San Francisco North Bay RUPA Luncheon 
The April Fool’s Day meeting got underway at 12:30 as always and without a single April Fool’s Day prank 
or joke. After we made our way from the lounge to the dining room and all got seated Bob called the 
meeting to order as he always does with his 30 year old clicker from the strike of 1985. 
The first order of business was a moment of silence for three more of our fellow pilots who have passed 
away. Three sympathy cards were sent around to be signed and will be sent to the spouse or family of each.
Our all-knowing Health and Welfare guru was absent today so we have no health report for April. Handouts 
were passed out which included some old magazines which were for the female flight attendants. From the 
EAA there was information about an event at Buchanan Field in Concord where they are offering for less 
than $100 rides in a Ford Trimotor. I have to do that since that is where I learned to fly in 1956. 
Not much conversation that I heard regarding the Germanwings A-320 crash. The last item was a request 
from Bob that if we have old photos or memorabilia to bring them to the meetings to share with all of us.

The RUPA Washington Area Eddie O’Donnell Luncheon 
Our April 16, 2015 luncheon was open to members and guests. The meeting was held at the Amphora 
Restaurant located in Vienna, Virginia. We had a nice talk-a-thon together before the start of the “official” 
luncheon. 
We all enjoyed a served meal consisting of a mixed salad followed by a plate of baked chicken, boiled rice 
and mixed vegetables. A nice scoop of ice cream was the desert. 
Attendees were: Jon Beckett, Hal Cockerill, Gary Cook, Linda Cook, Paul Gilson, Jerry Goebel, Betty 
Goodman, Bob Goodman, Larry Grube, Fred Keister, Clyde Luther, Claudette Luther, Dolores Miller, Ed 
Miller, Lisa Ney, Pierre Ney, Barbara O'Brien, Ward O'Brien, Catherine Reinhard, Don Reinhard, Frank 
Tetreault, Betty Williams, E.K. Williams 
A special thanks to: Gary Cook and Hal Cockerill for handling the check-in and Jerry Goebel for handling 
the drawing tickets. 
Our next scheduled luncheon will be July 16, 2015 at the same location and it will be for members only.
