July 7, 1936. "OLD GANG OF CO. E. 168TH INF. PLANS "LAST MAN" CLUB. Ex-Service Men Invited For Meeting Sunday, July 12, at Legion Rooms In Armory, 1:00 p.m.".-- The Old Gang of Company E--168th Inf. who served together during the World War want a "Get-To-Gather". Sixty letters have been sent out by the temporary chairman and secretary, Everett Briggs and Chas. Burdick, setting the date for the event Sunday, July 12; and the place, Legion Room of the Armory; time, 1:00 p.m. An Old Company E club will be formed looking toward a last man's club. The average age of ex-service men is now 42 years. In time to come such an oraganization will mean a conradeship every one will want. Men are now scattered over the United States. No one knows the addresses. Even when the boys returned from overseas they represented 37 states. So everyone is asked to call or write the temporary officers, giving them any addresses of the Old Gang which are available. This is the resposibility of each man in the vicinity. The date of this meeting is set to precede the Rainbow Reunion in Kansas City. There a report of this meeting can be made. Men not seen in years will be present, among them Capt. Clyde Doolittle and Harper Anderson. It is suggested that families be brought and picnics arranged in the city's beautiful parks.
