---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11-01-2014 | Al Soboleski | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | As far as I am concerned Boston has no connection to our time in TAC missiles. |
11-01-2014 | Albert Mac Elrath | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando would be cheaper in August (Snow birds do not go there in summer) Denver also good choice maybe October |
11-02-2014 | Allan Coon | Unsure | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-02-2014 | allan lindblom | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Allan Morley | No | No | No | No | Yes | I Have not renewed My Member Ship Yet Will do in Jan-2015 Also when I do Please send me the Code so I can use it for Membership. And Not as a guest My New Address is 2010 APT 2 Kern ave, Rice Lake Wis. 54868 |
11-01-2014 | Allen Doeringer | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando has my vote, of course it does, I live there. |
11-22-2014 | Andy hernandez | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | Arnold Hansen | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Art Donahue | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I have no desire to return to Boston, unless it happens to be on the way to the cape. Plus, I winter in Florida now two short hours from Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Art Gust | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | billie carpenter | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-18-2014 | Bob Brewster | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Bob Wildrick | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | There is a lot to see around the Denver area. Wings over the Rockies air museum is on what used to be Lowery AFB. Of course there is the AF academy, Peterson AFB, and possibly Cheyenne Mtn. if they will let us in. |
11-01-2014 | Bolton, R | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | ill go where ever it is held, but think another venue would be a better choice than Boston. |
11-10-2014 | brashear, michael | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Bruce Johnson | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Some of the Orlando Area Hotels offer really good reunion rates for Military Reunions. Also, there is always Shades of Green at Disney which is a military hotel. They also have an office which helps reunions which want to stay at other Disney Area Hotels, negotiate very good rates. |
11-09-2014 | cal collier | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-11-2014 | cal collier | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Carl L Corbin | No | No | No | Yes | No | It seems to me that these details should have been obtained at an earlier date. I was not planning on going to Boston because of the high cost of lodging, parking, food, and cost of transportation. If you decide to go to Denver I would attend the reunion |
11-01-2014 | Chuck Scheerschmidt | No | No | No | Yes | No | Can't make it to the east coast with all that we have on our plate here. Would make it to Denver up through October of next year or San Antonio during the winter months. |
11-03-2014 | Clark Wormer | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Because of the cost, I think the reunion would have a better turnout if moved to Denver or Orlando. |
11-05-2014 | Clay Boyce | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Cliff Kunkel | No | No | No | No | No | Although I will not attend I still feel that cost and location is very important. I think the reunion should more in the center of the country for everyones convenience. Some of us have difficulties traveling. |
11-02-2014 | Cornelius E. Wood | Unsure | Yes | No | No | No | Why not Boston Area away from the Airport. The most expensive lodging is always at the Airport or downtown. The area has several suburb locations that might prove to be more reasonable. Just a thought. Have Fun! Neil |
11-02-2014 | curtis mckee | No | No | No | No | Yes | I wouldn't go to Boston if you payed me, way to costly more to see and do in Orlando |
11-11-2014 | Dale Evans | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Since California is our base, it's easier/more economical to visit the "western" states. |
11-04-2014 | DANNY DAIL | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Dave Maas | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-03-2014 | DAVID J CODDINGTON | Yes | No | No | No | No | Holding the Reunion at Boston, doesn't have any significance other than being offered in the East to move it around so hopefully more would attend given that geographic location. It is very unlikely that many would attend, given those over priced room rates, and additional parking fees as well. Keeping it in the East, with Orlando, is too hot in August. And since there was recently a gathering there this past Spring, it seems redundant especially for those that made it then. The important part is continuing to hold it, since our Missileer members won't be around forever. I've attended Ohio-09, San Diago-11 and San Antonio-13, and "?"-15 wherever it will be held, I'll likely be there, especially if it is in September. |
11-01-2014 | David Chatfield | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Thanks for giving this a lot of thought and for asking for input. Costs, climate and a pleasing area are important considerations. Pricey east and west coast locations would not be appealing to us, especially during hot summers. Attractive locations with comfortable weather that may less crowded and touristy could be considered, such as Norfolk, VA, Traverse City, MI, or some locations in NC. Denver or Colorado Springs aren't bad, but we've had all we need of Orlando. |
11-02-2014 | David Cooper | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | DAVID DERAIN | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | I will attend wherever we have the reunion at. That said I agree with many of comments, Boston is too expensive and too many people. The airport is not a good place to stay to see Boston, but staying downtown costs even more. I am afraid we will have a very low turnout due to the cost in Boston. |
11-01-2014 | David R. Dennis | No | No | No | Yes | No | The only reason to go to New England in the fall is for seeing the tree colors in all their glory. Its too hot in August and all the tourist are still out. We had planned a three week vacation around the reunion but now we will not attend. In Denver, the aspen leaves change around the last week of September, the kids are back in school and the snow season is still a month away. Denver is out of the mountains so the hotel prices remain relatively stable the year around. If anyone wants to go site seeing in the mountains, the winter ski season has not started so the hotel prices in the mountains are still low. |
11-01-2014 | Dean Hamilton | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | The Denver location would be better for me in addition to the proximity to Lowery AFB which most members are probably acquainted with. |
11-02-2014 | Dennis Hornberger | No | No | No | No | Yes | Way too expensive for us on limited incomes. |
11-02-2014 | Dennis Hornberger | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I live only one hour from Orlando. The mini reunion that was held here at the Cape seemed to well attended for the short notice given. I believe there would better turnout if held in Orlando |
