Jim Cozine has spend a considerable amount of time with the aid of complex computer programs to update the roster of current and past members of the PROVIDENCE Association.  The update includes  current address, phone numbers, cell numbers, email addresses, dates on board, division and rank /rate.  This is an exhausting process, which will be on-going for some time.   Therefore, I ask that you use the "change form" in this newsletter to update your file.   You can also use the form to provide names and last known address of your shipmates who are not currently members of the Association. 

Form can be sent to me at:  Jim Chryst, 34 Snyder Hollow Rd, New Providence, Pa.    17560'

Last month Dick Zweber and I sent out 750+ mailers to all data base  shipmates, in the hope of obtaining additional members for the Association.     So far this has been a very successful venture,  in that we received many past due payments, 56 new members, and 22 new Facebook members..   I encourage you to get involved, so we can continue to grow the Association.
