Midway Welcomes Local Business Leaders
Midway hosted the San Diego Chamber of Commerce for the first event aboard Midway. Chief Operating Officer Mac McLaughlin spoke at the breakfast and asked for the community's support. He called on area business leaders to
sponsor exhibits aboard Midway. McLaughlin previewed the museum's education program set for launch in September 2004. To request information on corporate sponsorship, please reply to sdacm@aol.com.
Artifacts Needed
Our collection of naval memorabilia continues to grow, but we still need your support! We are seeking the following items that will permit us to properly depict the F-4 and A-7 in a flying status for their respective exhibits:
Three flight helmets (HGU-33 type preferred)
Three oxygen masks
Three Nomex flight suits
Three flight suit harnesses
If you would like to donate one of these items email our curator at
USSMidwayCurator@cox.net
Kudos to Our Volunteers
A project like this does not enjoy the level of success we have reached without the dedication of a great group of volunteers. We have hundreds of individuals who have offered their time and talents to this project.
For those of you who have made the trek down to Harbor Drive to view the Midway, you have come into contact with many of these great volunteers. Each day a dozen or so volunteers greet pedestrians along the waterfront
as visitors stroll the Embarcadero between Seaport Village and the Star of India. During their sojourn visitors inquiry about the size of the ship and details on her crew. These volunteers are helping us build our initial base of members and educate folks from across the country on the grandeur of this modern marvel, the aircraft carrier.
