Subject: ROMEO breakfast and slide presentation +++++CHANGE OF LOCATION++++++++
Date: August 21, 2015 at 16:10:49 EDT
To: "Chris Rieder" <riederc@comcast.net>
Once again it is time for our ROMEO breakfast on Tuesday, September 1st at 0930. However, for this next breakfast only, the LOCATION will be at the ROUNDABOUT DINER. The Roundabout Diner & Lounge is located at the Portsmouth Traffic Circle (formerly the Howard Johnson's at the intersection of US1 Bypass and NH Route 16, opposite the NH State Wine/Liquor Outlet).
The reason for the change in location at this next breakfast is best explained in the following email from Bob Patterson, Jr:

My name is Bob Patterson Jr., my Dad is a retired Delta Air Lines captain. He started his career in 1966 with Northeast as a co-pilot on the DC-6B. He retired in 1992 on the Boeing 727-200. I have always admired my Dad for his flying career, and have always held an appreciation for aircraft civil, and military. I have been collecting color original Kodachrome slides of Northeast and Delta aircraft from the 1950s through the early 1970s. I contacted Chris Rieder and asked him if he thought the group of retirees that meet at Hampton would enjoy viewing some of my collection and he said he thought they would. So Chris and I have arranged to have the ROMEO breakfast @ the Roundabout Diner in Portsmouth on September 1st @ 09:30. Norm Houle will be showing his slide collection as well. I hope that you would be interested in attending this event and could please send e-mails to the group to let them know this will be a special breakfast they all might want to attend. I hope we can bring back a lot of great memories for the Northeast/ Delta retirees. Thanks again for your help, Bob Patterson Jr.

The breakfast and slide show will take place in one of Roundabout Diner's meeting rooms. A server will be available to take breakfast orders so you will be able to have a great meal while enjoying Bob's and Norm's slide presentation. Or, if you prefer to arrive earlier than 0930 you can have breakfast in the diner's main dining room.
So please join us at the Roundabout Diner on September 1st for a great presentation and breakfast.
 Warm regards,
Chris Rieder

We have hotel rooms for those of you that are out of town or local and would like to stay overnight or longer at the Ravinia Crowne Plaza at a special rate of $92. This is something to consider for you rather than driving back home. You can come in early and do a little shopping at Perimeter Mall, sleep in the next morning.

The hotel has beautiful walking trails behind the hotel that is worth checking out.

History: This is the 7th year we have had a Dunwoody Delta Golden Wings Christmas party. This is the third year we have been at the Ravinia Crown Plaza in Dunwoody. We had a great turn out last year and hope to have an even bigger group of friends this year.

If you are in the Atlanta local area or if you are coming from out of town and would like to stay for a night or so, we have a really good hotel rate of $92 at the Ravinia Crowne Plaza. This rate is good for three days before the event and three days after the event.

Having a nice rate on the rooms has given us the opportunity to open the invitation to all of the Delta Golden Wings membership. Caution on the rooms: we do not have a guarantee on the number of rooms, so if you are planning on coming and would like to have a room, go ahead and reserve it. We had about 37 rooms last year used by Delta Golden Wings folks.

If you are doing some Christmas shopping, Perimeter Mall is right across the street from the hotel. MARTA (train from Dunwoody, Atlanta and the Airport) is just two blocks away and the hotel has free service to Perimeter Mall and the MARTA Dunwoody station.

 MARTA will quickly and cheaply get you to and from the airport and downtown Atlanta.

 Atlanta has sporting events, shopping, World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium (world’s largest), the new College Football Hall of Fame and many other places of interest.

 We look forward to renewing old Delta friendships! We hope to see you!

Mark your Calendars!!! September 29 & 30, 2015 at El Dorado Hotel, Reno, NV. 
I have paid the registration fee to the hotel so now all we need are
lots of Western people to meet the guarantee.  Many of you last year said
that you would "talk" it up and get your other WAL friends and flight
attendants  And agents to come because of the good time had by all.  Lets
Do IT!  Make a point to call at least 2 other pilots and/or Flight
Attendants and any Western persons.

Remember, wives, husbands, Flight attendants, Agents & significant
others are welcome. 

When making a reservation or RSVP to me PLEASE include your attendance
at Al Ehringers "Gathering", if you are playing golf, and of course the
food selection for the banquet. I need counts for all of these.

Al Ehringer has once again offered his bar, booze and hors d'oeuvres to
all on Tuesday 9/29 from 2PM to 6PM. Good friends, free food and booze.
Speaker: We have one of our own pilots who was making a record setting
flight from Reno to Fallon to Reno. When back over Reno he had a roll
problem, lookout and his  left wing  was GULP ........ MISSING! He had
to bail out over downtown Reno. Should be a great presentation.


Banquet:
The banquet will be at the Eldorado hotel on 9/30 Doors open at 5PM (no
host bar open) If you drink, you can walk to your room! (I've been told
that we actually have some WAL people who drink?) The Eldorado has given
