2014 Reunion update:

George and Elaine Theis recently traveled to Minneapolis to scout out the hotels that responded to the RFP. After the hotel survey was complete, George selected the Crowne Plaza at 3 Appletree Square in Bloomington, MN to be the location for next years reunion. This hotel is very close to the airport and the Mall of America. The dates are October 2nd through the 4th, 2014. Member Dennis O’Hearn (father Jeremiah R. O’Hearn 100TCS/441st TCG) lives in that location and has volunteered to scout out various museums and other activities to add to our agenda.
Thank you Dennis!
