Hi Brothers
Tim
Healy came up with the great idea to “poll” the alumni regarding interest,
participation and spouses attending next year’s reunion.. Spouses are invited
and encouraged to attend.
This
will also help Tim greatly in organization by keeping track of who, what, when,
etc..
These
2 polls have been posted in the AB MSB FB page:
ATTENDING
AND OPTIONAL DATES?
WILL
SPOUSES ATTEND? HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
This
is also a Beta test to validate that the system works.
Please
respond ASAP so Tim knows that it works; thanks.
Hi
Ladislao…please include in a future Circular along with information that has
been shared in previous emails with some of the related details; gracias.
Have a
safe and great week,
George

Subject: 2019 REUNION - DESCRIPTION OF GENERAL AREA
This
info was posted on FB this morning:
Map of
area for reunion and some related information:
1)
Morristown is where Tim Healy lives.
2)
Jefferson City is where the Airbnb home found by Tim is located.
3) Sevierville,
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area is about 1 hour plus away from Tim's
home...plenty of hotels, motels, cabins, etc. but on the expensive side when
compared to the per room cost at the Airbnb.
4)
Knoxville is where airport is located.
5)
"Green Areas" are part of the Smoky Mountains.
Please
let me know if you need more detailed info.

Hi Tim and Neil
We
will need to remember the 5 oldboys listed in the CC as we share specific
information related to the reunion next year on our FB page.
Will
need to email the respective info to them to keep them posted.

Sounds
like a good idea to me, as long as Neil is bringing “Doubles”.
Thanks
for getting the ball rolling Tim.

is a great idea.
I’m
sure it will work and be a success.
Christian
and I will try real hard to make it.
The
St. Petersburg reunion turned out quite well thanks to all the attendees and
especially to Neil Charles’ delicious “Doubles”.

Hi folks,
Following
up on the success of the St Petes reunion in October, Tim Healy and yours truly
are in discussion about holding the next one in the Smokey Mountains area of
Tennessee during the week of 30th June, 2019.
Please
pass this on to those who participated in Florida and to any other brothers in
your mailing list.
Thanks.
We
will call this reunion “The Rumble in the Mountains” in honor of the beloved
mountains that we climbed and surrounded us for so many years.

Ladislao:
Phone
calls to guys all over the globe is expensive and not practical. (The calls within USA are irrelevant in costs and no one from
over the globe will attend so they can be omitted. Ed)
Mount
boys have been contacted through your email list, George's (Yuri) list and Don
Mitchell's email list.
If by
now, of the one million Mount Boys out there, those who don't know by now about
the reunion, are living in a cave.
We all
know cave dwellers usually don't go out even to catch a few sun rays.
Joking
aside, we realize it's not easy for a bunch of old farts to just get on a plane
to fly long distances and also costs are rather high.
For
those living in Cubazuela (once called Venezuela), travelling is not an easy
undertaking. European living Mount folk are just too far. Those who will come
live in the USA. Maybe a few Canadians or even West Indies dwellers might make
it.
We
must remember the main reason for the reunion is to be able to spend some time
with Brother Vincent, the person we admire so much.
Those
14 guys who plan to come to the reunion have already informed us.
If we
pick up five more by October that will be perfect.
We can
expect anywhere between 15 and 20 guys to participate.
Some
will bring their wives and that would be excellent.
George,
Neil, Tony, my brother Christian and myself all believed from day one of the
idea of the reunion that if ten guys came that would be a good number.
Nevertheless,
those who can make it will have a good time bullshitting about those good old
days.

The
list (Attached) is up to 14 souls with Richard Galt being the last one to tell
us he would gladly attend.
Around
mid-September, when we have an approximate number,
I'll
put together and agenda of activities for the three days (Sunday October 14,
Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th).
Thanks
for inquiring. It would be great if you could attend as well.

Gentlemen:
In a
phone call this morning from Tony Seheult, he mentioned the possibility of
Richard Galt making it to the Mount Reunion on October 14th. That's great
news.
I've
attached the updated list.
It's
worth reminding all that wives and children are more than welcome.
Around
end of September, when we know more about the amount of people that will be
attending our "Mount Boy" reunion , I'll put together an agenda for
the Sunday (10/14) and Monday (10/15). It will be based on Marlene's and
Lionel's free time on those days.
George,
please forward to the rest of the Mount Group through Ladislao or Don M.
Thanks,
Donald G.
