• The Little Bear Association decided to hold reunions in April of every year instead of every other year,
• Branson, MO was selected by unanimous acclamation to be our permanent home base for reunions and finally,
• It was discovered that Branson, MO now has its very own brand new local airport with reasonably priced shuttle service to and from the local hotels.

That last item means that getting to Branson has just become a lot easier to do. Check out the serving air carriers, routes and rates at,

The sum total of all this good information is that the 2010 Little Bear Association reunion isn’t all that far off.  In fact, you can see from the attachments that the details are already set in stone for the reunion to be held once again at the Grand Plaza hotel from April 21, 2010 thru April 25, 2010.  All that’s left to do is get you there.  So right now would most likely be an ideal time to mark your calendars and make the commitment to join us for an unforgettably great time.  If you have been putting this reunion thing off for whatever reason, please break that habit and take the plunge to help make this new annual reunion idea a success for both you and the association.

Some of you may have missed our previous two visits to Branson.  Believe me, Branson loves all veterans from all conflicts, so if you are still awaiting your “Welcome Home” from Vietnam, I guarantee you will definitely feel welcomed home at the theaters and restaurants in Branson.  These people are the greatest in that regard.

The association has worked tirelessly to make the reunion itineraries as open and unregimented as is humanly possible to maximize the actual “reunion” aspect of the gathering and yet still provide enough optional scheduled events to give you a taste of Branson’s warm hospitality and first-rate entertainment.  The itinerary should be amenable to all budgets and tastes for this type of an event.  I think we have even improved on the quality of the planned meals too.

Bears, you really need to do this at least once.  So please take this opportunity to study the enclosures and join us for the 2010 Little Bear Association reunion.  I feel certain that you won’t regret it!  If you need more information or enticement, please drop me an email or give me a call at (254) 547-8436.
