Aerograph February, 2006
The Tarheel Chapter held its holiday dinner meeting at 1800 on Saturday, December 3rd at The Trevi restaurant. We were fortunate to have 15 folks present including: Roger and Louise Bissinger, Mike Dickenson, Tom and Pat (“Smitty”) Fitzpatrick, Rudy and Ellie Kittel, John and Carol Raley, Ron and Jean Sweet, Roger and Anne Tanner, and Al and Ellen Upton. It was a bit early in the season for Santa to make an appearance, but all present seemed to enjoy getting together with their former shipmates, etc.
As there is not much to report, I thought I'd share a bit of
naval trivia:

Schooner on the Rocks
In old navy parlance, a “schooner on the rocks” was a
roast of beef surrounded by baked potatoes. (Traditions