11-01-2014 | Dick Beal | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Since most of us went through our training at OAFB you might get the City of Orlando interested in participating. |
11-03-2014 | Don Kizer | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Boston is too expensive and I could not leave my wife for that amount of time. I would be able to make the reunion if it was held in Denver. |
11-01-2014 | Douglas Drews | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-03-2014 | Ed Johynson | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Elliott Eisman | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | |
11-02-2014 | Felix Wylezik | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Sither Denver or Florida, but Florida is pretty hot at that time of year. Florida will be cheaper... |
11-02-2014 | Felix Wylezik | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | FloriS ia more pratical financially, but Denver wouuld be OK too. |
11-05-2014 | Frank Maher | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando weather in Sept or Oct would be very comfortable, and since school would be in session (that's nice) and the Shades of Green Military Hotel is Fabulous been there 3 times price was great. |
11-01-2014 | Frank Hall | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-02-2014 | Frank M Hewitt | No | No | No | No | No | Hope you all have a swell reunion in Boston or wherever the destination turns up to be. |
11-01-2014 | Frank Martinez | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Frank Roales | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Gary P Colsch | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | I never realized the Boston room rates are that out of sight. Either Denver or Orlando is good in late September or October preferred. |
11-01-2014 | Gary Sand | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Boston is too far for me, but would probably make either Denver or Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Gene Henderson | No | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando sounds good to us. Thanks for asking |
11-01-2014 | George Craig | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | George Dana | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | George Deuce Demko | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | May get Gordie Fisk to a reunion. |
11-01-2014 | George Eachus | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | May attend if moved to Denver. Boston area too expensive. |
11-01-2014 | George GLAUSH | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I think Boston would be too expensive regardless of the month. Our attending would depend on where the reunion will finally be held. |
11-01-2014 | George Mindling | No | No | No | No | Yes | Sorry for the Orlando vote, but at least I can afford the trip as I live in Florida. You may want to disregard this answer as it isn't fair to other members. George |
11-01-2014 | Gerald L (Jerry) King | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I would be with the majority if a less expensive/alternate site is desired. Hoping the alternates are substantially less in price ($65-$75/night) |
11-01-2014 | gordon fisk | No | No | No | No | Yes | I don`t know if I would be coming for sure, but Orlando would be my choice.......... |
11-02-2014 | Greg Hicks | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | Guy Vanderman | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Most retirees live closer to Orlando, I think. Why Boston? Seems out of the way and of little significance to the TAC Missile Program. |
12-16-2014 | Hank Barlow | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Hi Max, Mentioned this to you at the last reunion. Donna and I go there every year for her medical continuing education courses. it costs a fortune for food also. We will go wherever it is but I think Orlando would be more fun. Have a Happy Holiday & great New Year Hank & Donna |
11-03-2014 | Hanley Brite | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I'm in and out of Boston a lot. I have place to stay there so this is easy for me. Looking froward to seeing old friends! |
11-04-2014 | Harold Elliott | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
01-22-2015 | Harry Gardner | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando Reunion |
11-04-2014 | Hugh Coburn | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | HUGH ROSS | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Max; People who live in the Northeast have not been able to attend those held in the western states due to the cost of airfare. If it is held in Boston, I will be driving to New Hampshire and staying with my daughter there. That's a lot better than the almost $2000 it would have cost to fly to San Antonio. Orlando would be my second choice because it is always cheaper to fly there from the Northeast. |
11-01-2014 | Jack Oliver | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | You have placed a bias in the survey by showing the room rates of September with tax included ($ 268). I vote for Boston no matter what the cost. How about an area just outside of Boston; even 50 or 60 miles away-with an all day bus trip to see Boston and its beautiful sites? After all we did vote to go to Boston. |
11-05-2014 | James (Robbie) Robertson | No | No | No | Yes | No | My attendance would be more assured in Denver than Boston or Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | James H. Bryan | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Would cost be considered in future ? I live closer to Orlando and could better afford to attend a reunion there, however if health permits, my wife and I will be there, at either site. |
11-03-2014 | James Harrison | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | James Holcomb | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | I like the Denver idea. To me it would be very appropriate because it reminds me of where I started my Mace duty at Lowery AFB. |
12-11-2014 | James I. Garner | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Almost all of us have some connection to Orlando. It is easily accessible by air. There is a lot to do while you are there. |
11-20-2014 | James lee | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I did two tours at Orlando and enjoyed both it both times. It would be nice to see it again. |
11-01-2014 | james masters | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Jeff Schiff | No | No | No | No | Yes | I picked Orlando only because I live 60 miles away. |
11-06-2014 | Jennings Raff | No | No | No | No | No | Sorry - but the hotel rates are outrageous! I've already been to Boston anyway. I am not interested in Denver or Orlando either even though we trained there. |
11-01-2014 | Jerry Brenner | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | If you do it in August, what activities would be available? The cost is very prohibitive, especially the $195+tax and who knows what else. I suggest we move it to Denver. |
11-01-2014 | jerry currie | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Jerry M Yoder | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Jim Harvey | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Denver is more centrally located. Cost in Boston is going to be higher. |
