Hello Dwight

Good to hear from you. I will be happy to send you some posters. If you
wouldn't mind letting me know where they go so I don't duplicate efforts.
Be sure to tell the folks you give them to to put them up until the event is
over....then they can keep them. I don't want them to become collectors
items prior to the event.

Is the Aerodrome Forum still a consideration for the event this fall?

Hope all is well & see you in September.

Teresa Lacy

Teresa, If you could send some of the Posters for Dawn Patrol 2000, I would
post them around as I travel for a living and could post quite a few. If
you could send me a dozen or so , I would be happy to help out. Look
forward to seeing you again in Sept.
Thanks,

Guys, Get your favorite Country's or Ace's uniform ready as it is shaping up to be a big event. I am working on trying to get Charles Nungesser's Cousin and historian to come and show all his stuff on Charles. It would be nice if most of us showed up in a reenactors uniform. Start looking for stuff now ! Thought y'all might find this of interest.

Dwight,
We had a planning meeting at the USAM Saturday and it looks like we're
going to have a BIG event. So far about 45 planes have been committed to show
up - Including the VIMY. I don't know if you have received any posters to
spread around but Teresa has about 3,000 of them left to distribute so if you
don't have any, give her a call.
Jim Dietz even said he might show up!
Regards,
Fred

I'm goin fer sure-the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise! See ya all there, I hope.
