Hello, Could you get this out to whoever you think might help. If all goes without a hitch, it shouldn't take too long, but we all know how things can happen. Help is needed especially on Saturday, the 6th about 7 a.m. HELP!!! The P-3 footings need replacing. The new pads were formed/poured the morning of the picnic/golf outing and had to cure approx. 3 weeks. So.... Help is needed the evening of September 5 for preparation (getting the "stuff" together). September 6th - 7 A.M. until however long it takes, for jacking; removal of old footings/pads; leveling ground; etc. and installation of new pads. This will take some help as the pads were not poured next to the P-3 and will have to be moved from behind the museum (it's a long story). This is not a full blown work party event i.e. food, etc. BYOB Anyone who can lend a hand will be GREATLY appreciated. THANKS A LOT, Bob
Jeff’s Surprise 50th (yes he is older than me, by a lot) We are going to do the BBQ picnic thing and all that jazz. September 14th 2:00 pm until whenever 7070 Markel, Cottrellville Twp. MI 48039 Lisa

Shipmate Update
Commander Frank J Henderson VP93 - WWII
Retired Commander Frank J Henderson departed Aug 26 2008 to his final assignment! He had turned 100 on Dec 25 2007 but had developed back problems that became increasingly painful and restricting. Ultimately the Warfin levels got out of control and we lost him. He was active and alert up until the day of his death. We will miss him. He lived with his son Frank A for 24 years after the passing of his wife Gertrude.
AWC Dave Simons has passed on
From his wife Cindy:
David is now with God. I received a call from the nursing center at 6:00 this morning. I went yesterday & said my goodbyes & told him it was time for him to let go & for him to go be with God, his parents, brothers, sisters & friends. Per his request, there will not be any services. He will be cremated & his ashes will be sent to the United States Navy for the burial at sea program. I'm fine right now. I've been trying to prepare for this for a long time. I'm glad that we took the opportunity to do things & visit family & friends while his was still able to. Thanks to all of you for the support you've given us.
