Expect Record Turnout In Detroit
Last Call For 3 Day Pass all we need is you
21st Helical Reunion
The Statler Hilton
1565 Washington Blvd.
Detroit, Mich. 48231
Just as 25 years ago, a 3
day pass means fun and ex-
citement. A respite from bore-
dom, routine and weekend
duties.
Just as 25 years ago, when
you went to Clarksville, Nash-
ville, Abilene or Port Worth
you will have that same feel-
ing of anticipation.
You will find you even feel
25 years younger. Your first
breakfast, you'll find yourself
ordering "Poops on the
Shingle". You'll be getting
your sleep during the 10
Important Due Notice
Our dues of $3.00 per year has
not been increased in over 12
years. The rising costs of printing
and mailing over these years has
been absorbed by a profit in our
reunions and increased member-
ship.
With the rising cost of reunions,
chiefly bus rentals for tours and
entertainment, the executive coun-
cil voted to leave the Reunion Re-
gistration Fee at $5.00 and in-
crease yearly dues to $4.00. This
would make each function self-
sufficient.
The increase in dues would also
give us an opportunity to give the
membership that little something
extra. This year the roster-direct-
ory and we hope next year, a
color picture of the Division and
unit insignias.
Editor's Note: The $5.00 Re-
union Registration Fee is for the
member only. There is no charge
for his family.
minute breaks. Your Comm-
anding Officer will look at
you with a new respect when
stories are told of your bra-
very and heroism . . . and she
may even believe them.
Don't find yourself sitting
at home the weekend of Aug.
3, 4 & 5 thinking about the
Hellcat in Detroit . . . BE
THERE.
We've increased our hotel
reservations to 400 rooms be-
cause we're expecting you.

A Growing Family
Remembering the wonderful
time we had at Louisville, Eileen
and 1 have been making plans all
year for Detroit. Our HELLCAT
FRATERNITY must be a warm
wonderful organization when the
wife is as enthused about going as
the husband.
We're living and enjoying life,
here in New England. 1 work in
Boston, managing the Boston Off-
ice of Saphier, Lerner & Schindl-
er. I'm an industrial designer.
Worked on the Air Force Acad-
emy and remembering all the
trouble we had with air force per-
sonnel, I got even for the 12th. I
placed the mess hall at the farthest
end of the academy.
Our three boys, Peter, 16,
Christopher, 13, and Brian, II,
I believe are normal and if it
wasn't for the TV and refrigerator
they would be out swimming and
boating from morning to night
Brian the youngest wants to be
a veterinarian, and we have a
brown poodle and jet black kitten
as living proof of his talent.
Will see you in Detroit.
