The reunion in Jackson TN, November 5th and 6th was a very nice affair,
The host and hostess,
Ken and Ruth Stevens were very thoughtful and gracious,
the facilities were fine, the food delicious and the fellowship was great.
Once more I want to thank Ken and Ruth for the fine job that they did. Our
total attendance was 42 folks. We had nineteen 275th veterans attending and
with wives, widows of veterans and children attending, made up the grand
total.

We had a hospitality room that everyone could gather in and exchange conversation and make pictures etc. No planned program was presented, just good fellowship and we presented our long time chairman, Bob Schnulle with a birthday card and sang Happy Birthday in advance to him. He informed us that he would be eighty on November 30th. Dan Stewart sat up his laptop computer and showed the web site to the ones who wanted to see it.
