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. |

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.

The 1992 Cruisbook is the latest addition courtesy of Arrington Leonard (Lenny). Its layout is a little goofy and it has numerous errors. If you don't see someone in the department/division they should be in, go to the next page (or three). You'll quickly figure out what they did. They are usually good errors though; according to the book, OS2 Heath made Chief in just 6 months! Way to go Jamie! To see a full size, bigger than your screen image, click on the image until it goes full size. At that point, you can read the pages.
If you have the other years, let us know! |
