30 Years in the making. The 2015 6WSAA Reunion took place at Wyndham Garden Hotel on June 10 - 14, 2015. The camaraderie, the memories, the people, the facilities, the banquet and food were all outstanding and everyone departed on Sunday with a good feeling for our association and get-together.

Early bird arrival on Wednesday allowed members to greet one another and start the sharing of stories of the old days in 6th Weather Squadron which lasted up till the banquet Saturday night. A few people who had made reservations to attend the reunion had to cancel at the last minute because of health problems and weather related road conditions. As we age I think we can all understand these implications and to those who whished they could attend but just could not, we are sorry they could not make it and hope they might be able to attend next year's reunion in 2016. Yes I said 2016, not two years from now in 2017, stay tuned for more info.

Some of us took in a baseball game Thursday night at the Bricktown Ballpark to watch the OKC Dodgers play the Nashville Sounds. It was a perfect weather night and we had fun at the game. Others did their own thing in and around Oklahoma City.

Saturday's agenda included the General Membership Meeting in the morning and the reunion's main event, the evening Reunion Banquet where a delicious hot buffet dinner was served followed by drawings for the cross stitch 6th Weather emblem won by Buck Bucklin and created by Shirley Eldringhoff.

Some members had early Sunday morning flights to return home and others had breakfast together before hitting the road home. The reunion was a success and a big Thanks to all those who made it possible.
