Airborne Re-union 19-21 June 2008

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi

For anyone who had anything to do with the Big Maroon Machine, I have recieved the following regarding the re-union in Edmonton in Summer 2008:

First, I beg your forgiveness if you have already received either an email or letter with details on the reunion. The Reunion Committee is endeavoring in making personal contact with as many as possible and getting the reunion information out there so all gets that personal contact. In doing so, I ask that if you have personal contacts who may be interested in attending and have not received a personal note that you pass this information onto them or back to me so that I can make contact, as I have here. We are hard working into making this reunion as great a success as those of the past. So, mark your calendars, get your registration forms in and if need be make that contact with any of of the contacts listed herein to get any other info you may need.

Here's hoping to seeing you next summer, until then. Airborne.

Wasn't the Big Maroon Machine Bert Hoffmeister' Fifth Armoured Division? Has the name been taken up anew?

Hi Gord

You got me there. My mistake.

Let's say then, the "other" Maroon Machine.

Sound better than the "Maroon Baboons" anyway!!
