Our Color Guard Captain, Paul Skalski, who chaired this year’s Parade did a outstanding job. We had 30 members who walked, rode or towed various floats. We also had the honor of having Naval Submarine school Staff and students, including Captain Houdeshell and CMDMC Murphy, march with us this year.
I like to thank the SUBVETTS, along with Jull Tufts, Tom Conners, David Douglas, Alex Tufts and Obie Hill for assisting with the reception upstairs. There was a lot of food and all enjoyed the atmosphere as we celebrated AMERICA!

Call, send a note, or a visit - A phone call or a visit from a shipmate means a lot, even if you don't know the person. If anyone knows of a shipmate that should be added, I don’t. Please let me know.

A reminder, there are many who have recently had or are having scheduled surgery. In most cases they have asked that I don’t put their names on this list. Your thoughts and prayers are requested for each of them.

Binnacle List
Please say a prayer for all who may also be under the weather including spouses and relatives. Special note: This should include those who are suffering from some debilitating illness, and may be in a nursing home, etc. There are many who come to mind that had previously been on this list.
