I would like to inform those of you who were ever associated in any way with the B-66 aircraft that there is a B-66 Association. The Association was started in 1998. We held our first reunion that same year in Las Vegas. The 2nd B-66 Reunion was also held in Las Vegas, in 2000. The 3rd Reunion is scheduled for Nashville, TN, 25-27 October 2002. We currently have almost 900 on our Roster (Mailing List) and a similar number on our Lost Friends List (a list of those who we know are deceased and those we are looking for). IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE B-66 ASSOCIATION, please send your regular mailing address to me at jimmilam@aol.com as I am the keeper of the Roster. YOUR REGULAR AND E-MAIL ADDRESSES WILL BE RELEASED ONLY TO MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION. We have published two Newsletters-THE DESTROYER. We will send copies of those when we receive you regular mailing address. Hope to hear from you. 6911th Homepage
