A reunion of
VP-23 personnel who served in the squadron from 1951 through 1955 (plus a few
welcome participants from later years) was conducted at the Bay Beach Inn in
Pensacola (Gulf Breeze), Florida, and by all accounts was the most successful
such event to date. This was due primarily to the efforts of the organizers;
Jack Martin, Elmer Wilcox, and Art (Koko) Koelsch. Others who contributed
were Eldon McDonald, Butch Brillhart, Jack Malone, Tony Sapuppo (Dominic’s
son), and Yr. Obt. Svt., Billy Rawl. Of course none of it would have been
possible without the attendance of about 30 squadron members and their
wives/significant others. These pages will present pictures shot by the
proprietor of this site and various others during the course of this event. |
