Friday night. If you are interested, let John or I know ahead of time so we can include you in the reservations. If not, the Colony Room will be open for your use.

There will be a banquet Saturday evening. This is a semi-formal affair.

DVD presentations by YOURS TRULY will be shown throughout the weekend.

Bring your photos, books, documents, etc. We have a LOT of fun reminiscing!

Okay, I am expecting some new folks to show up this year. If at all possible, plan ahead and make sure you attend this year. Without sounding morbid, time is running out.

Don't let this be a regret. Trust me, you will never forget this experience and will be so happy you made it.

Grrr! Why Lebanon?! Can't this be done in Tallahassee or someplace else within a 15 hour drive from Albany, GA!

Well if you start walking now...

Hey now, I EXPECT you to be there this year. The only excuse I will take is if you are overseas.

Now if you want, I can talk to your commanding officer...

It just occurred to me, I should be going to the Advanced Communications Officer Course in Quantico, VA from 15 August through 28 October. That's only 3 h 45 m away from Lebanon!!

Now we're talkin' turkey!!!

Already making plans Marion. I hope you all can put up with me if it all works out ok this year for me again.I'm combining my two weeks vacation with the reunion this time and plan to visit some friends in Rhode Island after.

Can you afford the $40 till I arrive? lol

Colin.

Sure can. I will pay for you, Kai-Ann and myself. This year if God is willing, you will get to meet my daughter. She is a real treasure.

Thank you Marion. Looking forward to meeting everyone again and the new people including of course Kai-Ann and four very good days.

Colin.

Hurray for me! I am now set to go with the Advanced Communications Officer Course (ACOC) in Quantico! The good news is, I will be able to attend the reunion during at least the weekend!!
