Meeting and Reunion News

Due to an extraordinary set of events, the Webmaster was able to have an opportunity to have a meeting with another Tulare crewmember in Sydney, Australia.  I received a guest book email from Steve Ryner in December 2002, and I sent a reply to Steve informing him I could not update the web guest  book because we would be in Sydney on vacation.  By chance Steve and Eugenia were also planning to be in Sydney at the same time.  We quickly arranged a mini-reunion.  Steve served as Personnel, and Electronics Material Officer, in Tulare from 1962 to 1964.  Ed served in "E" Division and MAA force 1965 to 1968.
