Bettie’s By-line
Our
social meeting in Bay City turned out to be a fine time.
Dolores Maillette was the hostess and really had the afternoon
planned. We started at the Lantern Restaurant for a very
filling and good buffet. From there, most of us walked to the
location of the Tall Ships. What a sight! The city had
everything very well organized, which helped us enjoy the day.
If you were not there, you missed a great time.
For
those of you who were not in Bay City, the following are brief
items of news:
-
Jan
Roy lost her mother in early July, and Barbara Grooter lost
her son about the same time.
-
Virginia Maitland has had eye surgery and is recuperating at
home.
-
Dorothy Marsh was in the hospital with heart problems and is
also recuperating.
-
Dorothy Marsh reports that the lap robes given to the Ann
Arbor VA hospital are very much sought after by the patients.
A new emergency medical form is being passed out. Our records
are outdated. In case of an emergency, we need to know whom to
contact and what medication you might need. We have had
trouble locating and communicating with families in case of
illness or death. Please inform next of kin that you belong to
WAVES National and give them
|
names of members to call should they be
needed. (See front page of SHORELINES.)
I hope to see all of you at the All Service
Women’s Luncheon. The flyer did not mention it, but the speaker
will be Lt.Gen Carol Mutter, USMC (Ret).
Anyone who went through Bainbridge will want
to know that the USNTC Bainbridge reunion will be held October
3-5 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is open to all military and
civilian personnel who served there from 1942-76. Contact: Sue
Fischer, PO Box 2313, Westminster, MD 21158.
Marion Grattan has planned the October 20
luncheon. It will be at the Jackson Brewing Company. See you
there if not at the ASWL in September.
Late Flash: Ruth Gaerig reports that
Karen Fussell is in the VA Hospital in Battle Creek. She will be
there for a month or two. Send cards to: Karen Fussell, VA
Medical Center—Women’s Ward, 5500 Armstrong Road, Battle Creek,
MI 49016 -Bettie

Michigan State Fair
Jan Roy and Bettie Johnson attended Armed
Services Day at the Michigan State Fair. Following a
concert by the Motor City Brass, a wreath was laid at the
Veterans Monument and the name of the “Veteran of the
Year” announced. Bettie said she is hoping for a larger
delegation next year by publicizing the event earlier. |
