Kentucky Reunion 1998

On October 10th and 11th 12th, 1998, The First Kentucky Reunion was Held At Billy Lewis's Home.

The Name Of The Road He Lived On Was Called The Hanging Limb Road. Go Figure.

The First Reunion was a Real Camp Out, With No Food Or Coffee!!!!! I Fixed That!

The first reunion, "Campout," was a real hoot, as you can see. This was the first time I had seen anyone of these guys since January 1969 in Vietnam.

This first one was attended by Tommy Harris, "Smiley", and James Dotson, "Top Gun."

Larry Hempfling's "The Saint", Johnny Mayes "Duckbutter" and Billy Lewis's "Ben Colder." George Thaler "Big George". Big George Left before the group picture was taken.
