23rd Reunion

Hosted by: "The Reunion Brats"

6-9 October 2005

Alexis Park Hotel

This great 23rd reunion was put on by The Reunion Brats of Washington State. Joni Osterman, their local representative, did an outstanding job for us, and we all look forward to working with her in the future. We had about 90 for our Saturday night banquet. Both active and retired Headhunters from WWII to the present attended. Some of our WWII members came in again from as far away as Hawaii, Wisconsin and Tennessee. A great time was had by all!!
