Comments:
Walt Jones mentioned that someone apparently has been hacking our membership roster and pretending to be a member recommending weight loss products and other items. Just be aware!
President Bruce commented about the recent launching of the USS Zumwalt, the newest class of Navy destroyers. The
USS Zumwalt sports advanced technology and a stealthy shape designed to minimize its visibility on radar and reduce
the size of the crew. It took 20 years to build.
