Ahoy,
Over the next few days, those of you who visit the JHNSA website will notice some big changes. The JHNSA has decided to use a local (Jacksonville, Florida) "professional" website developer to build, host and maintain their website. The advantages are:
(a) they will be able to deal with their webmaster face-to-face
(b) the company they are using can offer much more in the way of "bells and whistles" then I can, and
(c) they have trained professional website and graphics people on their staff.
In addition, this company has donated their services to the JHNSA.
The basic URL for the JHNSA site will stay the same, either http://www.adamsclassmuseum.org/ or http://www.adams2jax.org
The "look" of the site will change quite a bit.
I will no longer be the webmaster for the JHNSA - however I will continue as webmaster for this site (since I own it), and for the ACVA website (I think).
Thank you.
Jim

To All ACVA Members from Bob Branco:
The ACVA Board and I want to thank you for the tremendous support you have given our effort during the past several years. Your donations from individuals and ship associations have made it possible for us to get the professional support required to submit an outstanding Donation Application to NAVSEA as well as obtain the needed technical support to complete engineering and environmental work in Jacksonville for obtaining the City of Jacksonville's approval of the site next to the Acosta Bridge. The attached newsletter describes the hard work of the ACVA and the JHNSA teaming together to have the USS CHARLES F. ADAMS donated to become the Adams Class Naval Ship Museum in Jacksonville.
In addition to meeting with Governor Rick Scott and the staff of new Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown JHNSA President Dan Bean has recently updated NAVSEA's Captain Chris Pietras on our project efforts at the Navsea office. The discussions have all been positive and the key step at this point is getting significant fund raising accomplished over the next several months to keep the ship on Donation Hold. JHNSA is working with many key Jacksonville businesses and public figures to obtain the donations to expand the fund raising campaign in north Florida. All of you have been key to our success and we thank you for the support you have given us...Bob

I have completed the purchase of the DDG-2.com, DDG-2.net and DDG-2.org domains. The DDG-2.org domain is now the primary site. You can use any of those URL's, (including the old BozAir one) they will automatically redirect you to this site.
The purpose behind this was to protect this site from outsiders who might try to corrupt it, and to make it easier to transfer this site to someone else if/when I can no longer keep it up. In addition, when you are referring your friends and fellow shipmates to this site, it will be much easier to just say DDG-2.org then to say http://www.bozair.com/DDG-2/index.html - or whatever.
