| The 2026 Tracker Reunion took us to Savannah, Georgia. Our
banquet was held at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. The
museum was adjacent to our hotel. Pictured above are some of the Tracker
family in attendance. Behind the group is a restored B17 bomber, one of many
WW11 vintage airplanes on display at the museum. This year's get-together was
hosted by Debbie & Larry Cohran assisted by Marge & Tom Dodd. You did a
great job!

Tourist time in Savannah and some
Trackers visited Fort Pulaski National Monument. During the Civil War Union
Forces used experimental rifled cannons to break through the Fort's
supposedly "impenetrable" 11 foot thick brick walls. |
 |
Here is the devastating result of that rifled cannon. And the walls came
tumbling down. |
 |
At another time in history Confederate
prisoners were housed in the Fort by Union Forces. Accommodations were bleak
as witnessed by Marge Dodd as she complains to management. |
 |
Many years ago Julian Van Dyke purchased
some pavers for the Vietnam Memorial in downtown Savannah. They're in a low
area and covered with rain water, but still legible.

Back at the hotel it was time for the
Hospitality Suite. Nothing but good friendly discussion prevailed. |
 |
Here are some of the walking and seated wounded, waiting for the annual auction. |

The proceeds from the auction go towards the Tracker Scholarship fund
administered by Don Campbell and to
support the Combat Tracker Team website. |
 |
Here's successful bidder Rosalie Patrick.
She won a wooden bowl hand crafted by Bob Konarske. That's Bob on the left
making certain Rosalie is happy. |
 |
Auctioned was a basket of cheer Louisiana style
donated by Oscar Diaz. Oscar makes delivery to K.O. Mill's table. On the
wall behind Oscar is a patriotic abstract painting by Estel Matt to be
auctioned. Thank you, Estel, for your donation. |
