2006 REUNION

reunion home page

The fifth reunion of the Flying Circus was held at the end of October in Orlando, Florida. Bob Potvin and Cleveland Grant organised accommodation at the Shades of Green, which is a military hotel on the Disney property. One of the other Brigades of the 1st Cav was also holding a reunion there the same weekend. The hotel itself was very pleasant, and it can be said without contradiction that nobody went hungry at the Saturday evening meal.

While the number attending was slightly down on the last two gatherings, everyone appeared to have a great time. There were a lot of things to choose from to do in the area, and groups headed off to various locations during the day. People gathered together again in the evenings and for breakfast to discuss their exploits. Plans were very enthusiastically discussed for the 2008 reunion.
