New Orleans 2005 Reunion
The reunion in New Orleans will be from 10/13 thru 10/17 2005. We will stay at the Brent House. It is a very nice Hotel about halfway between the airport and downtown. The Hotel is affiliated with the Ochsner Clinic which is a major medical facility that specializes in heart related science. We have negotiated an extremely reasonable rate of $66.50 per night including a full breakfast every day, a beautiful Atrium hospitality room exclusively for Mills use during our stay, free parking, and the ambience for which New Orleans is renowned worldwide. Comparison accommodations downtown in October are priced at a minimum of $120.00 plus up to $25.00 per night parking. Parking will be free, but tickets must be validated at the front desk prior to departure every time your car is moved from the hotel. A new ticket will issued upon your return. Once Again please make reservations as early as possible, the cutoff to hold our block is September 1st, and additional rooms will be virtually impossible to obtain. October is one of the most popular months for visitors in New Orleans.
