Ted,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are two functions here. One is a yearly dinner of Burbank TV and other radio employees, many from the Hollywood network days (Red and Blue). The other is a very informal luncheon that I sometimes get a chance to go to once a month here in the SF Valley. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the last dinner (I think), one member died while attending unfortunately. Very sad, but one has to remember that a lot of these men and women are well into their 70's and 80's. Most of these members had the balance of their careers before GE came in an changed a lot of things. </div>

Hi, Dennis and David <br>
<br>
Is there an NBC retired engineers or retirees group on either/both coasts like the NYC CBSretirees.com and LA CBSretirees.org? <br>
<br>
Or a similar association of ABC employees? <br>
<br>
