2010 Meet up for An Lac Orphans in USA

Message from: Jason Robertson who writes

I'm Jason Robertson (An Lac orphan) and met some of you at the 2000 Baltimore Reunion.  I am putting together a unique reunion for the orphans of An Lac in Columbus/Ft. Benning Georgia where Betty Tisdale airlifted us.  This April marks 35 years since that historic date for those of An Lac.  I need help in getting the word out to the fellow An Lac orphans please pass along my email and contact info on your website so that I can coordinate with them the exact dates and plans of the event.  Betty will be there etc...
Thanks Jason -  ricetogrits@aol.com
