Fifty one old teammates enjoyed lunch at Bandana's BBQ in O'Fallon.
This was the groups first visit to Bandana's and the BBQ was enjoyed by all. Jackie Tate made her first appearance at lunch since her retirement. She has promised to be a regular so maybe other lady retirees will join us.
The usual assortment of door prizes were available. The big winners this month were Ken. Cline, Dave Gerth, Simos Ioannou, Phil Kempland, Leo Kilcullin, Harry. Meriwether, John Mohr, Tom Murray, Earl Robb, Dave Shean, and Bob Skala.
Bob Dighton expressed his thanks to the group for their generous donation to The Greater St. Louis Air and Space Museum last month. The group enjoyed the tour of the museum and evidently showed their appreciation with a nice donation. Thanks to Bob for hosting the tour.
The group doesn't meet in July and August so watch the web site for the resumption in September. Enjoy the summer and don't forget to look in on our teammates who are having medical problems.
