Early Announcement for February Meeting

Our February meeting, on Wednesday February 16, will be Ladies Night! We are putting the meeting notice up early so you can be sure to figure out a way to bring your wife or the lady in your life to the meeting (you can say it is for Valentine's Day).

For our program, Don Ulmer will be giving a special presentation about the USS Springer (SS-414).

Springer earned 3 Battle Stars during World War II. The story Don will tell occurred during the war and he has film from the event. This true story has a special ending and there will be an artifact from that story at the meeting.

Don Ulmer, as most of you know, is a well known novelist. He qualified on the USS Clamagore (SS-343), as a white hat, in 1949 and returned to her in 1967 as her Commanding Officer. He served 31 years in the U.S. Navy! Thank you for your service Don.

I think we are going to have quite a night. See you there!


Fraternally,
Keith Watson
Commander Seattle Base USSVI
