And thanks to Lee Fadem , Class 8 , lfadem10@aol.com , for the following:

UNIVERSAL LAWS

1. Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

2. Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

3. Law of Probability -The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act

4. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

5. Law of the Alibi - If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire..

6. Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

7. Law of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

8. Law of Close Encounters -The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

9. Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

12. The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

14. Law of Physical Surfaces - The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich
landing face down on a floor, are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet or rug.

18. Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.

19. Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.

Current goings on

Please Note the Sidebar over on right side has a lot of Titles but most are empty as I set them up months ago for all of us to start adding to, as the current Ancient Mariner site hosted on my http://www.starsstripesshop.us/ domain name and placed on Goggle's server is slated by Goggle to be changed but for now I'm not sure how much or if anything will survive.

2010 Reunion planning for Las Vegas, NV end of September. Reunion Chairman is Rev. Bob Stover (CL 24).

Dear Rev. Bob:

As we approach the this years Reunion I would like to provide a dissertation for the financial considerations thereof.

On my review of the funding arrangements of the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2009 and my actual managing the 2007 and 2008 Reunions' funding.

I have used the information to set the concept for 2010 Reunion financial matters. To Wit:

The registration fee charged the attendees will in no way be expected cover what the overall expenses will be for all the tour events, social festivities, entertainment, meals and incidentals deemed necessary and as arranged by you the Reunion Chairman in your efforts toward a successful 2010 Reunion.

This of course means that the Alumni Group Treasury will be actually subsidizing a major portion of the overall expenses as necessary, just and prudent in conducting the only major annual function of the organization.

Most sincerely,

Bob Burke

The following 2010 Annual Reunion Registration Notice was sent out by U.S. Mail during the week of 19 July to 470 members on the Roster. So far four have been returned stating Forward Time EXP but the P.O. was kind enough to annotate them with the new address thus allowing us to resend them with another 44cent stamp. Also several deceased notices have come in.

Here though is what composed the 1st mailing of 416

Great cap and polo shirts with Ancient Mariner logo are now available for purchase at attractive prices and includes free shipping provided by your Alumni Group. Here are the details_Your USNRMSAG organization has made arrangements with the Queensboro Shirt Co. to provide caps, tee shirts, polo shirts and other articles of apparel as well as miscellaneous of their products with the Ancient Mariner logo. You can use this link to view the full line of products http://www.queensboro.com/s/mariner

In order to make purchases directly from Queensboro, one must purchase at least 4 items at one time. Payment for articles ordered directly from Queensboro will be made to Queensboro.

Preferrably and to order less than 4 articles a member should do so by placing his order by email to member Bob Evans, class 14, at rrlkevans@sunflower.com Bob will accumulate orders to make the minimum, so listed prices of Queensboro Twill Caps @ $6.95 and Two-Ply Pocket Polo Shirts @ $14.95 are expected to be less as Bob will take advantage of Sales or Discounts when offered. Prices for the articles will be at cost from Queensboro and the USNRMSAG treasury will cover the cost of shipping mdse to Bob’s home and from Lawrence, KS to the buyers shipping address. Payment for articles ordered through Bob Evans can be by check made payable to “USNRMSAG” and sent to Assistant Treasurer Cdr. Bob Burke at 628 S. Burbank St., Ridgecrest CA 93555.

Please note it is planned to provide members attending the 2009 Reunion in Washington, D.C. with one of these caps. So if you buy one in the meantime and attend the Reunion you’ll receive another or else a refund of what you paid earlier, your choice.

The following pictures provided by Maria Morris-Burke show the Ancient Mariner logo displayed on the two items mentioned above ---

Big attraction for many members is to receive the weekly Ancient Mariner "Sunday Log" and the accompanying Mariner's Midweek which are emailed to a subscribers list. The Editor of both is Gene Barber, Class 26. Will leave it here for Gene to tell you how to subscribe and perhaps publish some of the multitude of Thanks he receives for his efforts.
