The Crystal Gateway Marriott is a five star + hotel within site of the Ronald Reagan Airport (Formerly the National Airport), the Pentagon Washington Monument, the Capital and the White House. They have reserved a huge block of rooms for our reunion at a reasonable price considering the close proximity to Down Town Washington. The accommodations for our hospitality and banquet rooms are huge and more than adequate for our needs. Driving instructions from all directions are herewith. . For those planning to drive to Washington the hotel has reduced to parking fee of $19.00 per/day to just $5.00 per/day. We are planning ample refreshments and snacks in the Hospitality Room at all times.

We urge all who are planning to attend this once in a lifetime reunion to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. The limited block of rooms could be reserved rather quickly - - so please reserve early, if unexpected plans arise it is easier to cancel later.

This year will again be a little different than past years. Our visitations to the many sites are cost free with the exception of the buses required to take us to the many attractions - - Walking will be held to a minimum. In fact there are so many sites to visit that it would be impossible to visit them all. It may be possible for some buses to go one place and others elsewhere - - making a selection to one’s own desires. The cost for the daily bus per person will be the same regardless of where it is going. On each day Thursday, Friday and Saturday the scheduling will be for lunch on your own or not as personal choice.
