| Comment: | Received the following from Patty Carriere pattycarriere@me.com Just a quick correction: I was notified today that the code word for the hotel is “AHC”, not “Gladiator “. So when you make hotel reservations, please give the discount code as “AHC”. That is for the Hampton Inn in Enterprise, AL 334-347-5763 | |

| Comment: | Received the following from Patty Carriere pattycarriere@me.com Just a quick update. Plans are all set to have the banquet at the country club on Friday night, October 6th. Saturday morning will be the memorial dedication, followed by a luncheon at Fort Landing (officer’s club), and a stop at the museum. All of Saturday’s events are on an active base, so the plan is to bus everyone there as credentials are needed for access. This will be explained further on the registration form. The meeting will be held either Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Yet to be determined. I will be mailing “save the date” postcards. Not only does this help you with a reminder, but also helps keep the address list up to date. Look for registration forms to be mailed mid-July. Sam Moore Keeper of the Roster | |

| Comment: | Received the following update from Patty Carriere pattycarriere@me.com The hotel just signed the contract today, so it may not quite be in their system. I suggest giving it a day. But kudos to you for being on top of it!! 😄 Still trying to establish the venue for the banquet. The venue John had picked is not available on Saturday, but it is on Friday so we may have the banquet Friday. There will be a memorial dedication, a luncheon and a stop at the museum, which is all on base. So pre-registration will be required as it is an active base. Today’s notice was a “save the date”. More info will be passed in as things are finalized. Thank you! We’re really looking forward to reconnecting with everyone! Patty | |

| Comment: | Received the following from Patty Carriere and am posting for all to see. So I can confirm through John Horton that the 57th reunion will be in Enterprise, AL October 5-8, 2023. He is still working on signing the hotel contract, which I expect will be done within 10 days or so. Would you please put out a notice on the website? I can do facebook site too if you want. But I thought I'd let you know. I know we talked about April, but the construction was iffy to whether or not it was going to be done on time. Well... at least ppl will have the dates for planning. | |

| Comment: | I have written the series Undaunted Valor. Books 1-4 are currently in print. Book Five, Battle For An Loc is with the Editor and I am researching book six, Battle For Kontum. The 57th plays heavily in that battle along with the Pink Panthers. I would like to talk to anyone that flew at that time with the Gladiators and Cougars. Please contact me. I am including a chapter about James Hunsiker and crews actions and want to be sure I get it right. My email is as above or mattjacksonbooks@gmail.com. Thanks. | |

| Comment: | I should have said… I don’t know how to delete previous note. So to clarify, John Horton is not intervening in the memorial at all. He is simply trying to coordinate the timing of the reunion with the memorial dedication. We may know by the end of the week. Sorry for the confusion. | |
