AFKN Reunion

I've been chatting with a couple of ex-AFKN vets who would like me to reopen the question of organizing an AFKN Reunion sometime in 2014 (probably September or October).
Could you send out an email or Facebook message asking former AFKN staffers to make some suggestions as to what city (or part of the country) they would prefer such a reunion to be held? It is thought that we would have more success if we hosted the reunion in a city that is centrally located, although I don't necessarily believe that is true. We are open to suggestions.
I, for instance, live in Ohio. I know you live in Minnesota. Dave McAlary lives in northern Virginia. Gary Theiman lives in southern California. Etc., etc. Some of our associates also live in Texas (seems popular to many as a retirement favorite).
Any thoughts...care to be a part of this conspiracy?

Just Music - 1967
Peaceful music for the dinner hour? Music to keep the Colonels off our back? We ran a lot of it. During WWII we had a program called "At Ease", 15 minutes of uninterrupted orchestral music. In 1967 it was the same thing, called "Just Music".
