Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, and now that the credit card bills are paid, you’ve started thinking about springtime, and the reunion! Well, we are certainly on our way, some early birds have already made reservations at the Shades of Green, and a few people have sent me checks for the BBQ and the Dining In.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, and now that the credit card bills are paid, you’ve started thinking about springtime, and the reunion! Well, we are certainly on our way, some early birds have already made reservations at the Shades of Green, and a few people have sent me checks for the BBQ and the Dining In.
The next major milestone for us is February 24th, that’s when the block of 50 rooms we’ve had set aside go back into the mix for the hotel on a first come first serve basis, but don’t worry, the reunion discount is still in effect, just call reservations with the code and they’ll get you a room, but don’t wait until the last minute, the Shades of Green fills up fast on the weekends so be sure to get your reservation in on time! That said, there is absolutely no law that says you have to stay at the Shades of Green, in fact you can arrange to stay anywhere you like, Shades of Green is simply the venue for the BBQ and the Dining in, but imagine the convenience of not having to worry about driving after having a few recalling the good old days!
In other Reunion related news, I’ve been in touch with a group of people who own Beechcraft Twin Bonanza, painted up to look like an RU-8D during it’s service with the 138th Avn Co during Vietnam. Is that something you’d be interested in seeing flown out from Texas to be on display at the Bunker where the 138th used to drill during the weekend of the reunion?
If so reach out to me directly, we may have to get creative on the fundraising side of the house to make that happen.
Finally in other, other Reunion related news, I had a model of an RU-21A, ship 113, made and painted by hand in the Philippines by Factory Direct Models. It’s a gorgeous model, and everyone who attends the reunion gets $25 dollars knocked off the price of having one made. Just mention the 138th Avn Co Reunion and contact Mike Gibson at mike@factorydirectmodels.com for more info!
The final landmark before the reunion is April 1st, when the final headcount needs to be in for the BBQ and the Dining In, so they know how much food to prepare for us. So when you can, be sure to get those checks to me, just mail them to:

Has anybody noticed the strange coincidence that is when you pay for 2 people to go the the BBQ and the Dining in? I promise that was a fluke!
By the way, the first of the goodie swag is in, and let me tell you they look pretty sharp. Everyone who attends the Reunion will get these gifts among other things we are working on, so I hope you enjoy them! “Stick” around for more information!
If you have any further questions, let me know, you can reach me at arod138@yahoo.com or call me on my cell 610-812-0252.
See you soon!

I also have the same exact model but with tail number 18114. Somebody at the 138th was selling them one year.
ReplyDeleteThose models are beautiful. Reminds me of how poor a model builder I was as a kid. They would be covered with model glue smears...sniff...model glue...
