Welcome to our After Action Report of the Lancer gathering at Lake Travis and San Antonio. In conjunction with the reunion of the 101st Abn Div Association a mini-reunion and party was hosted by the Ruck family at Lake Travis, TX. I wish to thank Lanny and Melissa Ruck for hosting such great event at the lake and Melissa's mother for the use of her dock and property. A grand time was had by all. In attendance at the lake and dinner on the 7th of August were:
Lanny and Melissa Ruck and their two lovely daughters
Dennis and Carol Duclos
Steve and Beth Anglin
David Haglund
Danny and Cheryl Busby
Dennis Souza
Mike Mooneyhan
Bob Stroud
Russ Balisok
Walter and Rita White and lovely daughter and niece
Ben and Connie Fisher and friend Guy
David Mussey.
