June 2007 by Charles Brecheisen

ALTAIR PLAQUE: Rich Jenikovsky has sent a $50 challenge! The first committment foraa $50 match will be met! Only one time! Come on shipmates...... The Altair plaque fund has reached $1310 in pledges and cash. Great job but I know you can do better.

SHIPMATES PASSING: I received the following email:

"USS Altair Alumni; I regretfully report the passing of one of your shipmates, Russell C. Gott, 1955-1956, FN, MN. He passed away peacefully in his sleep while hospitalized in Minnesota Friday June 15th 2007. His wife Magda is still here and can be contacted at gottbitburg@aol.com I am his next door neighbor and have enjoyed the stories of the Altair over the years, and am reporting this to you to help his wife at this difficult time.

Thank You, DeWayne Morse"

Mrs. Gott can be reached at:

15334 Dresden Way
St Paul, MN 55124-6831

FINANCIAL: The beginning balanced was $1849.05 with $100 received and zero expenses leaving a balance of $1949.05. $90 of the received was for the plaque fund.

All for now. We are still getting lots and lots of rain daily and there seems no end in sight. Septic systems are overflowing everywhere due to the high water table. We have had a drought for the past 7 years and it looks like it is over. Lillie and I are growing gills and webbed hands and feet. Please contact me at cmbaltairaks32@fastmail.us with any comments or questions.

Best Regards To All.......Charles
