| I'm truly grateful for the turnout
at the past 161st reunion in Charlotte, North Carolina. If I counted correctly, I
believe there were a total of 24 former members and spouses, family and friends.
Thank you all for attending and for those who did not make it... perhaps we can meet at
the next reunion. The following people attended. Ron and Janice Crislip Allan Bernard Raymond Cusato Hi guys, I would like to tell
you that the 2000 reunion was great. I would love to see everyone pull together and try to
find more brothers to go to the 2001 reunion. You all remember how we had to trust our
fellow crewmembers with our lives. We worked as a team, each of us, the ac, pilot,
doorgunner and crewchief made the difference between life and death. Come on guys lets
find our missing brothers and have the biggest reunion yet in 2001. John I want to thank
you for keeping the 161 assault helicopter company alive. A friend always Larry Kenney
Crewchief of Pelican 64-830 I had announced in earlier correspondence that I would take a break from hosting another reunion for a couple of years. However, with this favorable turnout, I'm considering doing it again next year, again in conjunction with the VHCMA reunion, which will be in Louisville, Kentucky. Still centrally located and close enough to the eastern states where most 161st alumni are residing. In the year 2002, the VHCMA reunion will be in either Salt Lake City or San Diego. The dates for the VHCMA reunion will be June 19-23, 2001, with the 161st gathering being the Friday and Saturday of this period. If you are a 161st alumni and did not get a Reunion Mail-out, please contact me, so I can get your name and address on the mailing list. John H. Hastings (817) 923-2561 at home or (817) 252-8269 at work. The following are just some of the photos taken at the reunion.
