USS FULTON-AS-11 ASSOCIATION

NEWSLETTER Volume XIX Issue 6 Jan. Feb, Mar., 2018

President’s Message Greetings to all our Fulton family and friends. Much has gone one out here in the Nebraska “Tundra” since the last Newsletter.

Many snow storms, ice storms, and a blizzard or two. This has caused a lot of storms to run out east creating the North Easters for the folks up in New England.

The Reunion planning is well under way and is beginning to yield much. I am still working on a special guest speaker for the banquet. I hope it is very special for our membership as well.

Cathy has been a great help in keeping me on track with the FULTON reunion planning.

Of late I have come down with a severe case of a cold followed by bronchitis and is now a sinus infection. I most likely got this mung from all the mail handling at the Post Office…Cathy thanks me at least 4-5 time a day for passing it along.

This issue contains a rather large section of condolences. While searching for information regarding Flags, Obituaries for FULTON crew members came up…most of which have never been memorialized.

Again, the Reunion will be held at the Omaha Comfort Inn and Suites on 7007 Grover Street, Omaha, NE.68106. Reserve your stay directly with the Hotel. Call 402-934-4900 and ask for the USS FULTON reunion dates 12 Sept. thru 16 Sept. 2018…

Chaplain’s Corner

Wow, 2018… 18 years after Y2K,

when everything was to come to a

screeching halt. Somehow, the

computers and everything else seem to

just keep chugging along, as we roll

into a new year.

We will have a series of new

benchmarks ending in "18." For Julie

and me, the youngest grandson, David,

will be 18.

We will all have new birthdays to

celebrate, graduations and weddings to

attend, and at least one reunion to

attend.

This year -- as other years -- we will

have a time for razing, a time for

mending, a time for mourning, a time

for rejoicing, a time for forgiving and

forgetting, and a time for remembering.

There were three things that started me

on this train of thought: (1) the reunion

in Omaha, Nebraska, (2) the end of

World War I on November 11, 1918,

and (3) Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3.

New England Breakfast Bunch

The New England Breakfast Bunch got

together at the Mohegan Sun Casino of the

Earth’s Season’s Buffet on Wednesday at

0930 for breakfast on 10 January 2018.

Everyone paid their own way in. We sit

together and tell sea stories and fairy-tales,

until the time someone had to depart, then we

take a group photograph of the BK-Brunch for

the next newsletter. You do not have to be a

member to participate. Wives, Friends, etc.

are welcomed.

Our next get-together will be 11 April 2018.

The Lord is my pilot, I shall not go adrift. He

guides my passage across dark waters. He

steers me through deep channels. He Keeps

my log. He pilots me by the evening star for

my safety’ sake.

Yea, though I sail amid the thunders and

tempest of life, I shall fear no peril, for He is

with me. The vastness of His sea upholds me.

Surely fair winds and safe harbors Shall be

found, and I shall moor, fast and secure,

forever.

Cards, Letters and other news from

our Fulton Family Cathy and I just received a letter from Mrs

Clyda Phillips. “We have received

information concerning the upcoming reunion

for the Fulton Association. It is with much

sadness that I must tell you that my husband

Clemit Phillips passed away on December 29,

2016. He served in the US Navy from

December, 1950 until October, 1954 and his

rank was FP2. He loved serving aboard the

Fulton. Thank you for all you do in planning

the reunions and I hope this upcoming one will

be a happy time for all who attends.” Very

truly yours Clyda…”
