The following is a short article and picture of a get together in St. Louis on December 27, 2010 from Mark Landwehr. I thought it gets to the point of what all of this is about and wanted to share with everyone.
ZXAA encourages others to gather in similar groups around the country and share with ZXAA the experience. ZXAA will assist in running a directory listing of alumni in your area , provide postcard invitations, and pay for postage. ZX is a special group and we need to stay together. “Together we can achieve great things”.
From Mark Landwehr:
We started the Christmas luncheon 3 years ago when Curt Boggs suggested a few of us get together. There were 5 guys the first time, 7 the second and 10 the third.. Each time someone new shows, they love it and name a few other guys we need to get a hold of for next year.. In each case, if a brother attends who hasn’t seen another brother for perhaps 40 years or so, they are amazed that within a minute or two, they’re up to speed and laughing about things they remember a lifetime ago… I’m struck by how fortunate everyone feels…and everyone has tales to tell of a life well lived….. But there is something that the fruits of our career labor can’t buy……and that’s the memories we shared in our youth.. For a group of old geezers who all have trouble remembering things, we recall every detail of meaningful moments in the late 60’s and early 70’s.
From Left to Right, the names of those in attendance are: Mike Shank, Curt Boggs, Mark Landwehr, Doug Murray, Mike Bolinger, Wayne Richert, John Reuss, Steve Holloway, Dennis Babbit and Tom Dickey.
