President's Message
2011

Shipmates:

Well, we have put another reunion behind us. What a grand time we all enjoyed. Thank you Al and Ginny. You guys always out do yourselves. We who have coordinated a reunion know how much work and effort they require. Thanks for a job well done which equated to a great reunion.

I want to thank all of those who attended the Colorado Springs reunion and hope all had a rewarding time -- hope to see you all in Reno.

I felt we made some headway in our business meeting. We seem to be on track with various locations where we may be successful in establishing a WESCO memorial. I felt the opinion of the membership was that this certainly is a good work, and an accepted expenditure of some of our accrued funds.

I again say thank you to Al and Ginny Carson for their dedication to excellence regarding our past reunion. I also would like to say thank you to John and P.J. It is really great to have them back on board full time.

A heartfelt thanks to Nolan Nelson. Nolan has worked tirelessly as our Secretary/Treasurer. He has and continues to do such an outstanding job. The Association is really quite fortunate to have such a competent individual in this capacity. Thanks Nolan, from all of us.

May God bless each and every one of us, and keep us safe and in reasonably good health. It would be my wish, as I am sure it is yours, that our leaders get our great country back on track and that we again take our place as the greatest nation in the world.

I wish for all of you and yours smooth seas and trailing winds.

See you in Reno.

Jim Yeager
President
