Greetings to All MEMBERS and ASSOCIATES of the 465th TCW

 

It was 50 years ago that the 465th deployed to France/Germany. It was also the start of many new

experiences and friendships. Fittingly, we will now undertake a "get together" which will reunite

both those who crossed the Atlantic in 1953 and those who later joined the 465th As such, this

invitation to a reunion is extended to Wing & Gp HQ, Maint, Supply, Security, 780, 781, 782

sqdns etc., and to all our friendly rivals and associates from other units. A special effort is

underway to locate and invite all those of us who have not attended a previous reunion and who

are seemingly late for roll call. I do not know where to send this notification/invitation to many

of our buddies, Please assist in locating and inviting them.

            

The 465 has signed a contract with the Gold Coast Casino, Las Vegas,(attachment 2) to include:

1.  Rooms-$36.00 per night plus tax (attachment 1)

as per attachinent #4. Hotel room payments must be made directly to the hotel. I will
