We Have A Winner!

“Where in the World is DICK GAY (6314-2001)?”

Now we know. One of our Members made the correct guess and has won the prize. The answer was so simple that it escaped normal scrutiny – and so it goes with the spook business. Who won? And where was DICK?

THE WINNER IS – HARRY HALL

HARRY HALL (1547-1990) guessed the location correctly. He was not distracted by the deliberate misinformation DICK had laid out, as spies often do. For instance:

His companion named Baeuregard that cost him $100 was not the blond who almost distracted DICK but was a canary he had just bought and was in his car.

Good work HARRY – you’d make a good spook. HARRY will contact retired spy DICK GAY (6314-2001) to make his reservations, and we have already extended his Membership another year at no charge.

Oh yah – DICK was in the French Pavilion at Epcot Center nearby in Orlando, Florida! Wow, those spies really are tricky.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

The automatic dues renewal program has been well received by our Members. It saves time and the headaches of having to fill out a form each year, sticking it in an envelope, hunting up a stamp etc.

For our Members with their credit cards in our files – when your dues are due, we simply charge them to your account and you are renewed for another year – it’s that simple! When you see the charge appear on your statement, send us an e-mail, FAX or phone us to let us know which FREE audiotape you want AND if you have been a Member for five or more years, let us know which videotape you want in addition to the audiotape. Take any tape you wish from our assortment - it is your FREE gift. Members love it.

Condolences

Our friend and long time Member LARRY GATELY (2959-1993) recently lost his beloved wife, Nancy. She was far too young to leave this world. She is in a better place today but LARRY misses her terribly. Our hearts and sympathies go out to him.

Dud Torpedoes

That means an error has slipped past the four proofreaders, and we correct the error here. On page 25 of KTB #175, the second group of sinkings by USS TAMBOR was while she was under command of R. Kefauver. Please make the necessary corrections.

Membership Contest and a BAHAMAS CRUISE!

You bet – a Bahamas Cruise is the First Prize for the Member who recruits the most new Members in 2004 (minimum of 15)! If the Member would rather a LIFE Membership instead, that’s what they will receive. Okay, I’m in a generous mood. The Member who recruits the most new Members (minimum of 15) will get their choice of these great prizes AND the Member who recruits the next highest number of new Members (minimum of 15) will receive the OTHER of these two great prizes. EVERYONE CAN WIN SOMETHING!

You will receive a credit of $5 for each new Member you recruit towards anything in the catalog, your next renewal – whatever you like, you get $5 for each new Member up to four.

If you recruit 5 new Members – you get another year of your own Membership…..FREE!

For every 5 new Members you recruit – you receive one more year of Membership – FREE! I really like that word FREE, don’t you?

Here are Members already on their way to that GRAND PRIZE:

WILLIS CARTO (1059-1989) ………………………………… 3

CARL FROMHAGEN (1242-1989 ……………….…………. 1
STEVE WOLFE (3855-LIFE-1994)
VALOR TOURS (5576-1998)

It isn’t difficult. Do you loan your KTB to a friend who enjoys it? That friend would probably love a Membership, so sign them up and besides, you won’t have to wonder where are your missing issues of the KTB when your friend loses them.

Are you part of a re-enactment group? There are people in that group who would love to hear about Sharkhunters. Be creative and YOU can be the GRAND PRIZE winner.

There is plenty of time for YOU to win that GRAND PRIZE. If you need Membership applications, brochures etc. just let us know, and we’ll send them out to you. GOOD HUNTING!

Argentina!

We apologize, but our space has just run out and we have not had the room to tell you all the interesting things we have learned about the…….well, you know what we are looking at. We’ve suddenly gotten some strong cooperation from a retired Argentinean Navy officer as well as two other researchers down there. We firmly believe there is a story to follow here and probably an expedition. Keep watching your KTB Magazine – more specific information will be in KTB #177 for sure!
