Reminder for
Wallybird Gathering, Golf & banquet Reno September 27-28, 2016
This is a reminder that the Eldorado
Hotel in Reno requires you to make your reservations for our Wally Bird
get-together by next Friday, September 2. Their reservation number is
800-648-5966. Make sure and reference WALLYBIRDS REUNION 2016 as well as
WALLY16 to insure the proper room rate when you make your reservation and when
checking into the hotel. We want to include anyone that has had a history
with Western. Pilots, Flight Attendants, baggage handlers, office personnel,
mechanics, passenger agents and ticket counter personnel. Please help us by
contacting anyone you know that fits the above criteria and ask them to contact
Jerry Miller at 360-678-3340 or email at eaglsnst@whidbey.net for information.
We are very fortunate in having as
our guest speaker for the Wally Bird Dinner Lt. Willie Sharp. Willie grew up in
Dinuba, California and entered the Naval Aviation Officer Candidate School
after graduating from Fresno State University in 1963. He received advanced
flight training in the F-11 Tiger and received his Navy pilot wings in 1964. He
flew the F-8 Crusader in Vietnam. During the Vietnam War Group 19 was stationed
onboard aircraft carriers USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) and USS Ticonderoga
(CVA-14). On November 18, 1965, he was shot down on a mission over North
Vietnam. He had just turned 26 years old when his aircraft was hit by enemy
fire forcing Sharp to eject from his aircraft into the Tonkin Gulf. Two North
Vietnamese fishermen aboard a sampan then captured Willie. He successfully
escaped while other US aircraft protected him during his rescue. He will
recount this heroic tale during his presentation.
We believe this is an opportunity
not to be missed.
We are encouraging as many of that
can get to Al Ehringer's "Little Waldorf Saloon" from 3:00 to 6:00 PM
September 27 to do so. The address is 1661 N. Virginia Street in Reno. Jerry is
arriving the evening of the 26th to help coordinate transportation. If you
don't have a ride to the "Saloon" get in contact with Jerry.
We have also included a copy of page
3 of the original Wally Bird Notice. Please use it and return it with the funds
to Jerry no later than September 22. His number is
360-678-3340.
If you have not made those
reservations, do it and join us. We want to see as many as possible. The more,
the better.
