All,
Reservations have been made for combined HML-167/VMO-2 Friday Dinner at Bucca di Beppo. Time- 6:30 PM (1830). Restaurant is 1/2 block from the hotel.
Cost is $40 per person- includes meal + tax/tip/soft drinks. Cash bar for alcohol will be available. Payment due at the dinner.
Also, Bob Stone is still collecting for "Hootch" support.
The cost for the large room (hooch) will be $300. In order to provide initial and additional operating expenses (ice, chips, soft drinks and beer), we would encourage each squadron member (not your guest) to contribute $25.00 to the Gunship AmmoBox so that we can accomplish the initial stocking for the Mini-Reunion in August. Feel free to send more than $25 if you feel the urge. You can contribute at the hooch, but it would be preferable to stock the hooch before the reunion begins.
VMO-2 and HML-167 squadron reunion attendees can make a check payable to "Bob Stone" (former VMO-2 gunner) and send the check to:

Sgt. Robert (Bob) Parham
To all my friends at Popasmoke and HML-167. It is with regret that I cannot attend this years reunion. My wife of 31 years, Carol, has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be starting chemotherapy next week in preparation for surgery and radiation therapy. We both enjoyed ourselves in Ft. Worth at the last reunion and will miss seeing and talking with everyone in D.C. Please say a prayer for Carol as she starts down this long road back to health.
Semper Fi,
