TO MY SHIPMATES IN THE NORTHEAST & NEW YORK AREA, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR NOT GETTING BACK TO YOU BEFORE NOW. DUE TO SOME MEDICAL PROBLEMS, I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP YOU POSTED REGARDING ASSOCIATION BUSINESS. I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER NOW AND WANT TO KEEP ALL OF OUR SHIPMATES UP- TO -DATE. .AS YOU KNOW AT OUR LAST NATIONAL REUNION HELD IN BOSTON, IT WAS DECIDED TO BREAK-UP OUR ASSOCIATION INTO FIVE AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. THEY WERE AS FOLLOWS;

NORTHEAST & NEW YORK-- CHAIRMAN-STEVE PICCOLO

MIDATLANTIC ------------------ CHAIRMAN-ANTHONY FACCONE

SOUTHEAST--------------- --------—CHAIRMAN-ED DUFFY

NORTHWEST-----------------------CHAIRMAN-AL SKARET

SOUTHWEST------------------------CHAIRMAN-HAROLD WALKER

THIS DID NOT WORK OUT , CHAIRMAN OF THE NORTHWEST & SOUTHWEST HAVE RESIGNED AND THE SOUTHEAST CHAIRMAN ED DUFFY HAS DIED. ALL OF THESE AREAS HAVE SINCE BEEN TURNED OVER TO ME. I FELT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A NATIONAL REUNION AT THIS TIME. THIS WOULD GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TOGETHER WHILE WE ARE STILL ABLE TO MEET WITH ALL OF OUR SHIPMATES AND TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF OUR ASSOCIATION.
