The 6th Weather Squadron Alumni Association's 15th Reunion took place in Oklahoma City. OK once again, home of Tinker AFB which was the home of the 6th Weather Squadron (Mobile). The Wyndham Garden Hotel  hosted our Reunion in its renovated hotel. The Hospitality Room in the center of the atrium served as the meeting place for the many dedicated members who attended the 2013 reunion.

Fred LaPerriere of Colorado returned with the renovated WWII era  SCM-1 Mobile Weather Van. A number of items were added to the weather equipment memorabilia on display in the van in front of the hotel . It is a great collection of old weather instruments that were once utilized by weather observers and forecasters. The van was restored to original specs  and looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

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.. The schedule was pretty much like previous years with Thursday's Tinker AFB tour, the BX and restaurants, the South-40 area and the Friday visit and tour of the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman. Members also visited local sites on their own such as The Oklahoma City

The  General Membership Meeting was conducted Saturday morning and the evening consisted of the Reunion Banquet with a delicious hot buffet dinner and  followed by award  presentations  made by our Chairman Chuck Miller. There were also appreciation awards from the general membership to members of the Board of Directors for all their service in planning and conducting the reunions over the years.

Sunday morning , groups gathered together for breakfast before departing for different points of the compass and saying their goodbyes until the reunion in 2015. Thank you Chuck Miller and the reunion committee for your dedication and job well done. See you all at the next reunion in 2015.
