Compatriots and Friends:

The Boston Reunion was a great success despite a lot of rain and some travel problems by the attendees. As noted herein, we decided to move the 2005 Reunion to San Diego, California, with the hope of attending the Dedication Ceremony for the B-24 Memorial to be placed in Balboa Park at the Aviation Museum there.

We gladly welcome Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Glenn Rogers as our Honorary Chaplain for the 380th Bomb Group Association. He gave our Memorial Service at the Boston Reunion and had been Chaplain for the 380th Bomb Wing at Plattsburgh, New York, when we were there.

We wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and All Best Wishes for 2005. We look forward to seeing all of you at San Diego in November next.

To preserve the memory of the 380th.

Sincerely,

Theodore J. (Ted) Williams
