Hotels and Motels around Kent's Islands are filling up. Other events are taking place at the same time.

Let the organizers know if you plan to attend. Lots of information on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/...046674285&ref=mf

This Reunion has grown beyond expectations, 75 members and friends have confirmed attendance, many are legends in the beginning of Sport Parachuting in the USA.

The Pelican Skydivers Club was established in 1960 at Manassas Virginia, later moved to Ridgely Maryland. This has become a 50 year Reunion that started as a local party. Cool

And I'm excited to be going!

Interestingly, I had no desire to attend my 50th high school reunion but I can hardly wait for this Pelicanland Reunion.

I jumped in MEPA meets against Pelican Skydivers who were consistent winners. I knew most of the Pelican club members long before I became one of their pilots, flying my Cessna 182 N69BS, because of MEPA meets.

What a fun place with totally wonderful people. It'll be great to see them after all these years. I missed the Herd's last bash but won't miss this reunion!
