March 2024 monthly report by Charles Brecheisen

Greetings Altair Shipmates.  Here is your monthly report for March 2024.
There was not much in the way of news in March.  Seems like all the news was about the upcoming solar eclipse in April.  Fortunately, Holly Lake Ranch, Texas was right in the middle of the eclipse and I had a nice view.....or lack of view.  I seem to remember while I was aboard the Altair in 1960 and the Altair was anchored off the coast of France and we were on a bus touring trip in the hills, and we stopped on the road and saw another total solar eclipse.  And, as I remember, the bus was heading to a French perfume factory which we could smell at least 10 miles away.  Oh boy, a bunch of sailors going to a perfume factory. 

FINANCIAL:  The beginning cash-on-hand balance was $15.16 with no changes; the beginning and ending savings balance is $2,436.37 with no changes; the beginning and ending Reunion Committee balance is $1,176.26 with no changes.  Totals $3,627.79.

All for now.  Comments and questions send to me at "cmbaltairaks32 [at] fastmail.us"

Best Wishes To All.......Charles
