Acadia as a Homeless Shelter
Monday, 24 September 2007

Jon Hackworth sent in this article from the Honolulu Advertiser .

Apparently there is a huge amount of interest in Hawaii to use it as homeless shelter and job training facility.  As someone quipped on the Message Board, that sounds rather familiar, only the new occupiers can come and go as they please.

The main hurdle for the people that want to take it over is to prove they can maintain it and pay the bills ( probably not trivial ). 

 
An Acadia shipmate has a book out
Tuesday, 11 September 2007

Shirley James Ellington passed this along:  Rashida Cooper-Haynesworth has a book out called "Grace, Chances and Circumstances".  It's not a Navy oriented book (in case you're wondering).  The ISBN of the book is 1425924654 , which you can punch into any online book seller, etc.

If there is anything that you want to announce, i.e., wrote a book, opened a business, have a car in a car show somewhere, etc., let Mike Connor know (Contact Us at the left). 

 
Atlanta Reunion Cancelled
Wednesday, 18 July 2007

The Atlanta reunion has been canceled.  Instead, the Atlanta crew is thinking of having a cruise (on a cruise ship), trip to a vacation spot, etc., where everyone just meets, that is, you take care of your own accommodations, travel, food, etc., and just meet everyone else there.

They had troubles with people not sending in their money and / or canceling which ultimately made them lose several hundred in deposits.  So, they are not going to plan anything that requires them to handle money any more.

 Look for a survey from Shirley to gauge the interest level in doing a trip or similar.
