Subject OCS 58B Flower Fund Update

Dear 'mates,

The status of the flower fund is good.  Participation and contribution's are good, but not overwhelming.  We are slightly under fifty percent.  Although it may not be reasonable to attain one hundred percent participation, it is within reality to obtain very close to that goal.

I have worked closely with the designers at the supplier handling our account.  The basic design somewhat resembles the arrangement we had for Russ Ross.  We have added a blue and sliver streamer showing the words, U.S. AIR FORCE.  Additionally, another streamer in blue and gold showing the words, OFFICER CANDIDATE CLASS 58B.  Also a smaller streamer in black and sliver showing the word CLASSMATE.  We decided to display the full words - OFFICER CANDIDATE CLASS and the word CLASSMATE with the thought that the term OCS 58B may not be clearly understandable to some of the attendees.

Also, I have composed an appropriate sympathy card to accompany all arrangements.  Again, the account is a permanent account and requires only a phone call from me to initiate an immediate order to dispatch.  I also live quite close to the supplier, as do two of my daughters.  They have been fully briefed and if necessary could handle an order with total efficiency. >Remember, they are air force brats<

I do need your help in one area.  I have no means of knowing if any of you change your e-mail or snail mail addresses, if you do not inform me or Ollie, it may cause a delay and other problems should you forget to notify me of the update.  Currently, I have some e-mail and snail mail addresses that are questionable.

 I have attached another page pertaining to other information and a page listing the contributor's to date.  The last page is our balance sheet through July 31, 2000.  At the risk of being redundant, I wish to restate the tremendous support and interest all of you have expressed, either by individual e-mails or by the notes and card you have included with you contributions.

It will be a total necessity for someone to contact me in case the flower fund purpose is required.

I ask you to call me as quickly as possible and to gather as much information as possible.  I have arranged for a quick response to any call, at any time

Perhaps you may wish to enter the following phone numbers in your address books.  It is of utmost importance to fully inform your spouse and family of the existence and purpose of the fund, along with full instructions for contacting me.
