Our reunion had a rough start. The first night meeting at the Lawton Country Club was cancelled due to the heaving storming and tornado threats in the Lawton and Ft Sill area. The Club was kind enough to let us return the following night for another try.

DY-13.jpgReunion Photos - Danny Yates124 viewsGiving it the ol' "heave-ho". During our basic training orientation of new soldiers on the record hand-grenade course on Thursday morning, the "old soldiers" were invited to try their hand at it.
