5 May 2003 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) Sun 21 Sep & Mon 22
Sep—10 rooms for early arrivals Tues 23 Sep thru Thur 25
Sep--75 rooms total (depart 26 Sep) Guests are responsible for
their reservations as specified on attachment #l 2. Thursday 25 Sept - meeting and banquet
with sit-down dinner at $31.00 each (attachment 3). This cost ($31.00)
includes Tip and Tax but does not include the cost of wine which will be underwritten by
the "hospitality" fund (see note 3 herein). Please forward to me by 21 Aug 03 your selection
of entree and with check ($31,00 each) payable to the 465th TCW as per attachinent #4. Hotel

with the hotel in arranging the banquet/dinner and other necessities. 3. The 465th will host a “hospitality"
room from 23 thru 25 Sept. Refreshments and snacks will be provided. If so
inclined please forward a donation to help defray the cost of both the hospitality room and the
