I made another trip to the USS Croaker with fellow shipmate John Williams. The following is what was done.
1.) Opened all doors and hatches, ventilated the boat using installed fan in overhead of Crew's Mess.
2.) Made tour below decks, checking all bilge levels and condition of each compartment. Some bilge's had an accumulation of oil which I plan to remove soon, to better monitor levels. Conditions of all compartments were satisfactory.
3.) John Williams took several pictures to document how she has been looking.

I am looking at recruiting more individuals for the Croaker Restoration Committee.
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the committee, please contact me either via e-mail (kwojtanik@netzero.net) or call me (716) 668 2455.
Keep in mind, I am looking more at those individuals who are located in the Buffalo area due to the fact that I conduct a committee meeting every month outside of our Buffalo Base monthly meetings. If you are not from the Buffalo area and you are still interested on joining the committee, you are more than welcome.
The four areas the this committee will be concentrating on are Fundraising, Publicity, Preservation & Restoration, and Tours & Exhibits.
