F.Y.I.

My ISP blocks bulk mailings over a certain size, and also the number of mailings in a limited time period.  All active addresses on the email distribution list are divided roughly into four parts and then
the times sent are staggered.   

To find the email address for any specific individuals consult the "Roster" pages.


ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER:
CLEVER BOY was chosen as the newsletter's name because it is Sabalo's voice communication call sign.

The USS Sabalo Association charges no dues for membership, or other costs of communication.  Our newsletter is available to all those who have a known email or postal address, including
hard copies to those who have opted for same. The expenses for the newsletter and the web site are covered strictly by voluntary donations from Sabalo shipmates who help preserve the camaraderie, and keep all men informed of any activities, and the whereabouts of all Sabalo vets.

 EDITOR EMERITUS- Ronald D.Gorence QMC(SS),Ret. (aboard Sabalo '66-70)   Ron had volunteered during the September 2009 reunion in San Diego to be Chief Editor of a new and expanded version of the Sabalo newsletter.  His gathering of topics of interest, and his own penchant for recounting sea stories made the 28 issues he composed, printed and distributed a much enjoyed, free subscription by many.  His inclusions covered any reunion news, information about shipmates, submarine news items of interest, and some sea stories from others, scuttlebutt and a few jokes too.
  It is with sadness to report the passing of  our esteemed shipmate.    He succumbed to his long battle with cancer on 20 April 2018.  As most of you know from our newsletters, he had been battling cancer his last few years, first colon, then lung.  His last report was that these both were not detected at his last exam.  He had been incommunicado starting late March 2018, so on a hunch, I searched the internet and found his obituary one week after he died. The report I have received from his family is that the final problem was metastasis to the brain.
SAILOR, REST YOUR OAR
