20 AMS Reunion, October 1999

20 AMS Reunion, October 1999 20 AMS Reunion, October 1999 Jerry Popovich, Edie & Bob Morin, Diane & Bob Abedyll, John Field, Anne & Richard Stanley, Sparky Kincaid Allen, Jim Bodley, Al & Sally Jankowiak, Ken Chesboro, Jack Omohandro, Dave Andrea, Tom Beecham, Tom & Joann Riley, Tom Blankenship, Dot & Ray Babcock.

"The reunion started small because a group of about 9 people in the 20th Avionics Maintenance Squadron (including the First Shirt and the Commander) used to be called the "Out to Lunch Bunch" - our slogan was "When the going gets tough, we sit down and eat." We searched the web - did not have your wonderful site - for a while and invited everyone we could find to John Field's house in Las Vegas. We found about one hundred and had about 45 people show up. I hope I didn't miss anyone."

"We were all in one part or another of AMS during the 1970s."
