March 2013 by Charles Brecheisen

Greetings Altair Shipmates.  Here is your monthly report for March 2013.

SHIPMATE PASSED:  Mrs. Zona Schuch reported that her husband Jerome A. Schuch passed away December 24, 2012.  Shipmate Schuch was a SN aboard the Altair 1956-1957.  They resided in Oshkosh, WI.  Our condolences to the Schuch family.

FINANCIAL:  The beginning March cash-on-hand balance was $1886.14 with dues income of $155.00 and expenses of $151.87 leaving a balance of $1889.27.  Expenses were postage, printing, envelopes and address labels for the New Orleans reunion mailing.  The beginning and ending 
savings account balance was $5794.18 with no income nor expenses.

     The savings account total has been transferred from my Texas bank to Shipmate Master Chief Dick Stader's bank in Kenosha, WI.  This was done as my wife was on the Altair account here in Texas; and, since she has passed away we felt that the account should be moved.   When Shipmate Stader and family returns to Kenosha, WI, I will transfer $1000.00 of the cash-on-hand to the savings account leaving enough for expenses, etc.

ALTAIR REUNION:  Reservations are coming in for the next Altair reunion in New Orleans.  Please make your reservations early as possible!!  Shipmate Summann is listing shipmates that have signed up for the reunion on the Altair web site.  If you have any questions,  please contact reunion chairman Clifton Hoke at:  cliff [at] isbco.com or cell 601-946-2144 or home 601-853-4741 or fax 601-853-4702.
