USS Haddo Base

Newly elected officers assumed their offices during the June meeting. Adm. Eytchison swore in our new incoming base commander, Thom Peschke. Our new secretary, Stephany Peschke, also assumed her duties. Let’s all give Thom and Stephany our support. They are biting off a lot.
In addition, Charles Kelley and Van McAdams re-upped for another tour of duty as the Vice Commander and Treasurer respectively.

Twenty-two shipmates and spouses were present at our May meeting to watch Vice Commander Charles Kelley induct Jerry Lundquist and Douglas Drake into the Holland Club. Jerry qualified in 1976 on the Dace SSN-607. Doug also qualified in 1976 on the Benjamin Franklin, SSBN-640. Jerry’s wife Patricia and Doug’s wife Cindy were present to watch the induction of their husbands. Other Holland Club members attending were Bill Bouman, Frank DeMaio, Van McAdams (not pictured), Dave McRoberts, Brian Meagher, Thom Peschke, Mike Reese, and Mike Stracke.
