Happy New Year Shipmates!

Well, there has been a lot of change in the Casperson household since I took over the Secretary/Treasurer responsibilities from the hard working and outstanding mentor, Tom Miovas. It took us more time to transition as I was bouncing between two homes in the west and a new construction in central Florida since June. By the time you read this we will have closed on our home in Saint Cloud and perhaps sold our 30+ year home/life in Cali fornia. Because mailing addresses have been unstable and I don’t have the latest bank information at my fingertips, the info below will be updated in the next Aerograph. Please send payments, renewals, to the address below my name instead of Tom’s. Tom continues to support us as an assistant Secretary/Treasurer. We continue to be in great financial shape with the following breakdown from earlier:

The Association is holding a total of $41,180.23 as follows:

        Life Members fund =                 $1,450.94
        Scholarship fund =                           $0.00
        Reunion fund =                          $3,810.75
        General fund =                              $561.64
        In the Check book =                   $5,823.33
        Three CDs for a total of $35,356.90