11-01-2014 | Jim Larimer | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Either Denver or Orlando are fine with me. Boston pricing is beyond my budget. |
11-01-2014 | Jim Meier | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Not sure I can make it but would like to see the reunion in Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Jim Plowden | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | *Boston is too expensive and transportation is crazy. *The Denver airport is a long way from anything!! Is there anything left of Lowery AFB? *Orland airfare is reasonable, plenty of hotels and a lot of entertainment for the family. Also, a trip to the cape or air boat rides would be fun. *Tampa is also a good alternative. Less than an hour from Orlando, cheep hotels, cheap airfare and McDill AFB may be willing to host a party. *Albuquerque, NM is inexpensive, has the Nuclear Weapons Museum and a Air Force base. |
11-01-2014 | Joe Andrew | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | I know, the instructions said to mark one choice and I marked two. That's because I'm indifferent to having the reunion in August or in Sep/Oct. My preference is to have the reunion in Boston regardless, and not Denver or Orlando (especially not Orlando in August!) |
11-01-2014 | John A Dence | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | I can see the code now. |
11-01-2014 | John Chyle | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Boston is simply too expensive |
11-01-2014 | John Chyle | No | No | No | Yes | No | Boston is too expensive and hot in August Location at airport is a poor choice for visiting Boston |
11-01-2014 | John Dulaney | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | With the estimated cost of traveling to the Boson area, staying a few nights. plus food and drink, it appears the cost is going to deter many from attending. I for one, will not make a trip to spend in te neighborhood of arrroximatelu $1500 to possible $2000 for a few short days, ot includiong any tours that may be available. |
11-01-2014 | John E. Fisher | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Boston, Denver, or Orlando, they all sound good. Just need time to plan. |
11-01-2014 | John Gibbs | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Diane and I are looking forward to going to Boston, for the Reunion of course, but also to again see the historical sights; where it all started. Leaves color in Boston is immaterial to us. August would appear to be, price-wise, best for Boston, which can be cold in October. Orlando is our 2nd choice. It is just a 1 & 1/2 hour drive from our home. Orlando, however, is also quite expensive, due to the surrounding theme parks. A Cape Canaveral charter bus tour might be attractive to those who didn't make the Florida Mini-Reunion, again complete with Hangar R. (I'd probably go to the Cape again, just for a repeat visit to Hanger R.) I understand that Orlando would be a repeat reunion location for TAC Missileers. August in Orlando is very hot. The place is crammed with families with kids, who are in school in October. We would plan to attend, whichever location is chosen by the membership intending to attend. I would vote for (1) Boston in August, (2) Orlando in October, (3) Denver in whatever month is best out there. |
11-03-2014 | John Marasi | Yes | No | No | No | No | Vegas |
11-06-2014 | Joseph Andrews | No | No | No | No | Yes | I may be able to attend if it is in Orlando, depends on the total cost. There is also the possibility of Charleston or Savannah. |
11-03-2014 | Joseph Morrow | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Needless to say, I would prefer Orlando (FL resident); and I won't travel North during cold months! |
11-03-2014 | Joseph Rea | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | JOSEPH V. TRAINA | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-03-2014 | Julian (Zito) Esposito | Yes | No | No | No | No | Hi Max, The guys I spoke with,Bob Gavula, Bob Armbruster, John Marasi, prefer Las Vages (1st) or Denver (2nd). Randi Doi likes Denver. I'll go with that choice {Las Vages (1st) or Denver (2nd)}and will support you on whatever you decide. Zito |
11-01-2014 | Ken Knapp | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | We were going to make it a New England trip and August is not good for us...... The end of September or so would be great..... I know cost is more but have not been to New England so feel it is worth it |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Corl | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Actually, all sites are a wash. Boston is expensive, but a short drive. Denver and Orlando are not too different a drive, but possibly cheaper. I prefer Orlando, but we would attend Denver. Given the number of western sites recently, it would be nice to do some place in the middle, at least. What is wrong with Branson? Good luck on this. Ken |
01-02-2015 | Kenneth Haehnel | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Boston or Orlando is better for me. Denver is not |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Roberts | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | If the guys from the 887th are coming we'll be there. Where ever, when ever except most of Sept(be in Germany) |
11-03-2014 | L Dean Twidwell | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | I would prefer Denver. |
11-01-2014 | LANCE MOORMAN | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Larry Emerson | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | LARRY HAVEMANN | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Yes I think Boston is too expensive. The last reunion in Denver was nice and the side trips to Coors and the AF Academy was nice there was not much else to do there. I think Orlando offers the best and in fall good deals can be made with the kids back in school. |
11-12-2014 | Larry Idleman | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Larry Johnston | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Location is not as important as price of the room. Retired means watching cash outflow.. LOL |
11-03-2014 | Larry Shipley | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | LOUIS MYERS | No | No | No | Yes | No | I have never been to any of the reunions due to poor health, but would love to attend this one if it were in Denver. I missed the one in San Diego,CA, as it was just before I joined. Too bad, as San Diego is only 90 miles from me. July and August are probably better as the weather turns in September. I hope to see everyone this year, as it may be my last. |
11-01-2014 | Michael Wilczynski | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | The airport hotel does not sound inviting. Perhaps a Boston suburb location could be found, however, we will be attending wherever the reunion is held. Thanks to Bill and Max for your time and effort in planning this reunion. |
11-02-2014 | Mike Alexander | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Nick Nicholson | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | I live on the west coast --Boston is not possible for me to travel ---Denver is easyer -----My budget for travel is $100 to $150 per night---Nick Nicholson |
