Michael Pavisch &
Martin DiOrio (M&M) were this years host for the A/101 Avn Hospitality Room at
Snowbird. They did an outstanding job and helped make this reunion a huge
success. Our A/101 Avn hospitality room was funded by cash
donations and the proceeds of the A/101 raffles and auction. All
the expenses were paid and a profit of $829.00 was donated to the A/101 Avn
Association. Thank you all that made this reunion a huge success.
After Action Report by Gary Lee Stamey
The 2005 Snowbird was the best/second best reunion we have ever had. In 2002
the Nashville reunion is still the best I think we ever had. This Snowbird had
more attendees than ever before. 98% of us attended the A/101 Aviation
Association Meeting and voiced our opinions. There were so many people that
prefer the Aviation bunch, that our AO was always crowded far more than any
others.
Jerry Turner had his shit together and gave us our prints.
Some of the grunts wives actually gluged so much peach shine that they danced
on the tables...until they fell off.
Hilarity, fellowship and hugging was shared by all.
Some of the guys wanted to place my long handle underwear bottoms on the
raffle list at first....then it warmed up and was nice.
Fellow A101 Folks...The Snowbird is always on the first week of February,
starting on Wednesday thru Saturday night.
This Snowbird has so many highlights that I cannot tell the story of every
wonderful time I spent with the best gang of outlaws that ever pissed under a
tail boom.
On Sunday morning, when everyone was leaving, some of us drove about 100 miles
North to my fish camp.
Bob & Kathleen Carr hauled wood to the big nightly fire.
The gals cooked and made the nights pleasant for all.
We had more A101 folks at the camp than some reunions I've attended. Lots of
you that read this message...and that kinda check your mail...Why the hell
not!
Come to a reunion either at a National or Snowbird.
There is no way that I can tell you how much it is good to hug Rich Bittle,
Marty DiOrio, Jerry Turner, Pam Jones, and on and on.
This is good for your life.
