Our Alumni House email list is not up to date and this is an appeal to each of you to get online and update your information. This is very important for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is routine communications. On the other end, emergency contact needs arise from time to time.

Many people have changed their email addresses, mailing addresses, rank, telephone number, etc., without notifying the Alumni Staff. For example, every chapter is listed with contact information but much of the contact information (email address, etc.) is missing or out of date. One Chapter Secretary's name is listed but his phone and email are not, even though he contacts alumni regularly by email. If someone new in the area wanted to join by contacting him, they couldn't. Shipmate never seems to have all correct and up to date Chapter information, and this is largely because we have not communicated changes to Alumni House.

Every alumnus in the Alumni Association's database is listed with their rank, address, phone, email address, etc. This information is readily available to all of us simply by going to our web site "Alumni Only" section, which is dynamically updated from the database. The 1999 Register does not have email addresses and has some errors. It would be great if the information on individuals in our web site were correct and up-to-date!! It would help prospective new chapter members and everyone else if the information on each chapter were correct and up-to-date. This can only happen if each of us provides the Staff the correct information.

I request each of you to go to our web site and update your personal information. It's easy. Here's how you do it. First, go to the web site by clicking on:

http://www.usna.com/

Then go to "Alumni Only". Log in. You will need a user name and password. Once you have established this, the site will remember your password if you ask it to. Go to "Update your profile". Then fill in all the blanks. Right now, you cannot update your rank, although rank is in the database. However, sometime in January, this capability will be added to the "Update Profile" section.

If you are a Chapter officer, send Mardy Laabs mardy.laabs@usna.com an email and ask her to update your information in the Chapter section after you have updated your profile.

When you finish, look around on our web site. It has all kinds of interesting and useful information.

GO NAVY!! BEAT EVERYBODY!!!

Very Respectfully,
Leonard R. Wass '64
