FINAL PATROL ANNOUNCEMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted by: Sam Eddy ssbn619gold@yahoo.com or sameddy1@mindspring.com =================================================================== Final Patrol http://www.ussvi.org/final.htm Drawbridge, James January 2003 Hughes, William R. 22 December 2002 Sailors rest your oars =================================================================== ITEM-02 .... NATIONAL COMMANDERS AWARD HAS A NEW NAME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted by: John Peters petersj007@hawaii.rr.com =================================================================== January 13, 2003: Following the National Board of Directors vote, the AYES have it and the National Commanders Award has a new name. The Robert Link National Commanders Award. The winner is selected by the current NC and this award will honor the memory of our FIRST National Commander, Bob Link. The Robert Link National Commanders Award. This is our (USSVI) version of a “Letter of Commendation.” The nomination, selection, and presentation of this award is solely the National Commanders’ discretion and it is awarded to an individual Member, Base or Group for special recognition by the National Commander. WHO WAS BOB LINK? Bob Link was one of the guys who was on the ground floor of establishing SV WWII in 1955, and was the Second National Commander. Later on in 1962 - 1964, he was very heavily involved with getting USSVI started. He and Joe Negri worked side by side, and they did just as much to start this organization. Bob probably did more in starting the organization than Joe did simply because Joe was deployed to the Med for most of the late part of 1963, and Early 1964 while USSVI was getting started. But if you read the USSVI history, there is very little mention of Bob Link from Abescon NJ. But because of this guy two great organizations were formed to remember other Submarine heroes from WWII and the past. But unfortunately Bob was from NJ and not CT. Bob didn't persuade the membership to buy a club house that was later named for him like Joe did. Bob Link basically faded into oblivion, because no one really made an effort to keep his spirit alive. No body treated him like a hero like Joe Negri was. Until today, there was no Bob Link Award in USSVI but now we will keep his memory alive through The Robert Link National Commanders Award, just as we do for Joe Negri. Thank the Groton Base CDR John "Gumba" Carcioppolo for reminding us of Bob Link's contribution to starting USSVI. Aloha John D.

LATEST INFORMATION ON RENO CONVENTION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted by: Don Brown donbrownss322@sbcglobal.net =================================================================== January 17, 2003 From: DONALD F BROWN Subject: RENO 2003 This is the latest information concerning the Joint National Convention to be held in Reno, NV September 2 - 5, 2003. The host base for USSVI is CORVINA Base in Reno, with Don Brown as Co-chairman. The host chapter for USSVWWII is Las Vegas Chapter, with Paul Dornberg as Co-chairman. The convention has 1300 rooms blocked off at the Reno Hilton (host hotel) and as of this date, over two-thirds have been reserved, so don't procrastinate. We are approaching 45 boat reunions, which I believe is a record or close to it. I am sure that other boats are planning reunions that haven't been posted to this site. For your convenience, all of the convention functions (with the exception of the golf outing) will be held at the host hotel. As the old song goes, "See You In September" Don E-mail: donbrownss322@sbcglobal.net --------------------------- USSVI page updated is: http://www.ussvi.org/reno.htm ------------------------------------------ SpecialSend Item from 18 January 2003 ------------------------------------------ =================================================================== ITEM-11 ....

JUST A SIMPLE SUGGESTION TO ALL USSVI BASES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted by: Sid Harrison webmaster@ussvi.org =================================================================== RE: All that info in the USSVI SUBMARINE MEMORIAL LOCATOR FILE http://www.ussvi.org/mem/submem.htm From time to time I receive notices about changes to USSVI MEMORIAL sites. Often the info pertains to some changes which is old news (except in the website) I would suggest that with the many bases located around the country that y'all occasionally check the Memorial sites that are listed within your geographic areas and see if the data presented in the "LOCATOR FILE" (linked above) is as up-to-date as possible. What has changed? What has been added or removed? - or just moved? Also if you find additional history about the site such, as who put it there? and when? And don't forget to verify location/contact info such as the ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBERS etc. This includes ALL types of memorial sites from that plaque-on-a-wall or torpedo-on-a-rock to that memorial bench, ball park, pier or building. Whatever is out there. The intent of the SUBMARINE MEMORIAL LOCATOR FILE is to... well... to LOCATE. And we want the info provided to do a credible job of that --- to provide the latest and most reliable location information that we can. Whatever you find, send it to webmaster@ussvi.org =================================================================== ITEM-16 ....
