The Grunge is just back from a reunion – I had an unbelievable time. \u00a0And I almost didn’t go…<\/p>\n

My Alma Mater – The Air Force Fighter Community
\nMy fraternity – The 492 Tactical Fighter Squadron (The BOLARS)
\nMy class – we’ll I don’t have much…<\/p>\n

It was a long way…San Antonio, TX. \u00a0But friends came from Montana, Colorado, Georgia, Virginia, DC, New Mexico, Tennessee, Washington, Kentucky, and Kansas among others. \u00a0And I almost didn’t go…<\/p>\n

We told stories, caught up with some after over 20 years, relished what this group did for the United States and for each other, and saluted those still very much in our thoughts who paid the ultimate sacrifice. \u00a0The long hours and times away from home in those days melted away. \u00a0We were back!<\/p>\n

"Hooter" telling a story - "Grunge" is cringing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Story time was amazing…and scary. \u00a0There are a few stories about the Grunge that never need to be told. \u00a0A couple were – several were left for another day. \u00a0And I almost didn’t go…<\/p>\n

So, what does this have to do with Wabash College?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a Big Bash just around the corner. \u00a0It might be the 2011 version…it might be 2012 or 2013. \u00a0It doesn’t matter – <\/span>BE THERE! <\/span><\/strong> Just like no one talked about rank or bomb scores at our reunion, no one will talk GPA or bucks in the bank at the Bash. \u00a0You’ll celebrate your Alma Mater and your class and your fraternity just like we did.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And you won’t have to say…and I didn’t go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
