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.
Jerry, Gary, Mel
