    Curtis and Paula have been very busy working on the 2008 reunion in Omaha. It is scheduled for September 24-28. You will find all the pertinent information for making your reservation at the Quality Inn in this packet.

    We have scheduled a tour of Offutt Air Force Base and a railroad museum.

Ford Birthplace, Heartland Gondolas, Joslyn Castle, Wildlife Safari, and plenty of shopping malls to spend your money at.
