USNA Alumni from WED night monthly meeting -

All that attended -

*********************************

All -

great meeting last week - 14 total included 2 brand new folks - Don Aiken '78 and Terrance Coleman '02 - Welcome aboard! Also - 2 folks that we had not seen in a bit - Mark Krivonak '71 and Jack Fernandez '78. I guess '78 wins with the most amount of people. Decade with most folks - the '70s take it!

Some dues paid, good suggestions on future tours - possible Centcom, Socom, NOAA. Good suggestion on bylaws on website, and that we need to find the trophy for upcoming golf!! Good discussions on "Carrier", the Board of Trustees up at the Alumni Association by Warren Hahn '60, as well as all of your other comments below! If anyone is interested in running - we still have open positions available!

Also - per Gary - Army-Navy game gathering - very likely NOT at Raymond James stadium this year - Army has lead - will have to look for another venue.
