The Aerograph Editor's Notes I apologize to all of you who received your August issue a little or very late. As June explained in this section of that issue, family does take precedent over most things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim mentions in his article about how he likes the new hardware and software you bought us. I will second his enthusiasm. Now that we are completely compatible, Jim can send me information from the database and I can work with it in Microsoft Word 97. He sent me the B-List and the E-Mail list and I was able to format them and print them myself. In the past, if a change needed in the information Jim sent, I would have to cut and paste to make the change. The new software also makes it easier to work with articles I receive from all of you. And the more I learn the software, the easier it will be to put out The Aerograph. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Binnacle List You will read a note from Joe Sycuro in the Letters section about 4-way bypass and aortic valve replacement surgery. I'm sure Joe would appreciate hearing from you during his recovery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will find some different kinds of articles in this issue. I try to keep bringing new interests to The Aerograph, and receiving a variety of information from the membership makes my job a lot easier. You don't have to worry about what medium you use to send your articles. Word 97 will convert most any software, the new scanner you bought me will scan most any kind of typed or printed material, and believe it or not, 1 haven't forgot how to type in case you send your article in long hand or printed form. And, I still can receive information via FAX at the number listed in the publication info section. I just want to say keep the articles coming. If you sent one and haven't seen it yet, don't worry, you will. And if you think it's been too long since you sent the article, send me a note or call to jog my memory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Publication Information: The Aerograph is published quarterly in February, May, August, and November. The Editor must receive contributions not later than the 15th of January, April, July, and October. Articles and letters can be submitted in any format, typed or handwritten. If you have a PC, you can send your article on a 3 1 /2 inch diskette and save me some typing. I now have MS Office 97 and can use most any software. However, your MAC and Apple Software still comes up UNKNOWN FORMAT. Diskettes will be returned if requested. If you are on-line you can E-Mail your info to [email protected]. My 24 Hour Fax Number is 352-787-9386. Be sure to include my name on the cover page. My address is listed below.

Some of the values that are common to the many individual examples cited in the book are dedication, loyalty, patriotism, self-sacrificing, honest, service to others, endurance, and high regard for marriage, among others. Every November, Naval Weather Service Association members look forward to the edition of The Aerograph that contains the "Bellinger List," more affectionately known as the "B-List". This year I want to personalize the "B-List". Lloyd Bellinger was born on December 13. 1919, in Forestport. New York, which is located near Rome, his present day home. For 10 years the nation was enjoying boundless prosperity and living it up. What does a young lad of 10 or less know about the Roaring Twenties, the Model-T Ford, flapper skirts, or the Charleston? Probably not too much. The decade of the Thirties was certainly much different economically and much more impressionable on a teenager and all of those who lived through the Great Depression. In a family of Mom and Dad, plus 5 boys and 2 girls, the 1930s in a rural New York town dependent upon forest products, life was not easy. In fact, they were times that had a significant influence on character building. One way to put food on the table was to hunt game and Lloyd did that. In 1936 Lloyd joined the Citizen Military Training Group (CMTG) which was a forerunner of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). One less mouth at the table, and one more member to provide sustenance to the rest of the family. In April of 1938, Lloyd joined the united States Navy at Utica, New York and set off for recruit training in Newport, Rhode Island and the start of a 23 year career. Where was Lloyd on Sunday, December 7, 1941? Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, of course. Another significant event in Lloyd's life occurred in September of 1944 when he married Naomi in her native California. From that union came two children - Jeff and Ann. Fifty-five years later, Lloyd and Naomi live in Rome. New York. In 1961, Lloyd retired from active duty in the Navy and lived in Toms River, New Jersey selling Ford automobiles. In 1964, he returned to the field of meteorology with the Army Signal Corps, working at Fort Monmouth, NJ, Fort Sill, OK and Chanute Field, IL. In 1978, Lloyd retired from Civil Service and re-turned to the area of his roots, settling in Rome. He doesn't hunt in the woods for food anymore but over the rears he and Naomi have taken many trips to Canada and the New England states to sample the cuisine. The values that Tom Brokaw found in the many individuals used in The Greatest Generation are the same values that he could have observed in Lloyd Bellinger. Next month, on the 13th of December 1999, Lloyd will celebrate the eightieth anniversary of his birth. I plan to send him a birthday card and I invite every member of the Naval Weather Service Association to join me. Happy Holidays.
