Johnson [email protected] Chief Executive Officer Bon voyage! Regardless of the language we speak, most of us understand this well- known maritime phrase. Scenes of confetti streamers being thrown over the rail by Board of Trustees smiling passengers aboard ship, while those on shore wave goodbye, may no longer be RADM Gerald Clusen (USN, Ret.), common; but the heart-felt sentiment of wishing those sailing away a good journey – President a bon voyage – remains true today. Phillip Maples, Vice President So now we bid a “bon voyage” to a respected colleague about to leave our museum for new shores and new adventures! Alex Allie, Vice President Jamie Zastrow, Secretary Caitlin Clyne, the museum’s dedicated collections manager for 7 years is about to embark on a new voyage in her professional career with her fiancée Adam (a museum John Brunner man in his own right). But she leaves behind a group of coworkers, volunteers, museum Dr. Robert Cornwell trustees, Great Lakes historians and many others who benefited and enjoyed the work Steve Lankton we got to do together with her. And the museum certainly benefited from Caitlin’s time here. Phillip Maples Caitlin often worked late hours behind-the-scenes, in the wonderful collections and Scott McMeans archives of the museum, or sometimes on a special project with a group of trusted Jason Ring volunteers. There was a special bond between Caitlin and many of her dedicated crew, Carlton Schultz which makes me confident that stories about her exploits will be told for years to come! Samuel Spurney I know that the members of the museum’s editorial committee most likely agree with me, as they worked very closely with Caitlin these last four years on the publication Dr.

The Historic Site is planning to lease approximately 10 houses AT LINCOLN HOME for low-key business, commercial, George L. Painter or professional use. This can be done under the provisions of the 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act. As part of the program, the lessee must preserve, restore, and maintain the exterior of the structure during the term of the lease. In turn, the lessee will be permitted to adap- tively restore the interior, subject to the restriction that major architec­ tural features must be preserved. In early 1985, the Site launched the program by announcing that the Corneau and Stuve Houses would be made available for leas­ ing. From 1855 to 1860, the Cor­ neau House was the residence of Lincoln's friend, pharmacist Charles Corneau. Historic records show that the Lincoln family purchased such items as "Cough Candy," "Caster Oil," and "Hair Balsam" at the Corneau and Diller drugstore. The Stuve House, on the other hand, was constructed more than ten years after Lincoln's One-half million people visit the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL each year departure from Springfield.

    MINUTES OF THE USSVI NORTHERN VIRGINIA BASE MEETING HELD ON SATURDAY, 8 APRIL, 2017 The Base CDR, Chuck Martin, called the meeting to order at 1104 on 8 April 2017 at American Legion Post 162, Lorton, VA and welcomed all members and guests. MEMBERS AND GUESTS IN ATTENDANCE Steve Bishop, Cathy Chatham, Howard Chatham, Ed Ettner, Mary Ettner, Brian Haller, Steve Jaeger, Chuck Martin, Doug MacFarlane, Mike Naughton, Mary Lou Naughton, Tim Oliver, Mike Varone, George Wallace, Penny Wallace, and Woody Woodworth. (16 attendees) Holland Club Member Associate Member Guest The COB, Mike Varone, led all hands in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Chaplain, Steve Jaeger, delivered the Invocation. The list of boats lost in the month of April and a historical moment were not read due to the nature of today's Tolling of the Boats ceremony honoring all lost boats. Woody Woodworth asked to speak to the membership about the USS Thresher (SSN-593). Woody then related that forty four years ago today, (April 8, 1963) he was topside reporting aboard the USS Thresher in Portsmouth, NH to ride her during sea trials. Woody wanted some extra at-sea time, but a good friend and chief aboard the USS Thresher convinced him to drive back to Groton and join the Thresher there as the crew was still very green – about 1/3 were not yet qualified in subs as they exited the overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. That very good friend of Woody’s spared Woody’s life as the Thresher departed the next day at 0800 and went missing on the second day while off Cape Cod, MA.
