President’s Message

Here we are again at the end of summer. Maybe you

traveled or had others travel to visit you. Maybe you just

stayed in the air conditioning and relaxed. Whatever you

did, I hope you had a pleasant time.

Now as we begin the fall season, think about what you can

do with your time; something positive with your energy.

Think about taking an office. We are still looking for

someone to fill the Executive Vice President’s office of

NGAA West. It involves planning programs for our four

luncheons, buying the wine for table prizes and planning

the “entertainment”. This could be a singer or an

informative speaker… or maybe you have new ideas.

And if you belong to NGAA West for bowling or golf,

remember that your leagues exist because of the parent

organization. So how about stepping up to do your part?

Officers change at the December luncheon, so we need to

find someone now. Let me know if you’re the one. We

need a Vice President. --Marilyn Chryst

Executive VP Remarks

Our entertainment at our September luncheon will be Derek

Morgan and his Country Western Band. At this meeting we

will need to vote on our revised by-laws. Everyone was

provided a copy in the June newsletter. Please look these

over before our September luncheon.

I hope everyone had a memorable summer. As stated in the

newsletter, from June 21st to the 26th I rode my bike from

St. Charles to Clinton Missouri on the Katy Trail. The ride

was very enjoyable. I had the opportunity to see our state in

a different light.

At the end of July my son Frank Jr. and I, with our kayak

and canoe, spent a few days floating the Black River into

Clearwater Lake. We enjoyed a lazy day at the lake with

my daughters Susan and Sarah, and in August we will

spend time with seven of our ten grandchildren. As our

children get older it is harder and harder to get everyone

together at one time, so we do what we can, making and

enjoying memories for a lifetime.

As we approach December and our election of officers, we

need more of our members to step up to the plate and fill

these offices. I will not be able to serve you as president

next year without an Executive Vice President. We

desperately need your help in filling this and our other

offices as they open up. You can make a difference. The

NGAA West Chapter needs YOU! --Frank Aufmuth

June Luncheon Notes

The June Luncheon for NGAA West members was held on

June 22 at Pietro’s. Marilyn Chryst, President, led us in the

Pledge of Allegiance, and Andrew Jackson in the

invocation. There were thirty-five members and guests at

the meeting. Befitting the time of year, this was a “light”

luncheon, and we hope for better attendance in September.

Our featured speaker was Ann Lowery of the AARP

Speakers Bureau. She discussed current fraud trends and

practices in the St. Louis area and distributed copies of the

AARP Watchdog Alert Handbook—Thirteen Ways Con

Artists Steal Your Money, a list that includes identify fraud,

investment fraud and other common scams. Some

recommended ways to protect yourself against fraud

include 1) protecting your social security number and other

personal information, 2) monitoring your bills, financial

statements and reports on your credit, 3) protecting

personal information numbers (PINs) and passwords, 4)

being skeptical of phone calls or emails that say they are

from your bank or the IRS, and from door-to-door sales

people and 6) protecting your incoming and outgoing mail.

The 50/50 winners were Les Kemp, Bob Eddy. Casey

Szpak, Kathy Pozzo, Bob Meinhardt (2), JoAnn Moran, Jimmy Boyd and Paulette Martin.

Helen Stephens Recognized

Jessica Daues of NGA's Office of Corporate

Communications has written a story about 1936 Gold

Medal Olympian Champion Helen Stephens, based on

input from former ACIC / DMA employees who remember

Helen, the “Fulton Flash” in those Berlin games of 80 years

ago, who later worked for many years as a research librarian

at 3200 South Second Street.

The story is on the NGA web page, www.nga.mil

9/11 Remembered. Family Day Hosted

On September 12 NGA conducted a “9-11 Recollections"

event at NGA headquarters and at 3200 South Second

Street. The remembrance event featured recollections and

discussions, and was moderated by NGA historian Dr. Gary

Weir. James Clapper, NGA director at that time, appeared

in a taped presentation.

On Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., NGA

West was scheduled to host another NGA Family Day

NGAA West members were invited to both events. Since

they involved classified information, those attending were

asked to complete security information.

Negative Engravers

Rich Egan

Once again a few Negative Engravers, still breathing, met

and reminisced at El Maguey Restaurant in Concord Plaza.

The June attendees were Libby Lanning, Don Lippold, John

Carty, Harry Lemakis and Rich Egan.

Most of the talk these days is about aches and pains and

elections. One of this group would like to nominate Benito

Mussolini for U.S President, if he is available,

The group met again on July 14th at El Maguey .The Fab

Five again were the attendees. These faithful ones were

John Carty, Don Lippold, Libby Lanning, Harry Lemakis

and yours truly. Once again the main topic of conversation

was the upcoming elections.

Loud screams were heard as various predictions were

stated, and the Mexican managers expressed their

nervousness. Perhaps next month, we hoped, everyone

would be happy.

Our August meeting was held at El Maguey's on Thursday,

August 11th. The attendees were Larry Weisz, Libby

Lanning, Don Lippold, Millie Jackson, Pat Dickie, Kent

Kenniston and John Carty.

It was great to see the ladies return to join in the

conversations. A couple of guys, Larry and Kent, also

returned,

Next month the luncheon will be on September 8th at the

same place. Everyone is welcome. The Dos Equis and

Margaritas are always ice cold.

Chart Plant Employee Roster still available online

The list of more than 18,000 ACIC and DMAAC

employees from 1950 until 2004 is still available on the

NGAA West Home Page, but is now in the “Members

Home” section available to members only.

The list shows a first and last name, whether the

individual worked for ACIC, DMAAC or both, whether

they are living, dead or “unknown” (in some cases), the

section or branch where they worked (in some cases), the

separation date (in some cases) and the date the

information was entered.

To see the list, go to the NGAA West home page,

http://www.ngaawest.org and look for “Members Home”;

scroll down to the “NEWS” section and look for “cper

list.”

Sappington Post Office Named for Bill Riordan’s

Grandson

Pat Wiese notes that on July 6 the Sappington Post Office

at 11662 Gravois Road was renamed the Lt. Daniel P.

Riordan Post Office Building. Lieutenant Riordan, 24, was

killed June 23, 2007 at age 24 while serving as a tank

commander in Iraq. He was the grandson of the late Bill

Riordan, well known to NGAA West members.

At the June

luncheon Lou

Decker, wearing a

jacket he and his

team were

awarded in 1964,

gave a short

account of the

many games

played and won

by ACIC and

DMAAC teams in

the St. Louis

Industrial

Softball League

during the 1960’s

and ‘70s.
