SICKBAY

Betty Culp sent in the following

Just to let everybody know.  Jack will be having his lung surgery on Friday (today) and then his aneurysm will be done in one to two weeks, depending on his recovery.  They aneurysm is as big as a baseball so it is very necessary to get it out as soon as possible.  Will let you all know how everything turns out.  Betty

  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
