UASC Members:
I'm sure the minutes from the November meeting will be posted soon, but in the meantime there are a few items of information I wanted to get out to everyone right away, most of which were announced at the meeting for those who were there, but some of which have changed slightly since then. In more or less chronological order:

Meeting Minutes 30 May 2012
General
- Approximately 33 members and guests met at 6:30 on the 8th floor of the Helix Building, 310 S. Racine at Jackson.
Guest Speaker
- Our special guest this month is Sargent Ray Mazzola of the Chicago Police Marine Unit. Ray has been a certified diver since 1963, and has been assigned to the marine unit since 1977, during which time he has been involved in countless underwater search and recovery operations throughout the Chicagoland area, including but not limited to great expanses of Lake Michigan. I expect we can all learn a thing or two from Ray about searching for ( historical ) artifacts on the lake bottom, as well as hearing some very interesting stories of some of the searches he has been involved in and some of the interesting things he has found during his long history of diving Chicago area waters.
Bonus Presentation
- This evening's Bonus Speaker was past UASC President, Tony Kiefer. He reviewed many of the finer points of wooden ship construction, especially as it applied to Great Lakes saiing vessels. Of special note was his primary reference work "Wooden Ship Building" by Charles Desmond. Originally published in 1919, reprints are available.
- Tonight's meeting was conducted by our President, John Bell. Refreshments were provided by Margo and Chuck Miller.
