2017 Christmas party notes….Thanks to
lots of members’ help, we had a good turnout of 45 for our 26th Yule
event. There were 4 extra lunches which were raffled off. Don Lee was
the special honoree this year for his USN service on 14 hr early
warning missions above the Arctic Circle on the EC-121 (“Connie”).
Cornball award for worst good jokes went to Hal Smith. Rueanna Brychta
received the Spark Plug Award for years of help with procuring and
decorating raffle gifts. She was unable to attend so Michael DiSalvo
received for her. Phil Jordan again provided music and displayed the
antique Charles Dickens type dolls made by his mother 50 + yrs ago. He
also showed the Viet Nam era mess kits GIs used for past Christmas
dinners in the field. God bless and good health to all in 2017! Fotos
