REUNION 1998
What a great time was had by all! The weather was gorgeous! And, hey, no blackflies or mosquitoes either!
| On Friday night at Pilots Grill twenty-nine came to reminisce and have dinner together. Some of these people were unable to attend the Saturday reunion because of other functions or reunions on | Saturday, so this became an excellent opportunity not to miss out on seeing old friends. We had 65 signed up for the barbecue and others dropped by to visit: |
| Marcia & son Steven Fieger | Frank & Marge Ball | M.H. & Diana Pridgen |
| Pauline Sodermark & Greg Hildreth | Mike & Ann Caruso | Mr & Mrs Siefred Schultz |
| Burke & Barbara Soileau | Ronald &Marie Fowle | Woody and Cecelia Breedlove |
| Bob and Nancy Phillips | Ed Class | Bob & Lois Russell |
| Ed & Judy Gilmore | Bill & Carolyn Amos | George C. Marvin |
| Richard & Karen Sawyer | Jack & Chris Barnes | Joe & Jean Mitchell |
| John & Jackie Clements | Jack & Nancy Reynolds | Norman & Joan Foss |
| Alan & Rosalie Quinn | Robbie & Irma Robertson | William & Mary Larrabee |
| Timothy & Julie Anderson | Mr & Mrs William Bythrow | Chuck & Helen Thompson |
| Mr & Mrs Steven Smith | Roland Holt | Ted & becky Robinson |
| Roy Osato | Joe Mizda | Peg McKinney |
| Richard Kullis | Linus & Helen Stitham | Wib & Ann Cole |
| Stan Murray | Fred & Lois Bowers |
| A few of those listed were unable to attend at the last minute but the intentions were there. The one travelling the longest distance without equal was Roy Osato of Honolulu, Hawaii. Roy was pleased to be at the reunion and said that if he had not enjoyed the area and the people during his time at Charleston, he would not have returned to be at the reunion that day. Richard Kulis of Greenfield Mass, flew his own plane to Bangor for the sole purpose of attending the reunion! | Richard said it was an absolutely perfect flying day. After we had socialized for a couple hours and gotten reacquainted with old friends, we ate our fill at the buffet and then settled back to listen to some of the goings on back on Charleston Hill. You can bet there were plenty of stories about "life on the Hill"and surrounding communities. Some of the stories may have been about YOU! |
NEXT REUNION Next time -- YEAR 2000 -- YOU will have to be there to
defend yourself and see that others know the story of
what "really" happened. We've got the
last few years reunions on video, so the records are
set. |
This reunion is NOT MILITARY. Not one person saluted or wore their uniform. The military organization was the vehicle that brought you guys and gals together in the first place , but the brotherhood; friendship; caring; sharing of joys, sorrows and laughs; and yes, some would agree, the growing up together in the mixed background of that extended family; these things are wayou together, even now some 40+/- years later. The "military experience" was temporary; the friendships you found are lifelong. REUNION YEAR 2000 -- BE THERE |
