From the Editor…..
 The Navy
Sea Cadet ship Gray Fox was in Bay City August 18-25 under the
sponsorship of the Saginaw Valley Naval Ship Museum committee.
In addition to daily public tours, 40 youngsters from the Boys
and Girls Club were given a 2-1/2 hour cruise to Saginaw Bay
on Thursday. I was one of the fortunate adults aboard that
day, and loved every minute, especially the time I spent on
the bridge during the rain. I’ll have another chance to use my
sea legs September 10th when our Navy League meets for lunch
at the Coast Guard Station. Weather permitting, we will go for
a ride on their large new boat
Dolores
P.S. We understand that Jim Saint Amour is active with the
Navy Sea Cadets. A good group of kids!

Committee
Shirley Croucher, Chairman
Save your extra 2002 calendars and bring them to
Unit 32’s December meeting! We will see that they are distributed to
veterans in the VA hospitals. Large print and colorful pictures are
favorites of the patients. Campbell labels are still being collected
for the Institute of Logopedics. Keep saving! Missing a book? Call
me and I’ll try to track it down from our master list. 989-463-3765.
Happy Birthday!
