Lunch/Meeting Tuesday May 22, 2012

A group of Sampson vets met at Denny's Restaurant, in Warwick, RI on Friday August 28, 2009 for the purpose of forming a Rhode Island squadron. At a second meeting held on Tuesday October 20, 2009 it was agreed that future monthly meetings be held at this location.
The vets in attendance enjoyed the get together, exchanging stories about their experiences while at Sampson and other Air Force assignments.

Our meetings are held at Pinelli’s Cafe 701 Quaker Lane, Warwick, RI on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

We invite all vets to come and join us.

Our next lunch/meeting will be held at Pinelli’s Cafe, 701 Quaker Lane, in Warwick, RI on Tuesday May 22, 2012 at 1 PM. Directions

We had sixteen vets at the RI Squadron meeting on Tuesday, April 24. One new member, Roy Walters, who was at Sampson in March 1955, saw the notice in the Veterans column in the Providence Journal and decided to try us out.

We are planning a trip to the Air Museum in Hartford in May or June.
