2022 New Orleans Reunion

October 12th to 16th

A good time was had by all in the Big Easy, New Orleans, LA! We managed a small, intimate gathering after two years of COVID-19 related cancelations . Those who attended stayed in a centrally located hotel that was blocks away from the WW II Museum. It was also close to a public transportation stop that gave people access to the French Quarter. The hotel provided the Hospitality Hour each night in the spacious lobby and  Saturday was the group banquet. A note: This was the first reunion that featured no group veterans. A Further note: Seated front center is Mrs. Betty O’Driscoll, widow of Paul E., 774th, (here with her daughter Lisa Parman to her right), who has attended every group reunion held!

A sad note: reunion chariperson, and New Orleans native, Janet Moore, daughter of William Little, 772nd, passed away shortly after the New Orleans reunion. Janet was a long time reunion attendee and organizer. She was a warm and generous person who will be dearly missed by those who were fortunate to know her. Have a good final flight, Janet!
