Reunion just keeps getting better all the time...
The 36th Brigade has just changed command and Colonel Dave Hill will take over from Col Kent Savre. Colonel Hill has scheduled a visit with all of us and will attend Friday and Saturday. How wonderful. So if all goes well, both Col Savre and Hill will attend.
I'm very much looking forward to it!
Even more news this morning.
Craig Singhaus was the one who arranged to have some re-enactors at last year's reunion. Unfortunately due to his scheduling, he wasn't able to attend himself. However this year, he will be able to join us and not only is he going to be there, but he is looking into arranging a parade through the streets of Lebanon with an array of jeeps, etc.
I talked to Captain John Fallon about this and his enthusiastic response was, "Let's let it all hang out!"

The tentative plan is to have the parade begin at the hotel Saturday morning at approximately 10. He is going to call the Chamber of Commerce and possibly a local boy scout troop and alert a local newspaper, so we can have people lined up with flags to see the parade of vets and their families.
I told him there was a veteran's park just a block away, and we thought it would be nice to have the vehicles debark there and have a brief ceremony. Sounds great to me.
As you can imagine, I am very, very excited about the prospects! Thanks Craig!!! 
I agree! Kind of the frosting on the cake!
Ma'am,

I am almost through uploading approximately 275 images from the reunion. It's taken a long time for I had to run through all the photos and deleted ones which were fuzzy, etc. Then I go through and re-size, change orientation, crop & tweak almost every photo and then re-name each one. So you can see why it takes so long.
Should have them done this evening. Will place link here....
Thanks for your patience!!!
