Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2010 PSUBS Conference - Ft. Pierce, FL

** PLEASE READ **

It's far past time for an update on the convention and after moving past 
a couple of issues I expect to send regular bi-monthly updates from this 
point out.

First, I am still looking for speakers.  Dan Lance pointed out to me 
that I gave an incorrect email address the last time I requested 
speakers, so if you responded I did not get your message.  Current 
speakers are US Batteries, Don Liberatore (HBOI), and Dan Lance.  We 
have numerous people working on various projects from communications 
(Al? Lea?) to submarine construction (Cliff? Frank? Hugh? Dean? 
others?).  Please contact me personally (jonw@psubs.org) if you have a 
topic you would like to present.  This could be a research project or 
just an update on your own submarine project.  I'm awaiting confirmation 
from Jay Jeffries on "weight & balances" presentation, and I may offer a 
presentation on my findings related to conning tower / viewport seat 
fabrication according to ABS/ASME rules, however I will defer my spot to 
others who wish to speak.

1) Don Liberatore from Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, and friend 
of Vance Bradley, will be providing us with a special tour of the HBOI 
facility.

2) We have been given permission to use the HBOI facilities for 
presentations.  I expect this to be in the Johnson Education Center 
Auditorium which has all the equipment we require (projector, 
microphones, etc).  I still need to get confirmation of reservation for 
this, however this appears to be where we'll be located at this point.

3) We are planning on touring the UDT/Seal museum.

4) Vance is still working on a barge for sub-diving.  We know this is 
important to you so we hope to have a confirmation one way or the other 
by the end of this week or early next week.

5) We've been contacted by a local scuba club who is interesting in 
collaborating with us in some fashion.  Our contact is Master SCUBA 
Instructor/Technical/Cave/
Public Safety Dive Instructor, USCG Merchant Marine Officer-Master, and 
Emergency Medical Instructor/Trainer.  Perhaps this would be a good 
opportunity for "public display" if we can get some folks to bring their 
submarines, whether dive-ready or not.

6) The hotel choice has been selected and you can make reservations at 
any time.  See the website for all current information.

7) I hope to have online registration ready this week.

Questions?  You can post the list, or email me privately.

Jon
