From Wayne Norrad; First, I'd like to share some comments made by two of our special guests. General Cassidy writes and I quote. "Each of the reunions is better; number six was best of all! Rosalie and I thank you and the members of the association for our red shirts, which we have already worn. But more than that, thanks for including us and giving me a little time at the mike. It was a great evening, and we enjoyed being with the world's best." Our distinguished guest speaker, Mr. J. Michael Kelly comments. "I had a great time at the CCT Reunion. You're a great bunch of guys. I hope you'll ask me back sometime. If your bylaws permit associate members, I'd appreciate it if you'd send me an application. I'd be proud to be a member of the CCA." Statements like these make me proud to be a Combat Controller and association member. Your professionalism draws these comments and I hope you share the feeling.

The reunion committee project officers deserve a pat on the back for organizing and directing the activities. Those people were: CMSgt (Ret) Gene Adcock--Brochure Reproduction and Advertisements, Captain John Koren--Golf Tournament, SMSgt Al Hooper--Reservations and Dues Collection, SMSgt Bob Blowers--Welcoming Breakfast & Volunteer Workers, SMSgt Tony Urenda--Protocol & Transportation, MSgt Steve Horvath--Lee Everson Award, Mrs. Barbara Buck & Mrs. Kathy Blowers--Ladies Social, Golf Tournament Refreshments--Mrs. Judy Karr, and Ms. Sally Pender--CCT Sound-on-Slide Presentation. Excellent job--THANKS! And to all the volunteer workers--URAAH!

Congratulations to the CCT VOLANT RODEO winners from the 1723 003, Hurlburt Field, Florida. Team members were TSgt Randy Carmichael, SSgt Pete Neal, Sgt Dave Holcomb, and A1C Dave Sulak. A special congratulation to Sgt Dave Holcomb the "Lee Everson Memorial Award" winner!

Thanks for coming. We hope you had a great time! Let's plan to do it again in 1987. Until then ……… Best Wishes!

However, nobody beats "Ruckman" Dave Holcomb as he sets a new record for others to strive and overcome .......... 42 minutes and 16 seconds!  Dave was also presented the "Lee Everson Memorial Trophy".  If you can slow Dave down, tell him hi for me!
