Don’t click on the links for the “385th BGA Alumni” shirts. It’s spam and it’s replicating. Trying to get on top of it!

We do have shirts that will be available at the reunion. Please email the aol address or PM us here. I’ll make another post….

Many thanks to Eric Gagnon for hand delivering albums and files from his father’s 385th archives! Invaluable information we don’t want to get lost to history!

We are more than willing to help scan files and photos that you may wish to keep, but would like to share with the group and preserve your airman’s legacy for generations to come! And it’s a great excuse to get together!
