I would say all hands really enjoyed them selves in Washington DC. We had

scheduled 4 Tours, and had almost 100% participation, on all tours. The price

was right as the Association Treasury (Your Dues at Work) paid 40 to 50% of

the actual cost. Example: The DC City tour was $50 you paid only $25. We

filled 3 buses with some room to spar. This year we had 133 people register with

only 3 couples having to cancel at last second. We were able to refund almost

everyone's registration fees, so next year book early and if you can not make it

Just give us a call; hopefully before the cut off date of Sept.7th so we do not

have to pay for the Tour or Dinner.

2016 reunion Site has been Selected. We will be in Chattanooga Tennessee, so

get your Engineers Cap on as we are staying at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. So

All Aboard for 2016 Reunion starting September 28th, 29th, 30th October 1st

and checking out on October 2nd.

We plan at lest two or three Tours, and next year Trish will rate the amount of

walking by the Number of Canes. Just like the Cruise Lines with the little guy

walking up hill. Rating 1 to 4, if you see a 5, she’s not going.

We should have had this for the Arlington tour, that had a 3 1/2 Cane rating, but

at the time we Booked the tour we had no idea the walk would be so long. After

all it was worth it. We had the opportunity to see the changing of the guard, and

the master sergeant was running the SHOW (SORRY for the long walk).

LAST CALL FROM THE SHIPS STORE
