I'm either preaching to the converted or talking out of turn! With the current situation regarding WW2 veterans, is there no possibility for an "overall" Engineers Reunion in the future? I know John would not be pleased but once again we need to look to years to come if we intend to carry on meeting each year. To put it bluntly the phrase is "economics of scale".
Colin. 39th Engineers - Sept 2016 - Walt's Daughter - 07-21-2016 I couldn't agree more with your assessment. That was always my goal from the start. Yes, John is being stubborn and it's a shame, for he is actually turning people away and that breaks my heart. It's a tough call right now, for I want to respect his feelings, but at the same time, the exclusion of people other than the "old gang", is only hurting our goals of keeping it going and expanding our horizons.
I wanted to add a few "kids" to the roster this year, who wanted to represent their fathers, but John told me flat out, no! The thing is, I shouldn't have said anything at all, and just let those few show up. Ya, I'm a bit miffed and torn at the same time. 39th Engineers - Sept 2016 - Walt's Daughter - 07-21-2016 Oh please let me note, this conversation is not directed at the 39th. Colin and I are just talking about the 36th and having them join in with other dwindling groups in other to get the reunions going. 39th Engineers - Sept 2016 - Walt's Daughter - 08-17-2016 Note from Gail:
