CHAIRMAN’S LETTER  Brother Shipmates,  It’s hard to believe that our 2006 Reunion is behind us already. So much planning and anticipation goes into these weekends, and you ALL provided so much incentive, support and cooperation that it truly felt as a group …. let’s say “family”….event. I am so proud of all you 9 ships-worth of brothers for stepping forward in so many ways. As mentioned from Thursday afternoon onward, “ this is YOUR reunion” and you took ownership. Great to see and experience! You came forward with hands-on set-up, suggestions, encouragement, photo-CDs, plus a Newport Dealeys Color Guard and even a Memorial Bagpiper! This was all terrific and I look ahead to Philadelphia in 2007 for even more “family” involvement.  In fact I will be asking for outstanding “shipmate stories” to add to the well-accepted Captains’ Stories we all enjoyed so much. Yes, even now, weeks afterward, I am receiving phone calls of volunteering, cards of thanks, emails of appreciation and I am so very grateful that you have enjoyed yourselves.Check out the REUNION PHOTOS on the website www.newportdealeys.org. I think the tours of The U. S. Naval Academy  and Washington D. C. were great but we could have used much more time to see everything. Perhaps it might just have tickled you enough to go back on your own someday  for a better look & appreciation. No uncle can be  more proud than I of my neice, Midshipman Emily Vanden Heuvel, for presenting her insight into the typical Middie’s day at The Academy in ’06. She and every other youngster serving this Great Nation of ours makes me proud to be an American! The general consensus was that our Friday business meeting worked so much better than waiting for Saturday that we intend to continue holding it on Friday before dinner. Speaking of Friday, wasn’t it an honor to have the family of a Newport Dealeys Ship’s namesake present for us?  We  thank Elizabeth Hartley, sons and grandson very much.It goes without saying that Mrs. Willis has become an integral part of our “family” and let’s not forget to petition to get the John Harlan Willis postage stamp approved. As an update, you should know that work has begun with regard to quality production of embroidered patches of your new Newport Dealeys Logo which we intend to have available in Philly.  And follow through has begun on an exciting speaker for ’07 who has an interactive presentation we’ll all enjoy. So, we’re not just lollygagging in the great memories of ’06 but working toward an even greater ’07 reunion for us all. If you missed getting an order form or information on obtaining the official illustration of your ship you may contact John Barrett at www.navyyardassociates.net  Thank YOU for making the Newport Dealeys Reunion 2006 so much fun! SHIPMATES FOREVER Jerry Skorch USS Joseph K Taussig Your Chairman for 2007
