January 10, 2026 General Meeting Our guest speaker is one of our companions, PFC Jim Dowler. PFC, you say, well even if a PFC is one of the lowest military ranks, Jim went well beyond PFC in the "Real" world. Jim helped develop a "Real Time" environment in the Combat Information Center to monitor combatant Navy ships. No more using grease pencils on wall boards or pushing models around on a table. This Real Time system brought the U.S. Navy CIC into the modern world. You won't want to miss it. The meeting begins at 10AM at the Colonnade. The cost of breakfast is $18 payable to the chapter which will write a check to the Colonnade.
