I am Bill Martin (Branch 6). I have served on the Board of Directors the past two years as Publicity Chair.

I am a Van Valkenburgh by accident of marriage to Glenna Van Horne (a double Dutch gal). We live in the northern most southern city in the country, Indianapolis, IN. We have four children and six grandchildren, all members of NAVVF and many of whom have attended VV reunions.

My background is mechanical engineering. I'm a retired Professional Engineer and Contractor,

Now that I have the time, I garden, work on my model trains, travel when able and enjoy my weekly card game and lunch with a retired men's club.

The very best publicity that can happen comes from YOU; find the VVs in your town and invite them to join our "family."

You are all (or as we say, y'all are) invited to visit the "crossroads of America" in August 2000 for the annual VV reunion in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Please plan to attend!
