ReunionsREUNIONs: "...Squadron Reunion Update. Due to the current tempo of operations VP-62 will not be having a 30th Birthday Party or Reunion. It might be possible for some of the former members to try to get together and organize some form of celebration in Jacksonville. The squadron is in hangar 1000 and we could possibly open the spaces up to static aircraft display...Joseph Paul Butler jen102574@aol.com..." [22MAR2001]

UPDATE "...he VP-62 30th Birthday Reunion will not be held until sometime in April of 2001.
