Past President: TRADEVMAN (TD) Association

Currrently Historian of the Association

I  STARTED HOLDING REGIONAL REUNIONS BACK IN THE 60"S. NORFOLK,
SAN DIEGO, JAX, PENSACOLA AND ORLANDO WERE SOME OF THE SITES AND
THEY WERE USUALLY MOSTLY STAG EVENTS ATTENDED BY ACTIVE DUTY
 FROM BASES AS FAR AWAY AS 500 MILES. IN THE 80'S AFTER I RETIRED
SMALL REUNIONS WERE HELD IN ORLANDO (WHERE I WORKED FOR THE TD CENTER)
TIMEFRAME WAS DURING I/ITSEC (THE WORLD-WIDE TRAINING DEVICE EXPOSITION).
I WAS ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THE ASSOCIATION NATIONAL AND HAD THE HELP
OF A FEW GETTING THINGS STARTED. THE SECOND NATIONAL REUNION HELD
IN ORLANDO WAS ATTENDED BY MOSTLY RETIRED FOLKS AND
THEIR SPOUSES. WE HAD 360 SHOW UP.
