As I write this column many of you are preparing for your  trip to Hershey after a two year hiatus. If it is like anything  else I have attended that was cancelled last year due to Covid  it will be better than before mainly because we are so happy  to see our old friends. I don’t go to Hershey often because it is  so far, but I am  planning on attending this year and we intend  to have a gathering of REO folks, like we did at the Chickasha  (Oklahoma) Meet this past Spring.
