Let Us Know How We Can Help

As we mature and our bodies no longer rebound as they did in 1959. The question arises for those of you who would attend our August reunion but transportation to and from the airport is a draw back, how can we help co-ordinate flights and arrange transportation to and from the airport.

WE WILL NOT PERMIT LACK OF AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION PREVENTING ANYONE FROM ATTENDING!!!
