UPDATE "...I attended VP-16's October 2002 Reunion (1955-1965+) in Orange Park, FL. It took place mainly, due to the efforts of Ann & Jud Lord. Others also worked hard at making it a success. There was, in addition to many other events, a tour of the NAS Jacksonville, Florida, and a tour of VP-30. Also there was a memorabilia suite that had a great selection of photos and duty roosters, etc. If your squadron hasn't had a Reunion ever or in some time it may be a lot of fun to get together and see those old friends!...Ken Wilhelm caraken@bellsouth.com..."
