PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
The National Reunion has come and gone. What a wonderful
time was had by all. As time goes by we seem to enjoy getting
together and just visiting more as time moves along.
We did have some glitches that were upsetting, and we do
apologize to you. We promise to work harder in the future to
minimize any such inconvenience.
Don Hering did an excellent job as Reunion Chairman and is
to be congratulated on a task well done. We had a total
attendance of 880 with lots of new members and first timers.
Most of all I want to thank all the fine people who served so
well in the many jobs that are a part of any Reunion.
Elsewhere in this HCN you can read of the appointment of a
Committee to consult and guide the use of and the perpetu-
ation of the 12th ADA history.
