Note these are the final firmed-up dates. Details are still in planning, but these tentatively are the activities being planned:

Thursday night, a visit to the Branson Titanic Museum. From www.BransonTitanic.com: Today the great Titanic lives on. A towering symbol of hope and courage recreated in all its glorious splendor in Branson. Here guests will relive the last hours of that fateful voyage. Make haunting emotional connections to passengers and crew through their words and stories...

Friday, a riverboat trip and dinner on the Showboat Branson Belle on Table Top Lake. See www.ShowboatBransonBelle.com for more information.

Saturday, daytime events are still being planned, followed by the annual banquet dinner, to be held at the hotel with Titanic period-attired guests.

The reunion will be held at the Branson Radisson Hotel and a large block of rooms has been set aside for the group—but rate information is not yet available. However, you can make reservations by calling the hotel directly at (417) 335-5767 and indicate you are with the reunion.

Don Redding, the association 2007-2008 president, says “Branson is a beautiful and amazingly hospitable town, especially for veterans, with lots of family entertainment and activities. Be sure to bring your kids! See you in Branson this September!”
