President's Message

I am always so excited after returning from seeing the museum and this time was no exception. The nose art addition to the museum is fabulous with a grand total of 63 pieces. I enjoy visiting with the volunteers and seeing the guests tour our museum.

Jim and I spent most of our time with Tom Drugan planning this year’s museum reunion. Once again we have quite a weekend planned.

For Friday’s events, we have scheduled golf and the Mission tour once again and have added three other tours: the Tucson Botanical Gardens, the Reid Park Zoo and the AMARC tour (Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Center) or better known as the Bone Yard Tour. The hotel this year will be the Clarion and they have given us a great all inclusive price of $70.13 including tax, breakfast and two cocktails per person per night. The hotel reservations must be made by March 20th or the price increases to $150 per night and availability is not guaranteed. We will have a seated dinner at the Clarion and once again be able to visit with and honor our museum volunteers.
