SICK BAY

Received the following email from Betty Culp, wife of our shipmate, Jack Culp,  “R” Division 1957-1958
    Jack will be having lung surgery on December 5th.  They will be taking out the bottom lobe of his right lung.  They will test it while he is under to see if it is cancer and if it is they will take the lymph nodes out at that time.  Will let you know more later, Betty

       Our prayers are with you Betty and Jack, hope all goes well!

  USS WISCONSIN 10TH BI-ANNUAL CRUISE
Even though we will have a short article on our next cruise in the Badger, I thought I might remind members that deadlines for signing up are getting closer.  Our cruise on Carnival Glory will sail from Port Canaveral on the 25th of April.  It is a 7 night cruise with port calls at Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten.  Cruise prices range from$370 per person for an inside cabin (no windows) to $500 per person for a cabin with a picture window and $670 per person for a cabin with a balcony.    Port taxes and Federal Fees are extra.  We want to remind all hands that this cruise has been designated "The Lil Menta Memorial Cruise "in honor of the tremendous amount of work that she did for our association.  All funds earned from this cruise will be donated to the Association in Lil's Memory.
If you have any questions, e-mail Dick Hamann at dickbb64@aol.com  or call him at 804-265-5417