11-01-2014 | Norman Tramba | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | More likely to attend if at Denver |
11-01-2014 | Norman Trudell | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Although I looked forward to a reunion closer to my New England residence, those Boston rates are ridiculous for a group stay. I'd opt for Orlando. |
11-08-2014 | Paul Davis | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Randall B Vaughn | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Randolph Doi | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | If moved to Denver we'll be there. If it stays in Boston we are 50/50. |
11-03-2014 | Ray Chesney | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I will attend wherever the reunion is held as long as it is not August 10 to 20. I understand the objections to price. You might find a more acceptable price by moving the location to the western suburbs of Boston. There is a tremendous amount to do in the Boston area such as Lexington and Concord, the Boston Commons and the Freedom Trail, just to name a few. If it's not in Boston, my preference would be Denver. Orlando is OK if it is in late September or October. |
11-02-2014 | Ray Isaacs | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Though health has curtailed travel past few years, a reunion in Denver may force me to make an effort to attend as we have several family members in the Denver metro area. |
11-01-2014 | Raymond Pillitteri | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I haven't been able to make it to a reunion yet. Maybe if it's in Orlando I'll finally get to attend. I currently live about 2 hours from the Mouse. |
01-02-2015 | reginald zimmerman | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Robert Bolton | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Robert E.Sims | No | No | No | No | No | I will not be able to attend this year,regardless of location. Thank you and have a great trip.Bob Sims |
11-05-2014 | Robert H Fuelling | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I submitted my request but it did not register, so I am resubmitting. I am open to wherever the reunion occurs. |
11-06-2014 | Robert H Fuelling | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Robert L Scott | No | No | No | Yes | No | I can drive to Denver and save on travel expense. Round trip to Boston is outrageous. |
11-01-2014 | ROBERT M. WEINER | No | No | No | Yes | No | EITHER DENVER OR ORLANDO WOULD BE MORE ACCEPTABLE. DENVER IS MORE IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY AND CHEAPER THAN BOSTON. ORLANDO IS CHEAPER AND HAS MANY MORE HOTELS TO CHOSE FROM |
11-02-2014 | Robert S Conductor | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-09-2014 | Robert W Valenti | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-09-2014 | Robert W Valenti | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | roger d jones | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | warren&george will surly show-up!!! plenty to do!!! |
11-08-2014 | Roger Lamothe | Unsure | No | No | No | No | Being from Lowell,Ma I can tell you that if you get out of Boston proper and go to the surrounding towns, you can book accomodations much cheaper! The travel can be cut down by taking one of many trains from there to Boston. Matter of fact, why not one of the cities in NH. That way you could enjoy the fall colors (if you hold it in late October or early Nov. (I would suggest Manchester,NH) |
11-06-2014 | Roger St.Germain | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | I am for Orlando, Of course I am biased, I live in Florida. would be great place and most all of us started out at Orlando.... |
11-01-2014 | Ron Boyle | No | No | No | No | No | Thanks for the info. To far from Hawaii |
11-03-2014 | Ron Daniels | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Ron Lyscik | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | It is definitely not a good idea to stay at the airport. Surely there must be some less expensive hotels in the suburbs. Most of the previous reunions have been in the west. I believe there is a lot of things to see and places to go in the boston area. |
11-01-2014 | Ron Wiatrowski "Ski" | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | To me it didn't used to be where you had a reunion as long as you got to be with my ole Air Force brothers. I could enjoy 4 days and nights sitting around a camp fire, telling stories about the times we had together back when were young and thought we'd live forever, as we did with our 887th TMS reunion here in 1985. Health and finances have changed this situation for a lot of us. We loose more of our comrades every year. Thanks to the guys who put these reunions together so we can enjoy being with those who are still with us and relive the memories of those who are gone, but not forgotten. I will try to attend if Denver is selected. |
11-02-2014 | Ronald W. Baertsch | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | The room rates and costs of eating in Boston are quite high priced. Boston would be a nice history location, however, Denver (Lowry AFB)is the place where all or most of the Matador/Mace people received their training. I am sure Denver would bring back a lot of fond memories. Orlando would be my second choice for the same reasons. |
11-01-2014 | ROOSEVELT SHORT | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | Based on the cost analysis provided by you I find it far too expensive for just a hotel room without any amenities. |
11-01-2014 | Russ Reston | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I'd like to see the Reunion remain in the Boston area even if it is necessary to stay in a hotel in one of the suburbs. |
11-01-2014 | Russell Bledsoe | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-04-2014 | Sid Segler | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Many people enjoyed our Mini-reunion in Florida. I vote for Orlando! |
11-01-2014 | STANDFORD Pisle | Unsure | No | Yes | Yes | No | I believe it should be moved to Denver a More central location. |
11-01-2014 | Stephen Rozic Jr. | No | No | No | No | No | The reunion should be moved to Charleston South Carolina, or Savannah Georgia |
11-01-2014 | Ted Ebbinga | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | I would suggest moving outside of Boston in Sept/Oct if priced below the 180-200 mark, or just go to Denver or Orlando instead. |
11-01-2014 | Terrance Bennett | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Not sure about Boston. Denver is nice, as well as Orlando, or San Antonio. More likely to attend one of those due to distance traveled, other than Orlando of course. |
11-01-2014 | Terry Sickeler | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Thomas Conrad | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Tim Lewinski | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | We did not attend the last reunion (s) because I can no longer fly (health). So drive distance is a limiting factor. Denver for me is an easier drive so Denver has my vote. Also I think that costs may be less than Orlando and of course Boston. |
11-02-2014 | Tim Lewinski | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Tim Lewinski | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Tom Campbell | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | Would probably try to make Boston, but Denver would be better - the last Denver reunion was great. |
