image AFNOA MOVES THE REUNION LOCATION ABOUT, SO WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE NAVS HERE AND THERE TO GET TO THE REUNION. THIS ONE IS AT W-P AFB, FAIRBORN, OHIO, AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE USAF THE "AIR MUSEUM." Entry is free. This is an easy drive for those Navs in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Illinois.

Reunion info: POC is Col. Suazo Sostenes, USAF Ret Nav <ssuazo61@aol.com> and/or me, <ronaldpbarrett@yahoo.com>

The host hotel is the Fairborn Holiday Inn call: 937-426-7800. This is right next to area B and almost within eye sight of the Museum. AFNOA rate is $96 a night. Parking is free. There will be a schuttle bus.

The JULY Issue of DR AHEAD, pages 6-7-8-9 has all the details. The Reunion fee at the sign up & registration is $150 (may get a reduction here; we are working on it). The big cost driver here is the $1,200 fee we have to pay to have our dinner the evening of the 16th under the nose of the planes in the museum. So the more that come the better off we all will be. I hope it is not just me there,,, $1,200 for a dinner my wife will not like no matter how good the stake!

If you want to see if there is a Nav in your state that you can drive with get a hold of Richard Mansfield our Membership VP as he keeps the data base all up to date and can locate names via state. E-mail <rhmans2542@cfl.rr.com>

Please consider coming. It is always great to catch up with our comrades. IMPORTANT: The business meeting will be Friday, Oct 16, at 9AM in the morning. Be there and have a say on what you want out of AFNOA.

DR'n away, Ron Barrett, AFNOA Historian
