Looking forward to see everyone there.
Glad to hear your going to make it Terry. Bev and Glenn are going to spend a couple of days with us after the reunion and possibly Scott and Darlene. Glenn said they would stay from when the reunion is over and then fly back from Anchorage on the Sunday after. We have room for you and would love to have you come down also. Some cold brews around a campfire and maybe a fresh salmon on the grill.
My wife (Mary Lou) and I will be attending again this year. We are looking forward to seeing all of you again this year.
Do you have the hotel information?
