April 2014 by Charles M. Brecheisen

Greetings Altair Shipmates.  Here is your report for April 2014.

FINANCIAL:  The beginning cash-on-hand balance was $898.46 with no income and $126.65 in expenses leaving a balance of $771.81.  The expense was for the Altair web site yearly fee.  The beginning and ending Altair savings account balance is $6599.61.  The total Altair cash-on-hand balance is $7371.42.

SHIPMATES:  Please........Please........if  you move, or change your email address, please notify me, the website......anyone!  There are over 100 shipmates that have moved, deceased, or just don't care about the Altair/Shipmates anymore,  that I have lost track of.  I have eliminated the Altair Website emailing list as it does not give a return on bad addresses.  I will spend the month of May trying to track down any lost "Shipmates" before eliminating them from the current list.  But, they will always remain on another up-to-date reference list.

REUNION:  Richie Reiss, the Chairman for the upcoming Altair Reunion in Las Vegas requests that if you plan to attend the reunion, to please notify him ASAP.  You do NOT have to send your money now.  Richie just needs a head count.  Richie can be reached at rjr940 [at] aol.com or via telephone 702-407-0626.

Does anyone know who or how to contact the government about getting earned but never received medals?  Like from the Korean or Viet Nam Wars.  Please send me an email with any info.

All for now.........please do not reply to this email.  For comments or additional info please email me at cmbaltairaks32 [at] fastmail.us

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