93rd Bomb Group Association Reunion Webcasts
Experimental project provided for members
The association thought that webcasting might allow some members to view annual reunion events if they were not able to attend. An experiment was tested at the 2012 Seattle, WA reunion with great success.
A budget was approved and starting at the 2013 Hartford, CT reunion the association streamed reunion activities through its website available for all to watch. Earlier reunions kept the webcast close to the hotel but technology advancements allowed offsite activities to be webcasted eventually.
These recordings below are the unedited webcasts and run fairly long. Please look for the chapter markers to advance to sections you might be interested in.
