At the Seattle Base June meeting former USSVI National Commander Pat Householder inducted 13 new members into the Holland Club.
Seattle Base Commander Keith Watson provided a cake to welcome the new inductees. He also has a nice PowerPoint slide with each inductee's name and a picture of their qualification boat.
This year's inductees that were present at the meeting are:
 |
| John Bush - USS Growler (SSG-577) |

 |
| Lee Trunkhill - USS Spinax (SS-489) |

| James Davis - USS Raton (SS-270) - He had recently switched his primary Base to the Silent Service Motorcycle Club, so Keith had to tell him that the SSMC has his patch and certificate. |
