Each year the Association provides a blue 2" by 3" engraved name tag
for those attending the reunion for the first time, and a blue 1/2" by
3" reunion location tag identifying the city, state and year of the
reunion. The reunion location tag is attached to the name tag. For those
attending multiple reunions the location tag is added to the name tag to show the
total number of reunions the members has attended. We have had twelve reunions
so far, so it is possible that a member could have a total of twelve location
tags on his name tag. It is apparent that the size of the name tag for some of
the members is getting out of hand.
In an effort to reduce the size of the name tag, we will provide an alternate
name tag which replaces the multiple location tags with a single 1/2" by
3" blue tag. The single tag will have provisions for the attachment of up
to eight silver stars, each star signifying attendance at a past reunion. These
tags will be made available to all members by mail or at future reunions. The
cost of the alternate name tag is $3.00 for the blue tag and $1.00 for each
silver star desired. For those ordering by mail, please identiry the number of
stars desired and add $3.00 for shipping costs.
