I just purchased 4 tickets to the Luncheon on Thursday April 17. If anyone goes let me know, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm only half as grumpy in real life.

Tickets for this event are $75 if you want an autographed book and a chance to meet them. You can purchase the tickets online at www.doolittletickets.com or call the Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce at (850) 244-8191. When you call they tell you to dial '23' to buy tickets over the phone, which turns out to be busy, which then encourages you to get the tickets online.

They are also holding a lunch on Friday and a dinner on Saturday. There are only 4 Raiders left, likely the last chance on this earth to meet them.

See you in Florida!
