Previous Reunion Annual Reports

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 2008 SORFAR Reunion in St Augustine, FL was a success!!  The 2009 Location will be in the UNICOI  State Park near the Helen, GA area, dates and information are below. Pictures for 2008 have been posted.   

Hello everyone, Dale did a great job in preparing the 2008 pictures from St Augustine.   All the St Augustine Pictures have been posted and all except a few have been captioned, we could use some help in identifying any without caption or error in captions. Hope you have time to explore. most all the picture are posted with enough pixels to allow them to be blown up a considerable amount. Just double click (or select if you use a different method) and copy to get the results that will allow maximum enlargement. Take note the information for the 2009 reunion and attraction around Helen, GA are below and the annual report information has been moved. Link to annual report info is in upper right under the Support Our Troops and in the lower left under the links to earlier reunions. Have a great summer..
