Text Box: Shipmates:  Happy New Year!  Hard to believe it’s 2006, isn’t it?  Seems like just yesterday we were entering the 21st century and our biggest worries were the dot com implosion and how Y2K would affect our computers.  Certainly the latter didn’t happen, but plenty else has.  I’m not much on resolutions, but I do have a couple of hopes for 2006.  I hope we can get past the political divisiveness and come closer together as a nation.  I hope we are successful in installing a stable democracy in Iraq and can bring our military home.  And I hope we stand resolute in the war on terror and do whatever is necessary to secure our borders.  Seems like a lot to ask for, but if we all keep the faith, we can make it happen. Looking forward to the October reunion in Corpus, we have some exciting events planned.  Details on times, costs, etc., will be published in the April newsletter, but you can look forward to the following:                USS Lexington (CV-16) tour               The Texas State Aquarium               Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History               Dinner cruise               And much more You might check out www.usslexington.com.  This website gives complete details about the Lady Lex as well as area attractions.  Start making your plans to attend now, and call a couple of your shipmates who have been “UA” on past reunions and encourage them to attend.  Finally, best wishes for a great year in 2006.  See you all in October.  Jim Dunn (LT 1967-70) President
