Does anybody know how to collect all 600+ zip codes of 585th living members in the lower 48 and then calculate the geographic center of population for reunion planning purposes?

Reunion #5 in Orlando is now history. Other than the weather up north and out west,which prevented some members from attending,#5 was a super event. This was made possible because of the many vets and wives who pitched in to ensure all bases were covered. We definitely have a winning team, which includes J.B., best bartender in the military reunion business!! I'm looking forward to a larger group showing up in Las Vegas, Reunion #6, early October 2009. DEPEND ON US, FOSSIL

Sadly,one of our most active members,Bob Straub,Boise,Idaho,585th Plt Ldr, RVN 70/71, lost his wife Hilary yesterday to cancer. Bob and Hilary attended most of our reunions. Bob is the Association member who designed our Distinguished Unit Recognition Plaque, now proudly hanging in the Engineer Regimental Room at Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri. Hilary will be greatly missed by husband Bob, family and friends and many of us who personally knew her. Members who knew Hilary may want to consider supporting the Hilary Straub Memorial Scholarship Fund at Boise State University. Call Barbara Myhre at 208-426-2925 for program information. DEPEND ON US!!!!!!!!!!

I for one had a dam good time at the last reunion in Orlando,but was somewhat disapointed that more brothers could't make it . The next one will be in Las Vegas I think but I'm getting old and don't remember too well. Well the point is save up or start walking now (gas is going up) and I hope to see you all there, many thanks to all that worked soo hard on the last one.

To all 585th Engineer Company(Vietnam) Association members!!!!!!! Your elected officers wish you and your families a Happy, Healthy Memorial Day 2008. If you haven't already done so, please get your U.S. Rep. in Congress to Co-Sponsor HR 2267 (Retroactive award of the Army Combat Action Badge to December 7, 1941).

The information for our next reunion has been posted on our web site. October 5-9 in Las Vegas I know there are people who don't gamble and don't think they will like Las Vegas.Besides the fact that we are there to reunite with our buddies there are many things to do there. The dam is a great sight seeing tour, they have some of the best entertainment in the world. It is truly a unique experience being there. Hope to see more members at this one than the others. I will be there God willing. Ed Ulip (TULIP)
