2006 RMA REUNION
The Banquet
The
banquet on Saturday night allowed RMA cadets, friends and family another
opportunity for fun and revisiting their roots in the Rough Rider community.
Good food, good drink and good friends were the order of the evening. The
program part of the banquet was intentionally kept light and consisted primarily
of recognizing the individuals who had planned the reunion, drawing for doorprizes and presenting prizes for
various contests. The Master of Ceremonies was Mike Vagi '60.
SueAnn Millikan was named the Reunion Queen by acclamation.
Mr. Jim Runyon, a member of the Board of the Mercer County Historical Society was presented an award by Gary Weaver '69, on behalf of the RMA Rough Rider Association, for the work he did to establish the RMA exhibit at the Essley-Noble Museum. Without Mr. Runyon's effort, the exhibit would never have come to be.
The following prizes were awarded to attendees:
-
Beer Drinking Contest - Joe Raimond '57
-
Drill-off on "The Slab" - Joe Raimond '57
-
Best Beard - Phil Gaeta Sr. '53

Farthest Traveled by Air - Joe Raimond '57 of Pine Valley, CA

The RMA flag centerpieces were awarded to the oldest cadet at each table.

Jim and Ruthanne Burt '61 won the drawing for 2 free reunion nights at the hotel.
