Email from Bobski - Pat P
TO: Pat M. & Pat P., Dick Stultz (we need a logo!),
Great news, we have just signed a hotel contract with the
Radisson Suites, Tucson AZ for our 2019 F-106 All Troops Reunion! April 3 - 7, 2019. We got a phenomenal rate of $93 per night! Every room is a suite! Excellent facilities! Hotel website: www.radisson.com/tucson-hotel-az-85710/aztucsrd
Please announce in BIG HEADLINES on the F-106 website! Dave and I are now putting together the itinerary for the weeks tours and activities.
Venues of interest:
Pima County Air Museum
Davis Monthan Boneyard! (we already have inside help there!)
Desert Museum
The Gaslight Theatre
Old Tucson
Tanque Verde Ranch (Chuck wagon dinner!)

Amazing restaurants
STAY TUNED!
Bob Kwiecinski (Bobski) & Dave Stiteler
Co-Chairs
From Pat P: This is just for the F-106 Forum for now. When we get a Logo and brochure and registration instructions for the special rate, we will post them on the Main F-106 website and FaceBook. The Old Sarge is thinking up a set of clocks for the event. Dick Stultz is working on some art work for the 2019 Reunion patch/decal. If you guys have some ideas to share, post them here. I'd like to see a separate Dick Stultz caricature drawing of an F-106 "sweating" in the desert at Pima or AMARG at DMAFB.
We owe Bobski and Dave Stiteler a lot for doing all the work to put together these F-106 Reunion extravaganzas every two years. This will be the fourth National F-106 Reunion which is a perfect location for all our Sixers on the west coast and those in the mid central and northeast who had to endure a very hard 2018 winter and will be looking for a warmer place to visit in April 2019.

I will be bringing my camper to Washington. I'm going to stay in the Thousand Trails campground just east of Chehalis. I should be there by 10 June. Maybe I can make a trip up to see you. I am wanting to go to Canada, probably travel up to Port Angeles. DIANES Son and his wife are going to visit her Aunt living in Friday Harbor. Might be the shortest way for him to get there. Let me know where we can meet up. MArv |

Q and A From Bobski - Pat P.
On Jun 7, 2018, at 8:11 AM, James Arnold <jsarnie@itv-3.com> wrote:
Hello Bob,
My wife and I are planning to attend Tuscon reunion next April. I have printed out all of the venue information. We are signing up for all events and will send info and payment the end of this month. If for some reason an attendee should have to cancel, what are the details if that were to be the case?
Arnie
Hi Arnie,
Good question. In general we can refund:
- Hotel, 24 hrs before first night, that is purely a hotel policy as you deal directly with them for your hotel part.
- Your tour money 30 days before the tours. However, if we can find someone to take your place up to the day before the tour, we can refund all of it. The Bus places require us to pay 30 days ahead.
- Meet & Greet and Banquet, 7 days before, unless we find someone to take your place.
- Registration fee, we’d appreciate our reunion association keeping that as a donation and we would send you one patch.
How’s that? Thanks for the questions as I know many others have the same and I will send that info out to everyone.
Sent from my iPhone,
Bobski

Messages from Bobski on FINAL Tucson Reunion logo - Pat P.  Dear F-106 Troops, A big Thank You to Dick Stultz, who has once again designed and donated our 2019 reunion logo and patch. Isn't it beautiful! Each registered Veteran will receive a patch either at the reunion, or have purchased one if not attending. Please respect Dick’s Logo Copyright. We may use it strictly for any of our F-106 related articles. It depicts the essence of our 2019 reunion: • “The Sunset of Our Lives” (for each one of us and the “Six”) • The front two Sixes are “plain gray,” as it is fading from our memories and represents all squadrons. • A “Ghost Six,” representing how it has disappeared from our lives. • A Saguaro cactus, representing the Tucson area site for the 2019 reunion. • The “Boneyard of Sixes” on the bottom. Also, here are the guidelines for reunion refunds: Reunion Refund Information Policy: • Hotel: 24 hrs before first night. That is purely a hotel policy as you deal directly with them for your hotel part. • Tour money: 30 days before the tours. However, if we can find someone to take your place up to the day before the tour, we can refund all of it. The Bus companies require us to pay in full 30 days ahead. • Meet & Greet and Banquet: 7 days before, unless we find someone to take your place. • Registration Fee: we’d appreciate our reunion association keeping that as a donation and we would send you one patch for the veteran. Sincerely, Bobski |

Message from Bobski and Ross Shulmister - Pat P. From: mross849@hotmail.com To: bobski9933@aol.com, jer.san@cox.net Sent: 6/11/2018 9:41:04 AM Eastern Standard Time Subject: F-106 - Sandy Stymiest obituary Alexander “Sandy” Stymiest, 86, died May 13, 2018 at EMMC after a brief illness (sepsis from an unknown cause). He graduated from Brewer Schools and the University of Omaha. At 16 he joined the Air National Guard and at 22 he had the opportunity to go through Flight School. His life’s dream! After graduating from pilot training in 1954, he was back in the Maine Air Guard, married Beulah “Bea” Ackley and had two children. During the Cuban Crisis, he went into the USAF. He was operational in six different jet fighters – F84, F94, F89, F100, F4 and the F106, his favorite. His love of flying was well known. He flew 204 missions in Vietnam, including the Tet Offensive. After Vietnam, he was assigned to the 27th FIS at Loring, Maine, in January 1969. He stayed with the 27th until it was deactivated in 1972. He retired to Brewer, Maine, with 32 years of service. He was a carpenter and built his house and camp and helped his friends with their projects. He and Bea lived there until his death. Bea plans to remain in the family home. Sandy loved life – his times with family at Branch Lake, ski trips, Disney and Hawaii with grandchildren. He was a sportsman – fishing with his father and brother and bird hunting with his friend Bruce and pals. He enjoyed his morning coffee with his McDonald's crowd. Sandy was a member of the Ralph J. Pollard Masonic Lodge #217 A.F. & A.M. of Orrington. In addition to Bea, Sandy is survived by his daughter Ann and her husband Donn, his son Jim, four grandchildren (Brian, Chris, Kyle and Kelly), niece Leigh, and nephews Scott and Adam. He was predeceased by his father William Stymiest, his mother Etta Stymiest, and his brother Arthur Stymiest. You can email Bea at SanBea71@RoadRunner.com, or write her at 71 Broadlawn Lane, Brewer, ME 04412.   |
