Thank You!
The Rattler/Firebird Association would like to thank those who helped make the 2006 reunion so special. The list includes the following people and we apologize if we missed anyone. Please feel free to let us know if we did. The descriptions of what these people did is necessarily brief, but the work they did was certainly not. Last, but not least, we'd like to thank all of those who attended the reunion. Without all of you there would be no point in having reunions. Thanks!
