This will be a short report as I just had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder and having trouble using my right arm and typing fingers.

FINANCIAL: The beginning balance was $2134.05 with receipts of $1035.00 and expenses of $242.77 leaving a balance of $2926.28. The receipts were for the Altair Plaque fund. Expenses were mailing expenses about the upcoming 'mini' reunion.

ALTAIR PLAQUE: We now have $2550 in receipts and pledges for the plaque. Thanks to Admiral Colbert's widow and all the contributing shipmates, we have exceeded the required $2500! YEA TEAM!

ALTAIR REUNION: By now, all Altair shipmates should have received information about the upcoming 'mini' reunion either via email or snail mail. Any questions should be sent to Tom Planes tomplanes@alltel.net Make your reservation early! Y'all come!

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