Dear WOA Alumnus: 

The Las Vegas 2007 Reunion is fast approaching and I do 
hope that you will soon submit your registration if you 
have not as yet done so.  I think this may be the best 
Las Reunion ever. 

A committee from World Airways headquarters in Peachtree 
City, Georgia will be at the reunion to seek ideas from 
the attendees regards the upcoming 60 Year World Airways 
Anniversity. I received the following email from committee 
member Wally Rardon on the subject:

"I don't have to remind you that 2008 is a significant year 
for WOA.  A committee is working hard to put together the 
60th Anniversary for all WOA personnel.  We are approaching 
the festivities with a current employee and retiree 
perspective, as well as "World"wide in scope.  Obviously 
this is a gargantuan task, but a lot of people are committed 
to doing everything possible, within our means and budget, 
to make it happen.

One of the things that we would like to capture along the 
way is some input from retirees as to what WOA has meant to 
them - interesting stories, memories, etc.  We would like 
to talk to as many individuals in LAS while we are there in 
hopes of accomplishing that goal.  I believe that the end 
result is creation of a DVD. We will be prepared to begin 
talking to individuals Monday midday through Tuesday in 
this regard.

One of the plans involves some 'road-show' concept including 
several World locations globally.  We would like to also ask 
our retirees if they had any memorabilia to donate on a loan 
basis for the year (2008).  We would catalogue items with a 
promise to take good care of it and return it accordingly.  
I would further add that if any retiree attending the LAS 
Reunion would bring memorabilia, we would be prepared to ship, 
if necessary, any items to headquarters.

I would ask the question for your consideration that regarding 
memorabilia, would it be possible to put out an "all hands" to 
retirees beyond the LAS attendees?

I would appreciate hearing from you gentlemen in regards to what 
we are attempting to do in LAS and beyond.  Some of our best 
resource as we span 60 years is, obviously, our retirees."

Thanks, Wally

So that is another good reason to attend the 2007 Las Vegas 
Reunion. Please provide Wally and the Anniversary Committee 
with any memorabilia you may have to assist with this very 
special time in the history of World Airways (our company).
