Association Profile ~
The 6th
Weather Squadron (Mobile) Alumni association was a dream of John Lassiter and
Tom Rivers along with some other 6th Weather veterans. They dreamed about
getting many others to share some memories. John and Tom pooled names,
addresses, and energies. Though they were new to the task, they spent two to
three years building a membership base by writing to members asking for
additional names and addresses. Finally it was time to get their feet wet, to
draft by-laws, find affordable lodging, meals and actually schedule the first
reunion. It was held on August 2 thru 4, 1985 at the Continental Motel in
Oklahoma City. The banquet and dance was held at a VFW facility in Midwest city
with no working air conditioner. It was quite an occasion, attended by a great
number of alumni from coast to coast, many old friendships were renewed and many
new friendships were born. We sincerely thank those who made the impossible
dream possible. The last reunion was held in 2016.
Today, the
association's primary members number about 151 including 51 honorary
members with the center hub of activity in the Oklahoma City area, home to
Tinker AFB where 6th Weather Squadron made its home between 1952 and 1985.
