Our Host
Dana "Conan" Duthie

 

This absolutely superb reunion, our 14th, was held in Colorado Springs in conjunction with the Air Force Academy's homecoming football game of 1993.  For those that attended, a "tailgate" party was enjoyed before the game.  Our Headhunter Open Golf Tournament was held on the spectacular and beautiful Academy golf course--with dozens of deer as our spectators!  Our guest speaker at our Saturday night banquet was Capt Masajiro "Mike" Kawato, the Japanese Ace who wrote his book "Bye Bye Black Sheep" that tells of allegedly shooting down our Marine Ace, "Pappy" Boyington.
