  Just a word to all VA85 members - JD Phipps needs to sell more of his coffee mugs. He has about 20 left which equates to about $320 out of his own pocket. I'm going to purchase another one. JD did this out of his own good heart for VA85'ers. If you don't have one, think about getting one and help him out. If you wern't at the reunion and didn't get to see them, they are really nice mugs.

  Bob you are to be congratulated for the bang up job you did setting up the reunion and also for intorducing me to some other SPAD GUYS even though there were no guys from my era I really had a lot of fun with the group that was there.  It's a memory that will last for a long time.  If you or someone else descides to have another reunion please COUNT ME IN thanks to ALL for the memories. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE TO EVERY ONE.

  Thanks to everyone who helped me with the Reunion!! A great success to say the least. We had 81 members show up and 139 members and guests at the dinner at Capt. Georges. Looking forward to another one, and hope we can get more there.

  I'm looking forward to another reunion already.  It was a blast. Thanks again Bob for all of your effort you've contributed into this monumental event. Lets all stay in touch and make an effort to meet more often.  We're not getting younger.

  Had a great time at the reunion! What a great job by RC for putting this together, and for those who helped out! Wish we had more from my years('78-'82), but really enjoyed listening to all the stories from the 60's crowd. Will hold great memories!

  A big salute to RC for putting in all the hours to make the reunion a success. The weather was a bummer, but we can't have it all, I guess. It was great to see the old shipmates. Sad that there weren't more present.
