I was there in Colorado Springs in 1959. Our patrol flew to New York City from Puerto Rico and we were sponsored by a troop from Orange County, New Jersey. We needed some heavy gear, I believe it was tents and cooking wares, and this troop provided us with these. We were very grateful. We then took the train in Orange County and this has been certainly one of the most memorable events of my life. Sarah González-Keelan
I was there, we went by train, it was 1959, the Air Force Academy was new and across the road. The National Guard set up the latrine tents and other large tents.
It was only held every three years and not very many. Reunion are held. Our talent was blanket toss and our cooking skill was fritters. Hawaii became a state on my birthday.

I hope my Daughter Isabella (3) can enjoy something like this, in Colorado, or even Wyoming (Yellowstone).

I also was there in '59. Sure would have liked to have attended the reunion. All 8 of my troop that attended are still alive and well.
