Currently there is not an itinerary for the Branson, MO reunion except for the dates. It will be at least the 1st of January before we can get a price on the meals. It may even be after that when we find out about the Dinner Cruise on the Branson Belle. As soon as Carol and I can get that information, I will let everyone know.

Another of our “Little Brothers” has earned his Eagle Scout Status. Jack Mc Kibbens, grandson of David and Ginny Blouin, has joined our other “Little Brother” Rafer Springfield with obtaining this Honor. This is a great achievement.
Another great moment came when Johnathon M. Bieneman, our youngest Charlie Trooper, arrived on November 11th.

Momma B said she cannot wait to bring him to our next reunion.
This is the month that we celebrate the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. One of the things we can do to honor him is to give to others. Look around your neighborhood and see if there isn’t someone who could use some help.
Now an update on Scotty. I just talked to Don and Scotty is doing pretty good. He will be staying in the hospital for Speech and Physical Therapy. His speech is a lot better. Carol and I got to talk to him today for a few minutes.
God Bless each and Everyone of You. Stay safe, Be Jolly.
