22nd Reunion
Hosted by: "The Reunion Brats"
22 - 25 April 2004

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.
