[=Blue]All 363 Squadron Members, All Years 1952 to Present:

This is a friendly reminder that we would like to invite all former and present 363 squadron members to join us at the reunion at the Handlery Hotel in San Diego for August 27, 28, 29 2009.

There are rooms reserved at an attractive price of $99 per night plus tax, not bad for the San Diego area. Call the Handlery Hotel at either 800-676-6567 or 619-298-0511 or online at www.handlery.com and tell the preservationists you are with the HMM-363 Reunion. We also have a hospitality room next to the pool – let’s tell that war story one more time. Remember the first liar doesn’t have a chance!

The hotel is located close to many attractions including Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the Plaza del Pasado in Historic Old Town, and across the street is the Westfield Fashion Valley Shopping Center. Sorry guys, but the women just might want to get away from us for a bit. We are also close to the Miramar MCAS and it’s been suggest that we visit the Aircraft Museum, the active duty MARINES and their aircraft.

Please call us after you have made your reservations so we know how many are coming. Let us know if you need assistance attending the reunion. Hope to see everyone there.
