The Carolinas Chapter held its Spring Mini-Reunion at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Spartanburg, South Carolina Friday and Saturday, April 21/22, 2023. Attendees were Rick & Patty Adams, Richard & Sheila Bolin, Carl, Joan & Lawson Dry, John Ebner & Becky Rowe, Mike May, Phil& Brenda Menendez, Brian & Diane Morrissey, Willard & Donna Robershaw, and Jerry & Judi Soslowicz.

We had two first timers in attendance: John Ebner a new member of the Carolinas chapter who served with B/1/12 Infantry in Vietnam, and Jerry Soslowicz of the Ohio chapter who served with B/1/10 Cavalry in Vietnam. Jerry and Rick Adams served together, and they haven’t seen each other since the National Reunion in Akron, Ohio.

The Carolinas Chapter will be hosting the hospitality room at the 2023 National Reunion in Jacksonville, Florida. Contact Phil Menendez and Brian Morrissey if you can help with the hospitality room duties.

In our business meeting we agreed to keep the same slate of officers for the coming year. We also approved a donation of $1,600 to the Monument Committee to cover the cost of an erosion wall that is being installed at the Manheulles, France WWI monument. The attendees all signed several get well and thinking of you cards to send to members who could not attend or are dealing with health issues. Last year the chapter decided to hold only one mini-reunion per year, in the spring, and not do a fall reunion. A committee of three, Brian Morrissey, John Ebner, and Sheila Bolin will research a site for the 2024 Spring reunion. Watch for details in the Ivy Leaves and on the website.