11-01-2014 | Tony Valovich | Yes | No | No | No | No | I did not answer the above questions. Sorry. I voted for Boston because I wanted to go to Boston. I realized immediately, having been there before and even commenting to Max or someone, that it would be too expensive for the average person. Probably not too expensive but most would not be willing to spend the money. I will go anywhere. Orlando is hot always. I live here. Love it. Denver is another place to visit, been there many times. Would like to consider Vegas or Dakotas to see Grand Canyon or Mount Rushmore. Final answer, I will go where majority wants to go. I have no preference. Main emphasis is visitation with secondary sightseeing. |
11-01-2014 | Vernon A Packard | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-20-2014 | Vince | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Has a connection to the program |
11-01-2014 | Walter Fenley | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-02-2014 | William Krebs | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | William Rinker | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | Just too expensive either time. Too HOT in August. |
11-03-2014 | William Rodd | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Denver is best for me, I'll be in Montana July thru September. |

11-02-2014 | Cornelius E. Wood | Unsure | Yes | No | No | No | Why not Boston Area away from the Airport. The most expensive lodging is always at the Airport or downtown. The area has several suburb locations that might prove to be more reasonable. Just a thought. Have Fun! Neil |
11-04-2014 | DANNY DAIL | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Elliott Eisman | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | |

11-01-2014 | George Craig | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Gerald L (Jerry) King | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I would be with the majority if a less expensive/alternate site is desired. Hoping the alternates are substantially less in price ($65-$75/night) |
11-03-2014 | Hanley Brite | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I'm in and out of Boston a lot. I have place to stay there so this is easy for me. Looking froward to seeing old friends! |
11-01-2014 | HUGH ROSS | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Max; People who live in the Northeast have not been able to attend those held in the western states due to the cost of airfare. If it is held in Boston, I will be driving to New Hampshire and staying with my daughter there. That's a lot better than the almost $2000 it would have cost to fly to San Antonio. Orlando would be my second choice because it is always cheaper to fly there from the Northeast. |
11-01-2014 | Jack Oliver | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | You have placed a bias in the survey by showing the room rates of September with tax included ($ 268). I vote for Boston no matter what the cost. How about an area just outside of Boston; even 50 or 60 miles away-with an all day bus trip to see Boston and its beautiful sites? After all we did vote to go to Boston. |
11-01-2014 | Joe Andrew | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | I know, the instructions said to mark one choice and I marked two. That's because I'm indifferent to having the reunion in August or in Sep/Oct. My preference is to have the reunion in Boston regardless, and not Denver or Orlando (especially not Orlando in August!) |
11-01-2014 | John E. Fisher | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Boston, Denver, or Orlando, they all sound good. Just need time to plan. |
11-01-2014 | John Gibbs | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Diane and I are looking forward to going to Boston, for the Reunion of course, but also to again see the historical sights; where it all started. Leaves color in Boston is immaterial to us. August would appear to be, price-wise, best for Boston, which can be cold in October. Orlando is our 2nd choice. It is just a 1 & 1/2 hour drive from our home. Orlando, however, is also quite expensive, due to the surrounding theme parks. A Cape Canaveral charter bus tour might be attractive to those who didn't make the Florida Mini-Reunion, again complete with Hangar R. (I'd probably go to the Cape again, just for a repeat visit to Hanger R.) I understand that Orlando would be a repeat reunion location for TAC Missileers. August in Orlando is very hot. The place is crammed with families with kids, who are in school in October. We would plan to attend, whichever location is chosen by the membership intending to attend. I would vote for (1) Boston in August, (2) Orlando in October, (3) Denver in whatever month is best out there. |
11-01-2014 | Ken Knapp | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | We were going to make it a New England trip and August is not good for us...... The end of September or so would be great..... I know cost is more but have not been to New England so feel it is worth it |
01-02-2015 | Kenneth Haehnel | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Boston or Orlando is better for me. Denver is not |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Roberts | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | If the guys from the 887th are coming we'll be there. Where ever, when ever except most of Sept(be in Germany) |
11-01-2014 | Randall B Vaughn | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-03-2014 | Ray Chesney | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I will attend wherever the reunion is held as long as it is not August 10 to 20. I understand the objections to price. You might find a more acceptable price by moving the location to the western suburbs of Boston. There is a tremendous amount to do in the Boston area such as Lexington and Concord, the Boston Commons and the Freedom Trail, just to name a few. If it's not in Boston, my preference would be Denver. Orlando is OK if it is in late September or October. |
11-05-2014 | Robert H Fuelling | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I submitted my request but it did not register, so I am resubmitting. I am open to wherever the reunion occurs. |
11-06-2014 | Robert H Fuelling | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-09-2014 | Robert W Valenti | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-09-2014 | Robert W Valenti | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | |
11-02-2014 | Ron Lyscik | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | It is definitely not a good idea to stay at the airport. Surely there must be some less expensive hotels in the suburbs. Most of the previous reunions have been in the west. I believe there is a lot of things to see and places to go in the boston area. |
11-01-2014 | Russ Reston | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | I'd like to see the Reunion remain in the Boston area even if it is necessary to stay in a hotel in one of the suburbs. |
11-01-2014 | STANDFORD Pisle | Unsure | No | Yes | Yes | No | I believe it should be moved to Denver a More central location. |

11-01-2014 | Al Soboleski | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | As far as I am concerned Boston has no connection to our time in TAC missiles. |
