Greetings to all from the Upper Ohio Valley where lthink Spring has finally

sprung. if only in short spurts. In fact, yesterday (15 March), I saw robins looking

for nesting sites, and I saw my first gaggle of Canadian geese heading North.

As you will note in the TAPS column of the newsletter, we have recorded the

final passing of several of our members during the past couple of years, and we

send our prayers and condolences to their families.

We were compelled to drop five members to the lnactive list, having received

no dues payments since 2012 and no responses to our correspondence lnquiringabout their status. On the other side of the coin, we have welcomed severa I new

members to the Association, and we now count 211 Active members on our

roster.

Once again, I seek your help in keeping our roster current ---- if you know ofany member who has died or has changed addresses, please advise Bill Quintonor me so that we can maintaln a correct contact list for all of our membership.

Our reunion in Missourl is just around the corner, and I really am lookingforward to seeing many of you again. Our President and Reunion Committee

have done a great job in setting up sgme interesting activities for us, and I can'twaittotravel again. lhopeyou will consider joining us in 5t. Robert, that you wil,fill out the Registration Form in this newsletter, and that we make this one of our

best-attended reunions.

NOTE| For those of you whose membership card expired in !!lf, you willhave been delinouent in dues pavment for one vear as of the time of our reunion,and you will be subject to being moved to the lnactive List. Please review yourcard and the mailing label on your newsietter. lf it indicates 2013, you are

delinquent and should submit S15 directly to our Treasurer, Jes Mclver, or includeyour $15 with your reunion registration to bring you up-to-date for 2016.

St. Robertand Fort Leonard Wood, herewecome!!!!
