Shipmate: all of you should be getting into the VA for you prescriptions and all the help that you can receive. You will be on a co-pay of 8.00 per prescription, Per month. I hope all of you check this out. It will save you money. Then if you need more help from VA you will be in the computer. What ever you save you can send to me. I will put it to good use. I also have a bridge to sell.
Dennis Shipman finally received word from VA, that he will be service connected on this Colon cancer. Keep your appeals going. Any Veteran that is service connected can have free camping in Oregon Parks for 10 days. Then you will have to move and then you can have 10 more days.
I hope that most of you are in good health just minor aches and pains.
The Post office some times sends me the remains of a newsletter with out any of the address remaining. If you don't receive a newsletter please let me know and you will get one. I put them out every other month.
Call someone closed to you and meet for coffee. Take a trip and knock on some shipmate's door. Anyone getting close to my neck of the woods has a place to visit, spend the night or two or three, and have a meal. The price is your Tales. Does anyone have a Ship's patch that we can get a copy from. If we can, I will get some patch's made for the Shipmates.
I hope I got everyone who asked for videos and cards. If I forgot some shipmate please let me know. Received from shipmates to go to the museum in WA. A Cigarette Lighter, I have been told that I would get the U.S. flag that flew on her to be decommissioned and the ensign
The yearly fee will be $15.00 for the newsletter and address list. This is not mandatory. If you want an address list at the beginning of the year you will have to pay the yearly dues of $ 15.00. Please, when you send a check make it out to Fred Schafer. That way I can cash it. Put in the lower port (left for the ones who have forgotten) box for Chipola fund or newsletter. Thank you.
