Although I have no official connection with any planning committee for the events of the weekend, I thought that I would take this opportunity to pass along information that has come my way.

Things to see and do The RA5-C Aircraft is on display in the 4.5 acre Naval Air Station-Sanford Memorial Park, located at the Lake Mary Boulevard main entrance to Sanford International Airport. Recently a Bronze Plaque, mounted near the Vigilante, was dedicated honoring the Enlisted Bombardier Navigators. We received a second aircraft for the park on 9 December, 2003. We have the only PV-1 Ventura Patrol Bomber in the United States. This is the first plane used at Sanford Training Command in May 1943. A must to see this year is the Sanford Veterans Memorial at the lake front. There are over 2252 “Bricks” on display, representing Veterans from Civil War to current. Is your “Brick” there? We have NAS History on display at the Museum in downtown Sanford, located on First Street. There is also a display of NAS History at the Sanford/Orlando International Airport Baggage Pickup Area in Terminal B. If you have any pictures or history from 1942 to 1968, please bring them (or photocopies) for us. Our Reunions are growing smaller in attendance. Last year we had a good turn out, but hope to have a better one this year. It is always fun to see and exchange sea stories with old Shipmates. We look forward to seeing You this year! This may be our last Reunion with our economy the way it is. If you are unable to attend, but would like to send in your article or photograph for display in our History Museum, be sure to include your name, along with a description of the photograph or article, so we may acknowledge you.
