LAST 450th REUNION
At the last reunion many people expressed an interest in one final reunion and picked Washington for the meeting.
Since there has been absolutely no response from any one, it appears that I would be wasting my time trying to set one up.
I have heard rumors that people still are talking about meeting. I have heard of both positive and negative remarks, but nothing official.
Therefore, I am doing nothing about either Washington or Omaha unless I get some feedback.
