2016 REUNION NEWS
November,2015
Greetings Top Tigers,
IT IS TIME TO GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO JOINING
YOUR FELLOW TOP TIGERS AT OUR NEXT REUNION!!!!
We are only nine months away from our next reunion in Boise, Idaho. Just as a reminder the dates are August 18,
2016 to August 21, 2016. These dates are
a month earlier than in the past, but we believe they will work out extremely
well.
Normal temperatures in Boise in
August are quite comfortable and we will be there before the college students
begin to arrive for the fall semester.
Our reunion hotel will be the Riverside Hotel, located at 2900 Chinden Blvd. on the Boise River Greenbelt which offers
biking, jogging, or walking along the river.
The area offers numerous other activities.
Take a moment to visit the hotel’s website: www.riversideboise.com and see what the hotel has to offer. The nightly room rate is $98.00 plus
tax.
There is an on-site restaurant
offering three meals a day, plus a sports bar serving drinks and appetizers.
The hotel is located just 10 miles from the Boise airport and offers
free shuttle to and from the airport.
The hotel also has free on-site parking.
We will have a meeting room for our hospitality suite and will be able
to furnish our own beverages. The
Saturday banquet will be on site in the hotel’s ballroom.
The reunion committee is looking at the possibility of one organized
off-site event to the Warhawk Air Museum, which is
located 15 miles west of Boise. The
museum has one of the original gunships from the 68th on
display.
Besides touring the museum we
are giving some thought to ending the tour with a barbecue lunch. As always, your time at the reunion, it just
that, your time, spend it however you want.
You can spend all your time visiting with
your fellow Tigers, or join them for some local sightseeing. The idea is to have a good time, no matter
how you do it.
