TRICK 2 REUNION Roy Baum
We attended our Trick 2 mini-reunion Last Fri - Sat - Sun (Jan 14-17)  in The Villages, Florida. We had 18-guys and spouses attend,and we had a wonderful time. Five of the guys I had not seen since I left Chitose in May 1964. It is amazing how you can not see someone for 46 years, and feel like you saw them last week. I am going to write an article for the next Chitose News, and get it to you along with a group picture of the guys attending. Roy Gettz & Punchy made an appearance for a couple of hours. They only live 2-hours drive from the Villages. They brought some issues of the last newsletter and also some logoed stuff, if any of the guys wanted to buy anything. Unfortunately, they came in the afternoon on Saturday when most everyone was out and about. Pat & I returned just before they left, so I got to visit with them briefly. I want to mention that I have started another newsletter specifically for this group called “TRICK 2 TALK.”

and Second Baseman Mel Robinson reunite in Orange Beach AL after 47 years.
They are planning to do this on an annual basis. Any help in locating former members
