I just received this from Rich Banks. Dick
I recently received the notification from Joe’s daughter, Cathy, that Joe pass away on September 15th. There will be a memorial service at the Sun Valley Episcopal Church on October 13 2PM.
I will ask Cathy to forward me a copy of Joe’s obituary so I can pass it along to all.

Ladies and Gents,
I have been gently corrected concerning the luncheon price.
Those of you who have been attending will remember that the cost was NOT $20!
LUNCH, INCLUDING TAX AND GRATUITY IS $28.00
It IS WORTH IT!
Mea Culpa
See you and 22 others tomorrow.

Our speaker for Thursday, 19 July is Tom Gehman who will talk about his experiences in the A4 Skyhawk.
Ken Koster has told me that Dr. Rich Sugden, CDR, USN, Retired said he knows of Tom and would like to hear what he has to say
but, that he can’t attend. He expressed a desire to have someone video Tom’s presentation and send it to him.
I suppose anyone could do that with their smart phone and the share it through an attachment to an email.
Any volunteers?
If so email me at pjbro5790@att.net
BTW, Dr. Sugden owns The Teton Air Museum.

Thanks,

The Luncheon and Program are coming together nicely. Allan Cartwright’s guest speaker, Tom Gehman will talk to us about his fun times
in the A4 Skyray (Scooter). Yeah, I know. Well, there will be someone there to satisfy you Phantom II fans too.
Tom Goldt might want to tell us about those fun times when he made a few trips in his F4 to “Downtown.”
Reg Hearn will bring his daughter, Robyn Price with him. And Bruce Cowee will bring us up to date on the near birth of Volume 3
of “Vietnam To Western Airlines.”
Spouses and friends are welcome. Just don’t surprise me on the day of the event. Are you listening, Gorrilla?

Hi Wallybirds,
I made a huge mistake concerning Our speaker, Tom Gehman.
Tom will talk about his adventures in the McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom II
not the A4 as I previously wrote.
My apologies.
Paul B
I neglected to identify our Mystery Speaker.
Allan Cartwright has enlisted Tom Gehman to tell us about his many adventures in the much revered
Douglas A4 Skyhawk, fondly remembered by some as the “Scooter.”
Now weigh anchor and sail to OAK with us.
