Compatriots and Friends:

We are looking forward eagerly to our Washington, D.C., Reunion on October 12-16th. Washington is a city of memorials and museums and a great place to visit. Our reunion is postponed one day from our usual schedule because of hotel bill consideration and the schedule for the USAF Memorial Dedication. The hotel has rooms at the higher special rate of $169.00 for those who might want to come earlier for more sight-seeing.

There’s a lot of our history in this issue, with Bill Shek’s narrative of his and his sister’s visit to the old airfields in Australia and my correspondence with Bernard Baeza of France on our Japanese opposition out of Australia.

See you in Washington.

To preserve the memory of the 380th.

            Sincerely,

            Theodore J. (Ted) Williams