11-01-2014 | Bob Wildrick | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | There is a lot to see around the Denver area. Wings over the Rockies air museum is on what used to be Lowery AFB. Of course there is the AF academy, Peterson AFB, and possibly Cheyenne Mtn. if they will let us in. |
11-09-2014 | cal collier | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-11-2014 | cal collier | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-03-2014 | Clark Wormer | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Because of the cost, I think the reunion would have a better turnout if moved to Denver or Orlando. |
11-05-2014 | Clay Boyce | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-11-2014 | Dale Evans | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Since California is our base, it's easier/more economical to visit the "western" states. |
11-01-2014 | Dave Maas | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | David Chatfield | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Thanks for giving this a lot of thought and for asking for input. Costs, climate and a pleasing area are important considerations. Pricey east and west coast locations would not be appealing to us, especially during hot summers. Attractive locations with comfortable weather that may less crowded and touristy could be considered, such as Norfolk, VA, Traverse City, MI, or some locations in NC. Denver or Colorado Springs aren't bad, but we've had all we need of Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | DAVID DERAIN | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | I will attend wherever we have the reunion at. That said I agree with many of comments, Boston is too expensive and too many people. The airport is not a good place to stay to see Boston, but staying downtown costs even more. I am afraid we will have a very low turnout due to the cost in Boston. |
11-01-2014 | Dean Hamilton | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | The Denver location would be better for me in addition to the proximity to Lowery AFB which most members are probably acquainted with. |
11-03-2014 | Don Kizer | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Boston is too expensive and I could not leave my wife for that amount of time. I would be able to make the reunion if it was held in Denver. |
11-01-2014 | Douglas Drews | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-03-2014 | Ed Johynson | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Gary P Colsch | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | I never realized the Boston room rates are that out of sight. Either Denver or Orlando is good in late September or October preferred. |
11-01-2014 | Gary Sand | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Boston is too far for me, but would probably make either Denver or Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | George Eachus | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | May attend if moved to Denver. Boston area too expensive. |
12-16-2014 | Hank Barlow | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Hi Max, Mentioned this to you at the last reunion. Donna and I go there every year for her medical continuing education courses. it costs a fortune for food also. We will go wherever it is but I think Orlando would be more fun. Have a Happy Holiday & great New Year Hank & Donna |
11-04-2014 | Harold Elliott | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | James Holcomb | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | I like the Denver idea. To me it would be very appropriate because it reminds me of where I started my Mace duty at Lowery AFB. |
11-01-2014 | Jerry Brenner | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | If you do it in August, what activities would be available? The cost is very prohibitive, especially the $195+tax and who knows what else. I suggest we move it to Denver. |
11-01-2014 | jerry currie | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Jerry M Yoder | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Jim Harvey | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Denver is more centrally located. Cost in Boston is going to be higher. |
11-01-2014 | Jim Larimer | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Either Denver or Orlando are fine with me. Boston pricing is beyond my budget. |
11-01-2014 | John Chyle | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Boston is simply too expensive |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Roberts | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | If the guys from the 887th are coming we'll be there. Where ever, when ever except most of Sept(be in Germany) |

11-12-2014 | Larry Idleman | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Larry Johnston | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Location is not as important as price of the room. Retired means watching cash outflow.. LOL |
11-03-2014 | Larry Shipley | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Michael Wilczynski | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | The airport hotel does not sound inviting. Perhaps a Boston suburb location could be found, however, we will be attending wherever the reunion is held. Thanks to Bill and Max for your time and effort in planning this reunion. |
11-01-2014 | Nick Nicholson | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | I live on the west coast --Boston is not possible for me to travel ---Denver is easyer -----My budget for travel is $100 to $150 per night---Nick Nicholson |
11-01-2014 | Norman Tramba | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | More likely to attend if at Denver |
11-08-2014 | Paul Davis | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Randolph Doi | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | If moved to Denver we'll be there. If it stays in Boston we are 50/50. |
11-02-2014 | Ray Isaacs | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | Though health has curtailed travel past few years, a reunion in Denver may force me to make an effort to attend as we have several family members in the Denver metro area. |
01-02-2015 | reginald zimmerman | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Robert S Conductor | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-03-2014 | Ron Daniels | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Ron Wiatrowski "Ski" | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | To me it didn't used to be where you had a reunion as long as you got to be with my ole Air Force brothers. I could enjoy 4 days and nights sitting around a camp fire, telling stories about the times we had together back when were young and thought we'd live forever, as we did with our 887th TMS reunion here in 1985. Health and finances have changed this situation for a lot of us. We loose more of our comrades every year. Thanks to the guys who put these reunions together so we can enjoy being with those who are still with us and relive the memories of those who are gone, but not forgotten. I will try to attend if Denver is selected. |
11-02-2014 | Ronald W. Baertsch | Unsure | No | No | Yes | No | The room rates and costs of eating in Boston are quite high priced. Boston would be a nice history location, however, Denver (Lowry AFB)is the place where all or most of the Matador/Mace people received their training. I am sure Denver would bring back a lot of fond memories. Orlando would be my second choice for the same reasons. |
