Labor Day weekend marks 13 years together as a couple. A lot has happened in these 13 years, moving cross country, some family deaths, a few health issues & many good times. Last year on this weekend, we had to put OUR cat - Jazmine to rest. Our loyalty to each other has never been stronger. Looking forward to our future

Gentlemen:

  Diana and I had a great time in San Antonio with everyone this past week and are eagerly looking forward to next year’s reunion.

 

  I’m retired from business and am available to assist in the planning & organization for next year’s event.  I do have a background in the hotel industry.  My contact info is below and currently live just outside of Las Vegas.  I served in Recon Bn from ‘69 to ’70, and left the Marine Corps in 1971. 

  This was just my 5th Recon & 3rd Division re-union. 

  Let me know what I can do to help.

 

  I attended the Division Business Meeting along with a few other Recon Marines on Saturday morning, and while there was some “harsh” dialog regarding Recon & Division, I believe we made some good progress towards unity. 

By a margin of just one vote, it was decided to meet next year in the DC/Quantico area as Charlie had requested.
