Cole P. P. PLEASE HELP! 17840 Oakwood Ave. We are always looking for Memorabilia for our Museum Rooms. Soon we will be starting Lansing, IL 60438-1934 (708) 474-9331 one at the Mississippi Maritime and Warship Museum in Pascagoula, MS so keep us in [email protected] mind as we will be starting with very little memorabilia. One thing we would like to find is some Military Payment Certificates "Funny Money" that was used to pay us during the Viet Nam war. If you have anything you want to donate contact Ed Trotter at [email protected]. Thanks for your help in keeping our memories alive to others through our Museum Rooms. PAGE 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AHOY SHIPMATES AND FRIENDS, It is both an honor and privilege to be the new President of the Ticonderoga Veterans Association. A very successful forty third reunion was held in Charleston, SC. Thanks to our outgoing President John Deasy and Jerry Cole for a job well done. A special thanks to Ed Trotter for all his help. A thank you to Lewis Trotter for officiating at our memorial service. With such pride, it was an honor to have six WWII Veterans in attendance. They are: Left to Right: Walter Mallett Chuck Downey Bob Strother William Cheesman Bill Blyth Bob Sexton We enjoyed hearing all their stories; we hope to have them back for many more reunions. A special welcome to our new CG47 members Tom Bush, John Malone, Stan Sulkowski and Dan Wiberg. We welcome all our new members and hope they will continue to join us in the future. We need everyone to reach out to get more new members to join our organization. Our next reunion is May 14th – May 18th, 2015 in Minneapolis/St. Paul. John DuPont will be coordinating. More information to follow. As President, I hope to keep the Ticonderoga Association going forward. I want to wish all my shipmates and their families a great summer. God Bless America. Lloyd Frank NEW ITEMS NOW IN THE SHIP’S STORE! CHECK THEM OUT AT THE BIGT WEBSITE CARRIER STORE! PAGE 3 BOY OH BOY DID WE HAVE FUN! PAGE 4 LOVE THAT BEAUTIFUL FLAG! EVERYBODY HAD SO MUCH FUN! LET’S GET TOGETHER IN MINNEAPOLIS? PAGE 5 Treasurers Report: The Big-T Veterans Association just completed our 2014 Charleston, South Carolina Reunion and it was a great event. The theme of this year’s reunion was to honor our Ticonderoga WWII Veterans. We had 7 of these veterans in attendance and they shared with us many of their experiences that they had during their service. We had about 150 people that joined us for our reunion, so financially, the reunion was very successful, as well. We are now turning our focus to our 2015 Reunion in Minneapolis, MN - May 14-18. I assumed the position of Treasurer on October 1, 2013 so the financial statement included only covers 10/1/13 to 4/30/14. Our fiscal year actually runs from 5/1/13 to 4/30/14, consequently, the entire year was not reported. In the future, complete fiscal year activities will be reported. We closed out our fiscal year on 4/30/14, and at that time, our treasury balance being reported was only $4,850.10. As of today, 6/15/14, our treasury balance has increased to $11,384.89. This increase was primarily due to the generosity of our members stepping up with donations. (List included). Also having a great impact, was the effort by our new President, Lloyd Frank, making over two hundred calls, requesting members to get caught up on their past due membership obligations. Once again, our members responded. In addition to the $11,384.89 treasury balance being reported, our Board of Directors are also in the process of obtaining $15,000.00 of projected revenue that would have a great positive impact on our financial situation. Regardless of whether we obtain this projected revenue, or not, we still have the resources to continue our quarterly newsletter publications, our website/data base activities, and our annual reunions. Without this projected $15,000.00 of revenue, we would have to become much more cost conscience and reduce spending, (memorials, systems, postage, etc.). To help facilitate our financial strength, at the Charleston Reunion, our general membership voted to increase the annual membership dues from $20 to $30 per year effective 1/1/15. (The general membership holds their voting at reunions). For members that have already paid their 2015 dues ahead, there would be no increase. As noted on the "Proposed 2014-2015 Budget", we reduced our annual spending from $16,000 