11-01-2014 | ROOSEVELT SHORT | Yes | No | No | Yes | No | Based on the cost analysis provided by you I find it far too expensive for just a hotel room without any amenities. |
11-01-2014 | STANDFORD Pisle | Unsure | No | Yes | Yes | No | I believe it should be moved to Denver a More central location. |
11-01-2014 | Ted Ebbinga | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | I would suggest moving outside of Boston in Sept/Oct if priced below the 180-200 mark, or just go to Denver or Orlando instead. |
11-01-2014 | Terrance Bennett | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Not sure about Boston. Denver is nice, as well as Orlando, or San Antonio. More likely to attend one of those due to distance traveled, other than Orlando of course. |

11-22-2014 | Andy hernandez | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Art Donahue | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I have no desire to return to Boston, unless it happens to be on the way to the cape. Plus, I winter in Florida now two short hours from Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Art Gust | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Bolton, R | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | ill go where ever it is held, but think another venue would be a better choice than Boston. |
11-10-2014 | brashear, michael | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Bruce Johnson | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Some of the Orlando Area Hotels offer really good reunion rates for Military Reunions. Also, there is always Shades of Green at Disney which is a military hotel. They also have an office which helps reunions which want to stay at other Disney Area Hotels, negotiate very good rates. |
11-03-2014 | Clark Wormer | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Because of the cost, I think the reunion would have a better turnout if moved to Denver or Orlando. |
11-02-2014 | David Cooper | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | Dennis Hornberger | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I live only one hour from Orlando. The mini reunion that was held here at the Cape seemed to well attended for the short notice given. I believe there would better turnout if held in Orlando |
11-01-2014 | Dick Beal | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Since most of us went through our training at OAFB you might get the City of Orlando interested in participating. |
11-03-2014 | Ed Johynson | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | Felix Wylezik | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Sither Denver or Florida, but Florida is pretty hot at that time of year. Florida will be cheaper... |
11-02-2014 | Felix Wylezik | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | FloriS ia more pratical financially, but Denver wouuld be OK too. |
11-05-2014 | Frank Maher | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando weather in Sept or Oct would be very comfortable, and since school would be in session (that's nice) and the Shades of Green Military Hotel is Fabulous been there 3 times price was great. |
11-01-2014 | Frank Roales | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |

11-01-2014 | George GLAUSH | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I think Boston would be too expensive regardless of the month. Our attending would depend on where the reunion will finally be held. |
11-02-2014 | Guy Vanderman | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Most retirees live closer to Orlando, I think. Why Boston? Seems out of the way and of little significance to the TAC Missile Program. |
12-16-2014 | Hank Barlow | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Hi Max, Mentioned this to you at the last reunion. Donna and I go there every year for her medical continuing education courses. it costs a fortune for food also. We will go wherever it is but I think Orlando would be more fun.

01-22-2015 | Harry Gardner | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando Reunion |
11-01-2014 | James H. Bryan | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Would cost be considered in future ? I live closer to Orlando and could better afford to attend a reunion there, however if health permits, my wife and I will be there, at either site. |
12-11-2014 | James I. Garner | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Almost all of us have some connection to Orlando. It is easily accessible by air. There is a lot to do while you are there. |
11-20-2014 | James lee | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I did two tours at Orlando and enjoyed both it both times. It would be nice to see it again. |

11-01-2014 | Jim Meier | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Not sure I can make it but would like to see the reunion in Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Jim Plowden | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | *Boston is too expensive and transportation is crazy. *The Denver airport is a long way from anything!! Is there anything left of Lowery AFB? *Orland airfare is reasonable, plenty of hotels and a lot of entertainment for the family. Also, a trip to the cape or air boat rides would be fun. *Tampa is also a good alternative. Less than an hour from Orlando, cheep hotels, cheap airfare and McDill AFB may be willing to host a party. *Albuquerque, NM is inexpensive, has the Nuclear Weapons Museum and a Air Force base. |
11-01-2014 | John A Dence | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | I can see the code now. |
11-01-2014 | John Chyle | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | Boston is simply too expensive |
11-01-2014 | John Dulaney | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | With the estimated cost of traveling to the Boson area, staying a few nights. plus food and drink, it appears the cost is going to deter many from attending. I for one, will not make a trip to spend in te neighborhood of arrroximatelu $1500 to possible $2000 for a few short days, ot includiong any tours that may be available. |
11-03-2014 | Joseph Morrow | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Needless to say, I would prefer Orlando (FL resident); and I won't travel North during cold months! |
11-03-2014 | Joseph Rea | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | JOSEPH V. TRAINA | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Corl | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Actually, all sites are a wash. Boston is expensive, but a short drive. Denver and Orlando are not too different a drive, but possibly cheaper. I prefer Orlando, but we would attend Denver. Given the number of western sites recently, it would be nice to do some place in the middle, at least. What is wrong with Branson? Good luck on this. Ken |
11-02-2014 | Kenneth Roberts | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | If the guys from the 887th are coming we'll be there. Where ever, when ever except most of Sept(be in Germany) |
11-03-2014 | L Dean Twidwell | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | I would prefer Denver. |
