A total of 95 members and guests attended the 2010 reunion of the 87th APSA.  We had a banquet dinner with guest speakers.  Awards were given out to the people who wrote newsletter articles, plaques were give the the guest speaker and the current 1st sargent of the 87th APS.   Many people drove long distances to attend the reunion.  members drove from Gettysburg, PA and  Roswell, George.  Geoffrey Stamp drove 1,500 miles from Rio Rancho New Mexico to attend. 
 
We are continuing to seek out out current and former military pals so that we can grow our association.   One week after the first reunion,  several members from our association were able to visit our former 1st shirt Cliff Cooper.   We were excited to be able to see and talk with Cliff.

Charlie,Terry, Harvey, Bob and Tom went to the 87th UTA.  We briefly meet with the squadron members after their PT workout ended at 4 PM on Saturday.   We passed out about 20 membership forms and copies of the 2nd newsletter. 
We are trying to let everyone know about the reunion on 3-6 June 2010.   Help us out by talking with current and former members.   We want every one to join us so we can to have a great reunion.  At the reunion we will hold elections and plan the place and time for the 2nd reunion.
