From the Desk of The President

Shipmates:

We had an attentive date of July 5^th for the decommissioning. The decommissioning will not happen on July 5^th. For now there is no date set. I do receive e-mail from the ship just about every week. As soon as I get a date I will get the information out to all our members. We will be e-mailing those members that have e-mail if we have your current e-mail address. We will also be calling those that do not have e-mail so you need to check the web roster and make sure your e-mail address correct. If they are not, let me know right away at jfmelka@charter.net . I know that this is not what we wanted to hear but I assure you all the men and women on the ship are just as discouraged and frustrated as we are.

Jim Melka, President
