Hello 3/71 ADA People

It has been a while since we last met two and a half years ago in Branson, MO.  Are you getting ready for our Reunion on 2-6, November, 2010.  You should have your Reunion Itinerary in hand by now and are already making the necessary plans to attend an event that challenges royalty, meeting with old friends and enjoying the riches that can only come from Branson.  If you have for some reason have not received your Itinerary contact Taunya at Branson Ticket and Travel, 1-800-432-4202, and make your reservations at the same time. Being early to Reserve facilities tells the hotel people , "hear we come." For five to six days you  want to be treated like royalty, then Mary and others will join me in Branson.  To make this the Best ever Reunion we have come up with many fresh ideas that will make you think you attended more than one REUNION

                                     See you in Branson
