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 Loss of the German Submarine Early Theories The most effective and successful branch of the German By John Chatterton, Richie Kohler, and John Yurga Navy in World War II was the U-boat arm. Hitler feared he would lose in a direct confrontation with the Royal Navy, so the German surface fleet largely sat idle at anchor. Meanwhile, the U-boats and their all- volunteer crews were out at sea, hunting down enemy vessels.

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.
