Nashville - 60 Days Away and Counting!

Can you believe it? In about 60 days I’ll be leavin’ on a jet plane for Nashville and the OV-1 Mohawk Association’s 20th Annual Reunion and Reminiscing-Fest!

Chris Walker, the Association’s Reunion Director, has arranged for great activities for all us Mohawkers and our significant others. For example, if you always wanted to know how whiskey is made (and haven’t seen it on the Food Channel), we will be going to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg on Thursday the 24th of September. On Saturday, during the Business Meeting, all of our better halves and guests will be going on an historic tour of the Belle Meade Plantation and the Hermitage, General (and President) Andrew Jackson’s home.

Saturday night we will dine in fine style at our annual Banquet and hear MG Bill Page share about the history of the OV-1 Mohawk and his eight years as a Mohawk driver. I’ve been working with him on his presentation, and believe me you do not want to miss it!

We’re staying at the Sheraton Music City Hotel and the rates are very reasonable, but they will not apply much longer. I’m personally looking forward to sitting around some table and listening to more true stories of all of our adventures when we were 20+ years old, and serving our country as Mohawkers. I learn something new each time we get together!

I looked at who’s coming from the ranks of the Blackhawks and Phantomhawks, and I count only eight as of the posting of the list on July 2nd. I see Steve Hammons and Joe Beckham were about first in line, Adrian Coty and Steve Sachs will be there too. (I’m looking forward to flying with you again Steve!) Where are you Alex Berkeley, Loren Schrock and Danny Talbot! Don’t make Joe and me consume all that beer again this year!

To make it easy for you to register, here’s the link to the Association website: http://www.ov-1mohawkassociation.org/reunions.html, so there can’t be any whiney excuses like “I didn’t know how to register” or “I didn’t know how much it cost”.

Seriously though, time’s gettin’ short (not to be confused with a short-timer), so send in your registration today! I’ll see you in Nashville!
