DTW/SOAP 7th Annual Reunion 6/22 and 6/23 2011

The first night, we had an informal dinner at a local Irish pub, then returned to the hotel to imbibe and compare stories of our illustrious careers. Our formal (no dress code) dinner was held at a beautiful restaurant and supplemented with individual photographs taken (gratis) by a professional photographer, including an entire group photo. After a fantastic meal, we again returned to our hotel to continue with our storytelling.

We are all looking forward to another enjoyable reunion next year. We welcome all DTW area personnel to join us next year. For further information contact Jim Holtsclaw, 248-305-5967, jholtsclaw@earthlink.net, or Bob Ervin, (248) 538-8336, rervin@comcast.net

Comments from a couple of attendees:

Got home (ABQ) at high noon. 100F with 3% humidity.Quite a change from Brighton.
You guys put on a fantastic reunion. That is the way they all should be. A bunch of old guys getting together to eat dead cow , drink refreshing beverages, and tell truth. All joking aside, you put on a fine reunion and I feel honored that I was invited.

Thanks, Don Moore

On the gauges most of the way home,with heavy rain and fog. Thanks for your hospitality but sorry we missed the dinner. It was an enjoyable,
yet abbreviated visit and we look forward to future events. We both know,thru past experience, when we're with traffic control types , were among friends.

Aloha...........Don and Ginny Muncy
