LACB33
LACB33 was an amazing success. We had eighty drivers and guests attending! The format was scaled down to a one-day reunion and it worked. Attendees had a great time gathering at the beautiful Bali Hai in San Diego renewing cherished friendships.
Photos are finally posted, so check them out by clicking on the link in the right hand column.
Thanks to everyone who came and to those who made financial contributions. A special thanks to the LACB Committee for all of their hard work and to Mary Evert for making the table center pieces.

Support the Crusader Association
The Crusader Association does not charge dues and therefore has no regular income. However, the Association does have expenses. It guarantees contracts associated with LACB’s, hosts the web site, keeps a lawyer on a modest retainer, buys supplies and has other administrative expenses. We would appreciate your help in keeping the Association solvent.
If you enjoy the GatorGrams, web site information, attending LACBs and viewing photos of others who attended, please consider making a donation to the Association. Simply click on the "Donate" button below and you will be taken to the PayPal website where you can make a donation using either your PayPal account or credit card. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Donations are also a wonderful way to remember and honor a deceased squadron mate. The Association will send a letter to the family of the deceased informing them of your donation made in his name.
If you itemize on your tax return, let us know and we will provide a receipt acknowleging your contributions. (We are registered with the IRS as a non-profit.)
