Of course we will be getting out our May Newsletter to members on paper with the tour options and sign ups but I encourage you to register with the hotel and get your travel plans done early. Our numbers were actually up last year in Dallas due to our B-29 Fifi flights and to our facebook page, which I encourage you and yours to visit at www.facebook.com/504BG . Kaz Barcynski has been doing a great job as our historian with his research skills and answering questions from friends and family of 504th members. Please send your $15 membership fees to Tom Gaede at 14611 Sunny Grove in Houston TX 77070 if you have not already done so.

Be sure to pass this on or contact anyone you know who might like to attend our reunion and the great times we have trading stories in the War Room and on our tours. Many thanks to all who have attended and contributed to the reunions of the historic 504th Bomb Group who "Fired the Last Shot" of WWII. Jim Connally Jr.

The phone number is 703-674-0452. This beautiful hotel has shopping and many restaurants nearby. There is so much to see and do in Washington D.C. and the sur- rounding area! It’s just not possible to do it all but we have put together two effortless tours that will show you the highlights of the city, the wonderful memorials and some of the ‘must see’ items. The unique flavor of the city is like none other. The tours are optional so you can do your own exploring or just relax and visit with friends, or of course go shopping!
