Okay Bob,
Here’s a little bit of notes from the meeting. It was really fun and informative. Hope we can have more
of this kind of stuff. Take care.
Meeting was called to order by president Joe McCleary. There were approximately 18 members attending.
Joe led the members in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Carolyn Milder was acknowledgedfor her August
birthday and was presented a card signed by all the members.A prayer was given by Robert ?? and then
the meeting was adjourned for the meal.
After the meal the meeting was reconvened. John Steelman gave a report on membership status.
There was no change in the chapter membership number as we gained one member and Charter member
Leonard Sternadel transferred to the Schulenburg chapter. John recognized Leonard and his wife
Dana for their service to the chapter and helping to make it a success.
Joe then led off a presentation of “What Did You Do in The War Daddy?” in which the Chapter
Officers and Directors gave a brief informational summary of how they got to Vietnam, the
branch of service they served in, what were they trained for and what did they really do
when they got there. It was a lot of fun and enjoyed by all members. Most agreed that the
main reason they attend the Chapter functions is to be around guys who understand their
Vietnam experiences.(Joe McCleary,Larry Munroe, John Steelman, Louis Milder, Augie Limas, Billy Orsak).
Meeting adjourned.
