Vandenberg was sunk seven miles off Key West, Florida to create an artificial reef to attract recreational divers and fishermen. The ship is 523 feet long and the well placed explosives caused her to go to the bottom in less than two minutes. From the 1960s to the 1980s the ex-Vandenberg tracked spacecraft launches while she also played a big part in the Cold War.

I met Mrs. Shirley Jaeger in the wardroom of the ship and asked where I could find her husband, Harry. Shirley told me that he was up in the forward hold. Once I found him, for the next hour and a half Harry took me up and down ladders, into berthing spaces, engine rooms, storage rooms, the galley, the communication shack, the bridge, and just about every conceivable location on the ship. Before the tour was completed, I was soaking wet from perspiration, but I had seen every inch of the ship. What a thrill! We then sat in the wardroom and had a very nice lunch. The Zuni, even though she is a long way from being restored, has come a long way in that very tedious and time consuming process. Harry and Shirley have done nothing short of performing miracles.

Thanks to our Member's dues, a substantial contribution from our most generous member and contributions from a couple of local patriotic organizations, we will end the year financially sound and feeling confident that we will be able to make any emergency repairs and continue to make improvements to the Museum. As reported in previous Scuttlebutts, most of our major projects have been completed. Our upgraded security system with motion activated cameras inside the Museum and outside the shed John Cecil should be completed this month. The construction of a concrete structure for the mid-1600s British Admiralty Cannon should be completed early next year. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a New Year that is happy, healthy and prosperous. On this Christmas day let's all say a prayer for our troops that can't be home with families and loved ones. They are doing a great job of preventing the spread of terrorism and protecting our freedoms. Please say a prayer for their safe return home.

    SLATER SIGNALS The Newsletter of the USS SLATER's Volunteers By Timothy C. Rizzuto, Executive Director Destroyer Escort Historical Museum USS Slater DE-766 PO Box 1926 Albany, NY 12201-1926 Phone (518) 431-1943, Fax 432-1123 Vol. 18 No. 4, April 2015 Our opening month kept our tour guides busy. School was out at the beginning of April for Easter and Spring Break, so we were pleased to welcome many families and students for the first nice days of spring. Despite a few chilly days, and even the occasional April snow flurry, the days were sunny more often than not. Our opening day included two special visits. Included in Alan Fox’s group was the family of the late Joseph G. Kaufmann, who served in the Coast Guard as a motormac aboard USS RAMSDEN DE-382, in WWII. After their father's death, the family arranged for Joe’s personal war memorabilia to be donated to the Museum. Despite the chaos going on in special collections with the restoration work, Dave Pitlyk had all their father’s memorabilia out for them to revisit. A second special guest was our former Board President and Trustee Emeritus, Frank Lasch. It was Frank’s birthday, and he insisted on being brought back to USS SLATER to celebrate. We will be forever indebted to Frank for the ten years he served as our first Albany Board President, and putting SLATER on the sound financial footing that continues to this day. A very pleasant surprise on opening day. Also during the month of April, Shanna Hopson completed her new tour guide training, and passed her evaluation with flying colors.
