Nashville Reunion 2002
The next reunion will be in Nashville, TN
10-13 October 2002.
Registration will start Thursday
afternoon 10 October, with the first reunion activity being a
reception in the hotel that evening at 6pm. The last official
activity will be the Memorial Breakfast, Sunday 13 October.
(Board of Directors are asked to be there for a Board meeting
9am Thursday.)
The reunion hotel will be the DoubleTree Hotel
in
downtown Nashville.
Charlie Trost, Bob Mackintosh
,
and their spouses, Annie and Lois, made a site visit to several
of the Nashville Hotels and selected the DoubleTree for our
group. It had the best combination of location, accommoda-
tions, and price of the hotels we visited in June
The DoubleTree room rate will be $82 per night, plus tax.
This rate will be available to our group from
9-13 October 2002. The hotel will accept reservations after
1 November 2001. The central reservation number is
1-800-222-8733
; or you may call the DoubleTree Hotel
Nashville at 615-244-8200. The
group rate
is available
under the name

You will not be able to see all of the attractions in
Nashville during our reunion, so you may want to come early,
or stay late to take them in. We will furnish details of the
attractions available in the January 2002 newsletter. With
these details we will also be asking for you to send in your
registration fee (to be determined), so that we will have a good
estimate of the number planning to attend.
Put this on your calendar now and start contacting your
buddies so that we can make this another great reunion. It
should be a beautiful time of year in Nashville.
Fa. Bill O’Brien
called on 4 September to make sure he
knew the dates of the Nashville reunion. He did not want to
book any weddings on that weekend. It would be great if all
of us would commit now to be in Nashville 10-13 October
next year.
