Steve -- great to see you and all our friends and shipmates of our Fil-Am Assn this past Saturday evening - Barb and I were very appreciative of the terrific company and entertainment too -- pls pass on to all the members that we will be having a welcome home event for all of our shipmates who have recently returned from Individual Augmentee assignments -- it will be a chance to thank them and their families for their sacrifice and duty -- the ceremony will be at 1700, Tuesday, 26 Jun at the Atrium in the NAVAIR HQ Bldg -- we will have music, refreshments and presentations -- these events are very meaningful and just a great time for everyone -- VADM Venlet and other senior folks will be there to help support --

Would be great for Senior Chief Hernandez, Joyce, Monica and Jesse to have as many of the Fil-Am Assn there to support them -- pls pass the information -- and again - it's always a pleasure for me to get together w/ our Fil-Am team -- you all are a very, very positive and important part of our Pax River community - thank you all for your proactive and caring support - I can always count on our Fil-Am Assn family ---

wr, Skipper GI
