'85 & '87 Cruisebooks should be coming soon.
Monday, 22 May 2006
Look for  cruisebooks from 1985 and 1987 (Stark episode) to show up in the next month.  Wally Cox has an '85 book and Craig Lowe has an '87 book.  That'll leave just the 1994 book-- anybody?
 
The Acadia might be used as a shelter / vocational college
Sunday, 07 May 2006

A lady named Cyndi Seitz from Hawaii sent me this link:  www.khnl.com/Global/story.asp?s=4835257

A movement is afoot to convert the ship into a homeless shelter and more or less of a vocational college.  They figure it'll take about $600k, less than the cost of a typical Hawaii house.  Training people in metal/sheetmetal working, mechanics, electrical, etc. sounds like a good use of the ship.

Cyndi also suggested that it would be a great place to hold reunions.  Perhaps they'll save the Officers Mess for use as a ballroom. 

Reminder: The reunion in Atlanta is in early June this year.  Send an email asap to ussacadia at hotmail dot com if you want to go. 

 
Help spread the word...
Monday, 24 April 2006

If you have a web site that you can add a link to ussacadia.org on, please do so.  Doing so will help with search engine placement.  It's ridiculous to have sites that are commercial and/or designed to sell advertising coming out on top when "uss acadia" is searched for.

 In other news, the gallery is growing nicely with Andrea's latest additions.

Still looking for atleast two more cruisebooks.  There should be atleast one (probably two) between 1983 and 1988, and the last one, in 1994.  If you have one/some of these, please contact us; all you have to do is send it in or shoot it yourself if you have the right kind of camera equipment.

If you'd like to write articles, announcements, and such on this site, contact us.  As always, if you have some graphic arts / programming muscle muscle you'd like to flex, you're welcome to flex them here.