to $11,500. I thank all of our members for the support that they have given. Sincerely, George Passantino Treasurer 6/15/14 PAGE 6 USS TICONDEROGA VETERANS ASSOCIATION FISCAL YEAR 2013 – 2014 (Only 10/1/13 – 04/30/14) TREASURERS REPORT BANK BALANCE AS OF 10/1/13 $ 0.00 INCOME: MEMBERSHIP RECEIPTS $ 6,228.02 TRANSFERS Ships Store Startup Refund $100.00 General Fund (From Former Treasurer) $119.41 Memorial Fund (From Former Treasurer) $480.59 Total $700.00 $ 700.00 DONATIONS: General Fund $2,315.00 Hornet Museum $ 435.00 Hornet (Ensign‐Admiral) $ 100.00 Memorial Fund $ 229.71 Digital Records $ 105.00 CG‐47 Museum $ 50.00 Tico Booster Fund $ 50.00 Total $ 3,284.71 $ 3,284.71 $10,212.73 $10,212.73 EXPENSES: Website $ 96.00 Scanning Documents $ 109.00 Ships Store Website Graphics $ 136.48 Secretary Of State (Illinois) $ 13.00 April Newsletter $ 1,917.94 Secretary Expense $ 270.68 Bank Checks/Deposit Slips $ 16.00 Charleston Reunion Startup $ 2,500.00 Secretary Expense $ 303.53 Total $ 5,362.63 $ 5,362.63 Ending Bank Balance 4/30/14 $ 4,850.10 2013 – 2014 BigT Budget 2014 – 2015 BigT Proposed Budget President $ 600.00 President $ 400.00 Secretary $ 1,800.00 Secretary $1,000.00 Treasurer $ 300.00 Treasurer $ 200.00 Newsletters $ 9,500.00 Newsletters $8,500.00 Membership $ 300.00 Membership $ 300.00 Miscellaneous $ 3,000.00 Miscellaneous $ 700.00 Public Relations $ 500.00 Public Relations $ 100.00 Website $ 0.00 Website $ 300.00 GRAND TOTAL $16,000.00 GRAND TOTAL $11,500.00 PAGE 7 WHAT A GREAT TIME SEEING THE SIGHTS!

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE NEWSLETTERS, YOU MUST BE CURRENT ON YOUR MEMBERSHIP. (DUES MUST BE PAID) PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE GREETINGS TO ALL SHIPMATES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, Well it has been six months since we were unable to get together in Portland for Our Reunion. Sorry to say the world’s health situation has not improved and many countries are now going in to full lockdown for hopefully short periods of time! Just like when we were aboard ship make sure your vaccinations are up to date! I hate shots but recently received the first of two ShingRix shots! Friend of mine recently had case of shingles and it was painful he told me! Please Don’t neglect your health thinking you need to stay away from doctors office because of pandemic. Here in the Lower Hudson Valley Fall Colors are amazing! It has been a few years where we had such a colorful fall season. Hopefully this is a sign that things will improve! The Doubletree by Hilton Norfolk Airport staff is enthusiastically waiting to welcome our Association this coming May. They are taking all steps to keep us safe during our reunion. I will be speaking to our tour company to determine if they need to adjust any of our tours. All of the attractions in Norfolk are at this time in operation. I know that DOD Bases in the beginning of the pandemic were off limits except for base personnel! Hopefully this part of tour will be available but the pandemic infection rate is so fluid only time will tell.

  • 4Th Quarter 2013 the Jerseyman Number 80
    “Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide Firepower for Freedom…” 4th Quarter 2013 The Jerseyman Number 80 On the Downhill Slide to the Holidays Rich Thrash, Brass Team Volunteer Where did the summer go…? It seems like just yesterday I was writing a front page article about the coming of spring, and here it is fall again and soon the Brass Team will be moving inside to find a warm place to work. The unofficial plan is to try and have some portion of Broadway open to the public in the spring, so that’s likely where we’ll be spending much of our time during the winter months. There is a lot brass along Broadway, but we’ve done it all before so it won’t be too tough. It sure would be great to add Broadway to the list of areas open to the public for tours, that’s a very unique area and a place everybody wants to see, along with the engine rooms of course. This has been a good year for the Battleship in many ways and I feel like we are once again on the rise. I give a lot of the credit for our turn around to Phil Rowan, our Executive Director & CEO who took command at a time when we were really struggling last February and has a lot to show for his efforts over the last 18 months. On the right is a pair of photos representing two highlights of my time spent on the Battleship this summer.
