"Non-Sked Fred" Kreppein, an icon in the commercial Herc community passed away early this morning after a long fight with cancer. He was the first captain I flew with as a commercial FE.

I just saw an e mail about a reunion of the 36 TAS to be held 23-25 April. Don't know who is running it or where it is at. The list of names and e mail addresses I saw seemed to have mostly McChord folks on it. I did not see many Langley era names on it, and I don't know about Yokota. Maybe someone in the know can fill us in? Bob

As some of you know already, I am attempting to compile a data base of former 8th SOS (Combat Talon I) members and also passing on information on the upcoming reunion. Please forward to me any mailing address, phone#s, e-mail addresses and/or any other info that I might not have on record. Also, please send this to anyone you think is not on my list and should be.

901st/302nd Reunion on Saturday, September 24, 2022 in Colorado Springs at the Elks Lodge on North Neveda. All the information is on Facebook under 901st/302nd Reunion. I realize a lot of people do not use or like Facebook. Unfortunately, this is the only place for any information, and they are wanting a head count for those wanting to attend by the end of July (this month)! Point of contact is Bob Boyum. Hope to see you there!
