In accordance with the Constitution and By-Laws of the Class, the
Corporations charter, and the call by the President in a Classwide e-mail
message sent 19 April 2006, the Annual Meeting was convened and presided over
by Class President Walter Henderson during the Class Picnic on Saturday, 6 May
2006 at the Lindholms' farm near Nokesville, VA. (Company Guidon Bearers had
been requested to inform companymates living outside the Greater Washington
Area who were not on e-mail Section Marchers were responsible for
informing those in the GWA.)
· Without objection, the
reading of the Minutes of the 2005 Annual Meeting was waived.
· The Treasurer being absent, the Secretary presented the
Treasurer's Report reflecting a balance of $22,580.02 in the Class
Administrative Fund and, without question, it was accepted by acclamation.
· Nominating Committee Chairman Max W. Noah presented the
slate of nominees for class office previously announced in the Classwide

(2006 changes in office holders underlined)
· The presiding officer called for nominations from the
floor (lawn); there being none, the nominated slate was approved by acclamation
and became effective upon adjournment.
· Chairman Albert
N. Tardiff announced that the Reunion Committee had made the decision to return
to the Woodcliff Lake Hilton for our 55th Reunion. He related that the main
factors recommending it rather than a number of other candidates were cost,
proximity, our familiarity with it and its location, and its ability to
accommodate everyone at one location. The hotel has been renovated since we
were there in 2003 and desired improvements in handicap accommodation have been
made.
There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.
Richard A. Miller
Secretary
