I am choosing Orlando for same reasons I chose Las Vegas for 2007 reunion - abundance of hotel rooms, economical and easy airline fights from most other parts of country, and good weather. I have some ideas for speakers and activities. Marsha will lead another excursion to local shopping mall for the "In Front of the Mall" JSA ladies. Soju will be available in the hospitality room!

I served 1980-81 with 2nd plt. Maddogs. I went to Korea a private and left a SP4. Also attended PNCOC CA at Story Barracks. I highly enjoyed the duty and going down range was something else! When the JSA got 4 plts. in 81 I went to the 4th plt. Forgot the PSG name but my sqd ldr was Sgt Savusa. Keywords:

Truly one of the best group of officers I served with in the Army. Some of those times spent at the Monastery were unbelievably fun. Would love to hear from any of you and catch up. signed, Brother Clean Keywords: Monk-in Ceromonies, "Ride the Snake", Music Monk
