A Request for Pictures, Sounds, and Video
Terri Beckham, niece of Tommy Sandefur, has volunteered to produce another video to be presented at the Reunion banquet. After that, it will appear here on the 191st Website. Terri is requesting photographs, sounds, and video shot by unit members to use in that effort. We are also trying to collect pictures of all those lost Brothers listed on the Honor Page. If you can email pictures, send them to traebeck@comcast.net or email them to me, bj@191ahc.org. If you wish to send slides or photos, send them to Bill Janes, PMB 213, 2736-B Towne Centre Drive, Mesquite, TX 75150. We can scan slides or photos and they will be returned to the contributor.
Let everyone know that its definitely going to be on Labor day weekend of 2006. For those who are flying in they will be able to fly in to the Springfield, Missouri airport. To check out what airlines service that area go to
http://www.sgf-branson-airport.com/ then they can rent a car for the drive to Branson. I will update you more after the 20th of Aug. I hope to have everything sewed up by then.
Reunion News from John and Fran Davis - 1/31/06:

===========
The 191st AHC will hold their annual reunion at the Lodge of the Ozarks, 3431 W Hwy 76, Branson, Missouri. Ozarks’ Kirkwood, our Reunion planner, will book 100 sleeping rooms at the Lodge for arrival on September 1, 2006 for three nights. If any rooms remain unreserved on August 11, 2006 (3 weeks prior to the event) the room block will be lifted. The Reunion will incur no liability for the unused rooms. If additional rooms are needed after the cut off date, they will be provided on a space and rate available basis.
Additional pricing is available for those wishing to arrive early (prior to September 1) or stay late (after September 3). The room rate is $75.00 per room, per night plus tax ($83.61 per night). The only way to guarantee this rate is to contact Ozarks’ Kirkwood for reservations.

Reservations: Each member of the Reunion Group will be required to contact Ozarks’ Kirkwood Tour and Travel to arrange reservations. Please note that those individuals calling the Lodge of the Ozarks directly will not receive any information on your reservations as it is being held as a group block until arrival. Upon receipt of a reservation request, each reunion member will be sent a registration letter for confirmation.
Payment/Deposits: A deposit of $50.00 per person is requested when the reservation is made. Final payment is required no later than August 11, 2006. All payments must be in the form of a check (please provide drivers license number, date of birth and social security number), Visa, MasterCard or American Express.
Webmaster Note: I have received an email from a unit member that raises concerns regarding providing SSN's on checks. Fran Davis is discussing this with Ozark Kirkwood. Meanwhile, if you are concerned about providing that information, and about identity theft, the obvious solution is to make payment via a money order or cashier's check, or make payment via a credit card.

"Country" Fleming is putting together a life size crewmember display that he plans to bring to Branson. Problem is, that this guy needs a name, so a contest is in order to name him. So put your thinking caps on and bring your entry to the reunion. Whoever submits the winning name will long be remembered and admired by his fellow unit members, and will receive a bottle of ba muoi ba (bom de bom) as well. If you were looking for a reason to come to the reunion, this should settle it.... See ya in Branson!

25 August 06 -- Driving Tips from JD and Fran Davis
WARNING
A word to the wise, Missouri has had a rash of highway workers injured and
killed recently so they are cracking down on speeders in posted work sites,
especially on Interstate highways. Please stay within the posted speed limits
unless you have large amounts of money you wish to donate to the state of
Missouri. Illinois is also cracking down and will happily not only fine you but
take your license and in some cases give you a place to stay, free of charge for
a period of time.
ALL KIDDING ASIDE> Missouri and Illinois are really getting serious in
work zones. Be aware of the speed limit regardless of whether workers are there
or not.
Anyone that is flying into the Springfield airport and renting a car Thursday mid-afternoon that will have room for one more please contact JDsFran@aol.com before Tuesday night or call Fran at 618-540-8999 or JD at 618-540-8393. We have a member that needs a ride to Branson.
30 August
Cell Phone contact numbers for JD and Fran in Branson. Leave a message if there is no answer.
