Rick,
What are the details, again, about the native students wanting to help out on the boat, again? Was it the Creek Nation? Any chance of them giving us a hand during the day with the deck over Memorial weekend - even if it's for a few hours?
Also, remember to hunt down the POC for the TX Sea Cadet unit. Get their butts up here to help out and maybe even participate for VJ Day - we'll have to coordinate with Correy on that one. Most major Sea Cadet training takes place during the summer months (because the churrin are out of skrool), but we might get lucky.
