We met and visited the first day. Day 2 we went to Bent’s Old Fort, a major trading post on the Mexican and US border in the early 1800’s. The place was rebuilt to exact specifications. Day 3, we visited a Japanese interment camp and were given a detailed lecture on the camp. That night the Campos family had a barbecue for us. We sang happy birthday to Kathy Jorgensen and rode a limousine around Granada

Roy Tweed, who was unable to attend, sent t-shirts for us with 25^th patches on them. Kenneth Newkirk supplied us with 25^th Division baseball caps. Larry Jorgensen gave everyone 25^th Division dog tags

We had a great visit. It is always great to see each other getting a little older. The next reunion will be held in Indiana in 2010. Y’all come!
