366th MMS Reunion, Denver,
Sept. 16 - 18th, 2005
Reunion T-Shirt
Beginning with preliminary talks via the
land line, Bruce Taylor mentioned that he wanted to come out west
to Denver. As we both chewed on this idea, we
hatched a plan and posted it to see if
any Bros & Sis's were interested in a mini reunion for the 366th
Ammo folks. Gordy posted it on both sites
around
mid July.
We got some hits and realized that this
was a GOOD idea. After that, I started making some plans
for food, meeting place, lodging, and other
related stuff.
Lowry shut down in the early '90's, but
has still retained some of the signature bldgs. and hangers.
As luck would have it, hanger # 1 has been
retained as a museum called WINGS OVER THE ROCKIES.
The administrators of the museum graciously
sponsored
our effort with a cost free meeting room
and freedom to come and go throughout the hanger to chat and
view the static displays. And the things
to see there
are great now, even after so few years in
operation.
The reception that we received was nothing
short of
1st Class.
We had a preliminary get-together on Fri
night 16 Sept., 05 @ 1830 Hrs. We closed that place down!
The fellowship was instant. On Sat, the
17th, we met @ Wings to view the static displays, and a collection
of military vehicles from the past. Our box lunches were delivered
on absolute time. So we ate, and had a slide show courtesy of
Dennis. I then broke out the
t-shirts I had made to commemorate the
re-u, as well as some pics. pertaining to Danang. We broke @ 1345
hrs to view a flyby I arranged from the CO ANG from Buckley AFB
as a salute to recognize our efforts in the Nam.
After that, we broke for dinner @ a local
restaurant
for a delightful couple of hours of food,
drink, acquaintances, stories, and other fellowship. It was a great
ride. Perhaps we CAN DO something like this somewhere else in the
coming years.
This is/ was the 1st Official advertised
366th MMS
re-union to be enjoined. Attendees were:
Ed Burchard, Bruce Taylor, Bruce Hill,
Dennis Knudsen, Randy Colby, and Phil Morneault, and spouses of
some of us. It was a genuine great time,
for upon the 1st meeting, we picked-up the
baton as
though we had all known ea other all
these yrs.
We re-affirmed the Brotherhood that we all
knew was there. The F-16 flyby was a sort of crowning, or
topping. IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed
