Arr-10.jpgThe Waldman Collection - We Arrive"Helluva deal, folks. We no sooner arrive here at the Lawton Country Club and they turn the durned power off." Jerry Orr addresses our gathering.
Our reunion had a rough start. The first night meeting at the Lawton Country Club was cancelled due to the heaving storming and tornado threats in the Lawton and Ft Sill area. The Club was kind enough to let us return the following night for another try.Jan 03, 2014

Arr-6.jpgThe Waldman Collection - We ArriveIt was nice to see the family members of our fellow veterans arrive and participate. There were several activities planned for them off post. Most of our redleg brothers trained here back in the 60s, so there was a lot of "remembrances" to be had.Jan 03, 2014

Aultman Hall was the later "twin" of Allin Hall, Bldg. 5676. These two buildings were the new Officer BOQs going back to 1965. They are now a commercially-run hotel on Ft Sill property. My, how things have changed!Arriving for the historic reunion at Ft Sill, OK.
