         what to do with several that have seen much better times and cannot be made useable without major expenditure. Any suggestions?
    
         If you have not yet submitted your e-mail address to the Alumni Assoc. please do so. They have instituted a class e-mail capability which will be very useful for reunion communication. Log on to usna.com and click on Alumni Only. If you have not yet registered, do so. You can then click on the "update your profile" button. Update the other information if required.  If for some reason you do not wish to share this information, e-mail it to the address above and it will be included in the 46 Reunion database, but not provided to any other parties. It will not result in your receiving fundraising appeals!
