Since Bob Pratts resignation, I will be temporary Treasurer until the 2012 reunion.
We need a dedicated shipmate to step up and become our Association’s Treasurer.
If you are interested, contact me by phone or e-mail and I will give you a good sales pitch.
It doesn't pay anything but the satisfaction of doing this for the association is PRICELESS.

I am dedicating this reunion to our deceased Historian, Charlie Meder.
So call all of your friends, relatives and shipmates and we'll all meet in Portland for our reunion.

I will need some good amateur or professional photographers to volunteer to take candid pictures
on all our tours and throughout the reunion to be used in our reunion book.

If there is any way that Charlie and I can help you, feel free to call on us.
All for now. Smooth Sailing John Roten EN3 58-60
