July 2022 monthly report by Charles Brecheisen

 Greetings Altair Shipmates.  Here is your monthly report for July 2022.


The heat has been unbearable here in ETX and we are under continual county burn-bans.  No relief in sight.  Other areas of the country are being flooded.

FINANCIAL:  My beginning cash-on-hand was $80.34 with an expense of $13.95 to maintain the Altair web name leaving a balance of $66.39.  The beginning and ending saving balance is $2,886.37, no change.  The Reunion Committee  beginning and end balance $670.31, no change.  Totals are $3,623.07. 

SHIPMATES:  The following shipmates were reported deceased:

    Goterba, John, MM2, 1961-63; passed Jan. 12, 2022
    Todd, Denwood J., SK3, 1955-56; passed Nov. 2, 2021
    Kondrach, Mick, EM1, 1965-67; passed Dec. 1 2019
    RIchardson, Hoyt F., SN, 1953-55; passed Oct. 1, 2019
    Myers, Thomas, CS3, 1955-57; passed Nov. 5, 2018

    We have two shipmates we have not been able to track down or locate and I will call them as MIA's.
         Ziegler, Joseph, ET3 1965-66
         Williams, Willie, IC3, 1966

REUNION:  I hope every shipmate that will be attending the Altair reunion has responded to Bruce with all the proper info, etc.  Sounds like a good time!!

All for now.  For any questions or comments, please contact me at "cmbaltairaks32[at]fastmail.us
