Mesa, AZ - 2004
22nd Reunion
Hosted by
"The Reunion Brats"
22 - 25 April 2004
Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites
This 22nd reunion was small, only about 72 at the Saturday night
banquet, but it was a great one put on by The Reunion Brats of Washington
State. Jeri Glass, their local representative, did an outstanding job for
us, and we all look forward to working with her in the future.
