approval on his end which allows the Navy to pay part of the transportation cost.
George Bruss, said that he has firmed up the dinner arrangements for Monday evening at Bone's
restaurant and that he is working with Hal Dulle to finalize the BBQ arrangements for Saturday
morning.
Old Business; None.
New Business; Melody asked Steve Schlueter if it was possible to send payment to the Captain
for the airline tickets for the crew since he had found a cheaper price on Expedia web site. Steve
indicated that there were several methods that could be used to allow the Captain to purchase the
tickets and then to be repaid out of the trust fund.
