Hello All!

In October of 2007 we had a Heavy Haulers gathering at the Colorado Belle
in Laughlin, Nevada.

It was GREAT, we had "Haulers" from over a 30 year Span. About 65 folks.

The sad thing is, we are starting to loose our co-horts. We lost Jesse Deaton
in January of this year. He was an old '37 hand and was there in Oct '07.

We are going to do it again! In the 3rd week of October of this year again
at the Colorado Belle. October 20-23, please see the HMH-463 web site
for details.

One link back from the above link you can find the pics from the '07 gathering.

We're hoping on getting a hundred attendees this year. See you there!

Semper Fi!

Mike

The need for this gathering - 2nd Biennial Laughlin

Hello all,

Here's another reason for getting together in Laughlin in October.

We lost Jesse Deaton in January.

On 30 March we lost GySgt Jimmy P. Watson.

And on April 1st we lost MSgt Duane Petree.

Take a look at the lead message in this thread and over on the 463 web-site.

Our loss rate is picking up folks.

Let's do it!

Also see the Pop-A-Smoke message concerning Duane's passing.

Semper Fidelis!

Mike

2nd Biennial Laughlin gathering

I was reminded on one of many calls around the country, that we also lost Bart Bartells in the short term.

This makes it important that the rest of us get to see each other again.

Please see the lead post in this thread.
