Fellow IP's, Former Students, & Relatives,
Regrettably, our ad hoc Reunion Committee has decided to cancel our 3389th PTS Reunion scheduled for October 20th thru 23rd, 2020. There are several factors that brought us to this decision. The first and primary reason...COVID-19 and the uncertainty it poses for our collective future for the remainder of the year and likely into 2021. None of us felt comfortable trying to hold a reunion that undoubtedly would involve close contact, some commercial travel, and staying in and eating at various locations with varying degrees of COVID-19 protection during this ongoing health crisis.
Further, our host hotel, the El Tropicana Riverwalk Hotel, informed us they intend to remain closed until the entire hotel's renovations are fully complete, which will be beyond our scheduled arrival this coming October. El Tropicana offered us the option to relocate our reunion headquarters to their "sister" hotel. However, we believe that hotel would be a downgrade in amenities and much further away from the San Antonio "Riverwalk," one of the prime attractions for us to enjoy during the reunion. Essentially, that coupled with the aforementioned health concerns means the decision is easy. It's "No Go."
However, all may not be lost lost because we can hold our reunion at approximately the same time the following year (October 2021); that is unless we learn otherwise from a survey of our membership. If we proceed for 2021, we will be at the fully renovated El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio at the same rate enjoying the same amenities. Please be thinking about whether or not you would come if we held the reunion at that time.
On or about June 15th, I will send you another email with a short survey to determine the interest you may have about continuing with our reunion as planned, but in October 2021. It will be a simple "Yes" or "No." Please think it over during the interim weeks and when the survey arrives, take a moment to respond with your answer. This isn't a commitment, but rather how you think you feel about coming if the current COVID-19 concerns are under control. Your responses will help Bill, the committee and I know whether there is sufficient interest in a reunion at that time (October 2021) and therefore give us guidance as to whether we should proceed or not.
Sorry for the bad news re our reunion this year, however it's best to stay as safe as we can and look to the future. Thank you to each of you who continually support our reunions through your attendance as well as your kind thoughts to our entire reunion committee. Much appreciated.
Take care...stay healthy...
Major and Bill
