It's starting to be an interesting year in my neck of the woods. January was not a particularly cold month for a change. So far February, usually the worst weather month here in East Texas has been warm. But not so in other areas of the country.
Since my health has become very precarious, I am making another appeal for another shipmate to set up another email system for the Altair. I have a multitude shipmate information files available. Another email list would have to be set up generated possibly using "MailChimp" (or others) which would not charge for using less than 1000 contacts. I show 238 shipmates in this email file that I use and about 45-50 shipmates that would have to be snail mailed for reunion information. This email address (fastmail.us) would not be able to be used as we have already tried that. I should have set this up years ago but I did not.
FINANCIAL: My beginning and ending cash-on-hand balance is $45.51, no change; the beginning and ending savings balance is $2,436.37, no change; the beginning and ending Reunion Committee balance is $1,176.26, no change. Total of $3,658.14.
All for now. For comments or questions contact me at "cmbaltairaks32 [at] fastmail.us

December 2023 monthly report by Charles Brecheisen
YIPES: Another year has passed and I keep asking myself, where did it go? I sort of live in a retirement area and keep hearing from all my neighbors asking the same question. This has to be a better year!
SHIPMATE PASSING: Shipmate Joseph Basso , a good friend that I served with, passed away this last December 11, 2023. Shipmate Basso was a SN aboard the Altair 1960-1962 and resided in Matawan, NJ.
