Twenty-two shipmates and spouses were present at our May meeting to watch Vice Commander Charles Kelley induct Jerry Lundquist and Douglas Drake into the Holland Club. Jerry qualified in 1976 on the Dace SSN-607. Doug also qualified in 1976 on the Benjamin Franklin, SSBN-640. Jerry’s wife Patricia and Doug’s wife Cindy were present to watch the induction of their husbands. Other Holland Club members attending were Bill Bouman, Frank DeMaio, Van McAdams (not pictured), Dave McRoberts, Brian Meagher, Thom Peschke, Mike Reese, and Mike Stracke.

Our purpose is to perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their life in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifice be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments. Pledge loyalty and patriotism to the United States of America and its Constitution.

We had a nice turnout for the Armed Forces Day Parade. The weather was outstanding, sonny with Goldilocks temperature. We were float number 59 out of 64, so even though we were near the end of the parade, the crowd was enthusiastic. A good time was had.

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Senior Chief Leland (Lee) Rogers has gone on eternal patrol at the age of 94. Many of his shipmates were there to see him off. He was a great shipmate, veteran, and he will be missed. Rest easy Chief, we have the watch.

Dick was a founding member of the USS Haddo Base.
Six of Dick’s shipmates, 3 Haddo, 2 dual Haddo/Carbonero, and one Carbonero members were present at the Chattanooga National Cemetery to see Dick off on the eternal patrol. His family was very appreciative that the USSVI was present to honor him. Rest your oars Dick, we have the watch.

Linda McKenna presented a quilt of valor to Thom Peschke at our October meeting. The bottom left picture is of all the current members who have already received quilts of valor.
A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

Excellent food, outstanding weather, great companionship, good crowd. That summarizes the Haddo Base picnic this year. I am not sure what could have made our picnic better. Perhaps having a few shipmates from the Carbonero base would have helped.
We had 30 shipmates and family attending. Ray Costa prepared all the hamburgers and hotdogs and did an excellent job. We had a wide variety of great side dishes brought by our members. The only bad thing about the picnic was that the 50/50 was won by our commander, Brian (booooo).
