I have been talking via email with Sara Toener of the Dayton/Montgomery County Convention and Visitors Bureau. She is urging that we select Dayton, Ohio as a reunion destination in the future. Sounds like a good idea. Hopefully we'll get some feedback on the idea.

Sara's Note:
I'm mailing you a packet with general Dayton attraction info...other attractions of interest, shopping opportunities to interest the ladies, our international airport, etc. etc. But what I'm sure you're most interested in is info on the National Museum of the USAF -- I've sent an email to Jane Leach, asking her to pop a packet in the mail to you. As you can imagine, the AF Museum will extend full honors to your group during your stay...
I'll make note to touch base with you in August, just before your September reunion, assuming that future reunions will be in discussion at that time.
Take care, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Dayton will be selected!!
Sara :)

Hello Don
I've swapped some e-mails with you before... Well I dug into my archives and came up with this "gem."
When I was stationed at Rhein Main I worked in the PAX terminal as an Air Passenger Specialist which really wasn't my 1st love! So I
started getting to know Sharon Bertschi. I believe that she was
running the PR marketing side of MWR on the base.
I use to do photography for her and she asked me to lend a hand with a "welcome video" she was putting together. I had a bit of experience with sound recording and mixing and was willing to work for FREE so, I got the job!
Now that I watch this video it is CHEESY !!!!! Oh well it was a great experience!
I hope you can (put) out this on your server for others to enjoy!
If you want any more info, I might be able to answer your questions.

(Thanks Steve for the Welcome the Rhein Main Video ... 
Windows Media Video or Quick Time Movie . It takes a few minutes to load but is well worth the wait.
