To all of you I served with, and all those I met merely in passing - Thank you for some of the most memorable years of my life. I discovered my calling, met my wife to be, and drank more than my share! To all MSGs from the above Posts, feel free to drop a line at any time.

I have a group picture of the MSG graduating class of March, 1981. This is the class which received The Hostages when they were released from Tehran. I went to MSG School along with my Assistant Gunner, Michael Killman, who was from New York. I was the Gunner/Squad Leader of the 1st Squad, (60mm) Mortar Section, 'B' Company, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. Mike spent his entire tour at a Mission in Cuba, I think probably Havana. Both of us rotated back to Battalion HQ in Quantico at the same time. Both of us had been promoted to Sergent at least 3 years before our Primary MOS, 0341, would have allowed. John Musun (or Munson) also graduated with me in this class. His first tour was in Warsaw, I think. He rotated to Berlin shortly before I, and rotated back to Quantico shortly before I as well. How do I get you all a copy of this picture? Gerald Henthorn jerryhenth@hotmail.com

2011 MEGA BOARD OF DIRECTOR ELECTIONS The election for MEGA Board Members will be coming up during our next reunion in San Diego. The Board is composed of nine members who serve three-year terms with three terms up for election each year. A Chairman and Vice-Chairman are elected from within the Board, each serving a one-year term. Serving on the Board are also the Secretary and Treasurer, both of whom serve three year terms. Additionally, the Board has an appointed Legal Officer. The current Secretary serves until 2012; and the current Treasurer serves until 2013. Three positions for seats on the Board of Directors will be open in 2011. An ideal board is composed of experienced board members who possess the knowledge and culture of what has taken place in the past and new members who can bring innovative and fresh ideas and suggestions to a board. If you are interested in running for the board, it is suggested you read the Election Process Rules. Of particular interest will be Section IV, Eligibility of Candidates and Voters, Section V, Declaration of Candidacy, and Section VI, Campaign Literature. The rules can be found on the MEGA website, in the Member’s Area. The link for the document is “Voting Information”. Any interested member in good standing who wishes to stand for the Board should submit a biographical sketch of 125 words or less by March 7, 2011. It is not required (but recommended) that you also submit a photo. Send to Virgil Johnson, Chairperson, Election Committee, at 22 Constitution Blvd., Berlin, NJ 08009-1352 or at vjohnson@eticomm.net.
