Firebirds.org goes LIVE!

News, Reunion info (present and past), our Roster, and Taps roll, all now reside here. You will find the updated pages are more mobile friendly than the older Historic site pages. Rest assured, the Historic site remains entirely intact and can be reached here and from our new home page.

Due to the tremendous amount of data it holds, modernizing the entire website was beyond our budget, but Firebird history is now preserved there. Note that there is a brief chronological overlap (2024 and 2025) between the Historical and the Current site.

Iron Mike Makes No-notice Bed Check

Gene Ramsey gets a no-notice bed check by Tiny Tin Mike during his hospital stay in Columbus, GA. Gene and Kathy’s quick visit to see their grandson graduate Army Infantry Training at Fort Benning turned into an unwelcome extended stay.

January 14 UPDATE! We’re all grateful they are both back home now. The love and support of the  Firebird faithful was appreciated.

April 23 UPDATE! Gene passed his latest test and is back to an unrestricted diet.
