Paul,

In the past the idea has been to keep the cost as low as possible for the individual at the reunion. Not everyone has the funds to fly and then stay in a facility at Branson. Yes, people do spend a lot of money to get to these reunions.

I was planning to go to Branson in the near future to find out if there was a campground where people could camp or stay in a facility near by. The physical location is excellent, in that it is a central location. Cost is a big factor that we have to look at. If you remember the cost of the Veterans program that was thrown at Branson a year or so ago, they wanted over $300 to go to the memorial services. Therefore, I chose not to go. It was too commercial, they were trying to make money off of the veterans, not honor them. Our reunions should be about the people of the 119th AHC, and those that love and honor those people.
