COMMANDER'S CORNER

OCTOBER 2007

Ahoy there mates!

I want to thank all of you who came to the reunion this past April in Cocoa Beach, Florida.A good time was had by all of us.The planners for this gathering did a SUPER job at puting together another very successful weekend. The Friday night pool deck party and the Saturday night banquet with all the raffles and the auctions went off  just perfectly.Special thanks to Dale Presley for a great job with all the items he had to lug around.

I look forward to working with the rest of the board to keep the Bancroft Association moving ahead with all that will be taking place. We are looking at starting a "mail out " Bancroft newsletter and we are also working at selecting a possible location for the next reunion that will be somewhere else beside the East coast of the USA. Would you travel to San Diego, or Bremerton, Washington or possibly down to Buloxi, Miss. for the next one? These are areas where some guys have volunteered to check into the hotels and surrounding areas for having our next reunion. We will be in touch when it is time to choose and possibly do an "online poll" to see which location the membership would like best.

In the meantime, keep checking the website for information and stay in touch with your latest e-mail and home address.

      Good Sailing!