11-01-2014 | LARRY HAVEMANN | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Yes I think Boston is too expensive. The last reunion in Denver was nice and the side trips to Coors and the AF Academy was nice there was not much else to do there. I think Orlando offers the best and in fall good deals can be made with the kids back in school. |
11-03-2014 | Larry Shipley | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Michael Wilczynski | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | The airport hotel does not sound inviting. Perhaps a Boston suburb location could be found, however, we will be attending wherever the reunion is held. Thanks to Bill and Max for your time and effort in planning this reunion. |
11-01-2014 | Norman Trudell | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Although I looked forward to a reunion closer to my New England residence, those Boston rates are ridiculous for a group stay. I'd opt for Orlando. |
11-01-2014 | Raymond Pillitteri | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | I haven't been able to make it to a reunion yet. Maybe if it's in Orlando I'll finally get to attend. I currently live about 2 hours from the Mouse. |
11-01-2014 | Robert Bolton | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | roger d jones | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | warren&george will surly show-up!!! plenty to do!!! |
11-06-2014 | Roger St.Germain | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | I am for Orlando, Of course I am biased, I live in Florida. would be great place and most all of us started out at Orlando.... |
11-04-2014 | Sid Segler | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Many people enjoyed our Mini-reunion in Florida. I vote for Orlando! |
11-01-2014 | Ted Ebbinga | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | I would suggest moving outside of Boston in Sept/Oct if priced below the 180-200 mark, or just go to Denver or Orlando instead. |
11-01-2014 | Terrance Bennett | Unsure | No | No | Yes | Yes | Not sure about Boston. Denver is nice, as well as Orlando, or San Antonio. More likely to attend one of those due to distance traveled, other than Orlando of course. |
11-20-2014 | Vince | Unsure | No | No | No | Yes | Has a connection to the program |

11-18-2014 | Bob Brewster | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-02-2014 | Carl L Corbin | No | No | No | Yes | No | It seems to me that these details should have been obtained at an earlier date. I was not planning on going to Boston because of the high cost of lodging, parking, food, and cost of transportation. If you decide to go to Denver I would attend the reunion |
11-01-2014 | Chuck Scheerschmidt | No | No | No | Yes | No | Can't make it to the east coast with all that we have on our plate here. Would make it to Denver up through October of next year or San Antonio during the winter months. |
11-02-2014 | Cliff Kunkel | No | No | No | No | No | Although I will not attend I still feel that cost and location is very important. I think the reunion should more in the center of the country for everyones convenience. Some of us have difficulties traveling. |
11-02-2014 | curtis mckee | No | No | No | No | Yes | I wouldn't go to Boston if you payed me, way to costly more to see and do in Orlando |
11-01-2014 | David R. Dennis | No | No | No | Yes | No | The only reason to go to New England in the fall is for seeing the tree colors in all their glory. Its too hot in August and all the tourist are still out. We had planned a three week vacation around the reunion but now we will not attend. In Denver, the aspen leaves change around the last week of September, the kids are back in school and the snow season is still a month away. Denver is out of the mountains so the hotel prices remain relatively stable the year around. If anyone wants to go site seeing in the mountains, the winter ski season has not started so the hotel prices in the mountains are still low. |
11-02-2014 | Dennis Hornberger | No | No | No | No | Yes | Way too expensive for us on limited incomes. |
11-02-2014 | Frank M Hewitt | No | No | No | No | No | Hope you all have a swell reunion in Boston or wherever the destination turns up to be. |
11-01-2014 | Gene Henderson | No | No | No | No | Yes | Orlando sounds good to us. Thanks for asking |
11-01-2014 | George Mindling | No | No | No | No | Yes | Sorry for the Orlando vote, but at least I can afford the trip as I live in Florida. You may want to disregard this answer as it isn't fair to other members. George |
11-01-2014 | gordon fisk | No | No | No | No | Yes | I don`t know if I would be coming for sure, but Orlando would be my choice.......... |
11-02-2014 | Greg Hicks | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-04-2014 | Hugh Coburn | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-05-2014 | James (Robbie) Robertson | No | No | No | Yes | No | My attendance would be more assured in Denver than Boston or Orlando. |
11-03-2014 | James Harrison | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | Jeff Schiff | No | No | No | No | Yes | I picked Orlando only because I live 60 miles away. |
11-06-2014 | Jennings Raff | No | No | No | No | No | Sorry - but the hotel rates are outrageous! I've already been to Boston anyway. I am not interested in Denver or Orlando either even though we trained there. |
11-01-2014 | John Chyle | No | No | No | Yes | No | Boston is too expensive and hot in August Location at airport is a poor choice for visiting Boston |
11-06-2014 | Joseph Andrews | No | No | No | No | Yes | I may be able to attend if it is in Orlando, depends on the total cost. There is also the possibility of Charleston or Savannah. |
11-01-2014 | Larry Emerson | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
11-01-2014 | LOUIS MYERS | No | No | No | Yes | No | I have never been to any of the reunions due to poor health, but would love to attend this one if it were in Denver. I missed the one in San Diego,CA, as it was just before I joined. Too bad, as San Diego is only 90 miles from me. July and August are probably better as the weather turns in September. I hope to see everyone this year, as it may be my last. |
11-02-2014 | Mike Alexander | No | No | No | Yes | No | |
11-01-2014 | Robert E.Sims | No | No | No | No | No | I will not be able to attend this year,regardless of location. Thank you and have a great trip.Bob Sims |
11-01-2014 | Robert L Scott | No | No | No | Yes | No | I can drive to Denver and save on travel expense. Round trip to Boston is outrageous. |
11-01-2014 | ROBERT M. WEINER | No | No | No | Yes | No | EITHER DENVER OR ORLANDO WOULD BE MORE ACCEPTABLE. DENVER IS MORE IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY AND CHEAPER THAN BOSTON. ORLANDO IS CHEAPER AND HAS MANY MORE HOTELS TO CHOSE FROM |
11-01-2014 | Ron Boyle | No | No | No | No | No | Thanks for the info. To far from Hawaii |
11-01-2014 | Russell Bledsoe | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Stephen Rozic Jr. | No | No | No | No | No | The reunion should be moved to Charleston South Carolina, or Savannah Georgia |
11-01-2014 | Terry Sickeler | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | Walter Fenley | No | No | No | No | No | |
11-01-2014 | William Rinker | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | Just too expensive either time. Too HOT in August. |
