- More news from the
Florida reunion. In 2010, Bob Tuttle, the AWRA President for the
past 8 years, had announced that this would be his last year as leader
of the Association. At the annual membership meeting, "Stoney"
Faubus was unaminously elected to replace Bob. In addition, Peter
Copesky was elected as a Vice President, and Bob Tuttle was elected as
Treasurer, to replace Ralph Ruyle. Congratulations to the new
officers, and a huge "THANK YOU" to both Bob and Ralph for their past
service.
6 Oct 2011 - The 2011 Reunion of Members just finished at Ft Walton Beach, FL. The weather was fantastic and the venue perfect. Ralph and Libby Ruyle did a great job hosting us once again. Those 65 folks who made it to Florida had a wonderful time, seeing old friends, and making new ones. Let's hope a few hundred more join us in 2012 when we meet again in Omaha, NE. We will join the current USAF military and civilian professionals as they celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Air Force Weather. Please plan to join us there. Watch our reunion web site, http://www.awra.us/reunion.html, for details. 3 Jun 2011 - The annual newsletter hits the post office this weekend, so keep an eye out for it in your mail box. This issue features the WC-135B. We make the case that this aircraft could be crowned "Queen of the Fleet". You may have your own thoughts on this, so feel free to let me know. One apology is offered in advance. On Page 7, former 55th Commander Wilson V. (Vaughn) Palmore is misidentifed as Col Leon Grisham. I'll claim temporary brain freeze! Remember that a PDF version, with color photos, is available in the "Members Only" section. As always, send comments or questions to the Web Master at: awra038@aol.com 23 Apr 2011 - Check out the AWRA 2011 reunion web page, which has been updated to include the latest registration form. Please make your plans and send your registration to Ralph Ruyle. It's not too soone to call the hotel and make your reservation! 12 Jan 2011 - The AWRA Membership Roster has been updated. In accordance with votes taken at all recent annual membership meetings (held in conjunction with the annual reunion) the roster is available online only - except by special request. It is located in a Members Only area of the web site. The link to the Members Only area is found on the main (home) page on the right side.

- Welcome to another
great year for weather reconnaissance veterans. Hopefully
I'll do a better job in 2011 keeping folks up-to-date on what is
happening with our Association. For starters, the reunion web page has been updated with
information about the next REUNION OF MEMBERS. Ralph Ruyle has
agreed to host the gathering once again this year in Ft Walton Beach,
FL. The dates are 2 - 6 October 2011, and we will be at the
Ramada Plaza Beach Resort. Follow the REUNION link above for more
