Greetings Altair Shipmates. Here is a prayer request for Marines KIA.
"We are asking everyone to say a prayer for "Darkhorse" 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and their families. They are fighting it out in Afghanistan & they have lost 12 marines in 4 days. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE the message spread if more could pass it on. God Bless America and God Bless the United States Marine Corps... Semper Fi, Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever

Mr. Moran was born in Baltimore, Md. to the late James P. and Mary Jane Clark Moran. He is also preceded in death by six brothers and sisters.
He was a machinist for Western Electric for approximately 30 years, retiring in 1979.
Mr. Moran was a U.S. Navy veteran, stationed on the Altair, McCord and the Darby. He was a member of VFW Post 7447 in Rehoboth Beach, American Legion Post 28 in Oak Orchard, a former state commander from 1990-91, past captain of the District 4 Honor Guard and attended the U.S.S. Altair Reunion.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the District 4 Honor Guard, C/O Atwood Timmons, P.O. Box 565, Millsboro, DE 19966"
Thank for the information George!
Here are some memories of Shipmate Ed Moran from Shipmate Roger Wiggans:
"Please forward my sympathies to the Moran family.
I was a Moran striker for many moons. He did his best to train me on the wheel for GQ and transferring underweigh. I never could handle it as well as he could. He was the expert. We had a lot of fun, sweat and strain during those tense (for me) times.
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Roger Wiggans, QM2

Reunion Update
Greetings Altair Shipmates. Here is new info on the upcoming Altair Reunion:
I have had several phone calls about reservations at the hotel. When I made arrangements it was the Holiday Inn at Airport. It is now the Hilton Doubletree. It is completely remodeled. Phone number and price are the same.
Don't forget the auction event, bring some items to donate and a little extra to make purchases. We have a good time and all the money goes to the Altair treasury.
As always best regards, John B.

Greetings Altair Shipmates.
There has been some major confusion about emailing to the Altair Shipmates and it is 99% my fault. Our ISP upgraded the "Horde" emailing software and I tried to use it without checking into what changed. An update was sent to ALL Alair Shipmates.........which I found out later. Anyway, the ISP has changed the software to operate as before. As before, reply emails sent thru this server will be automatically deleted. You will not be able to send emails thru this server to 'altaircrew'. If information needs to be sent out, please send me the email at cmbaltairaks32 [at] fastmail.us and I will resend to the crew. This will save lots of headaches and email address stealing bots.
ALTAIR CREW: Please welcome aboard the following new Altair Shipmates:
Roland W. Adkins FA(BT) 1955, Ranger, WV
Rev. Valentine Vit, BM3, 1960-1963, Monroeville, NJ
WELCOME ABOARD!
FINANCIAL: The beginning April cash on hand balance was $1388.76 with $10 dues income and no expenses leaving a balance of $1398.76. The beginning Altair savings account was $5165.90 with interest income of $6.37 leaving a balance of $5172.27. The total cash balance is $6571.03.
Please do not reply to this email. Comments and recommendations should be sent to cmbaltairaks32 [at] fastmail.us
Best Regards To All..........Charles
