Donations
Cris Hamilton – President
The $1000 donation(s) unanimously approved by the membership in San Antonio to Veteran’s organization(s) have been sent. Treasurer Mike Daniels sent $500 each to The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). These 2 Organizations have excellent records of donation $ actually going to help Veterans.
Museum Exhibits
We have received some wonderful items to include in our museum exhibits at the March Air Museum and the Norton Museum. Ten of our fellow AAVS/Combat Camera members have donated Nikon cameras and lenses; 4×5 Speed Graphic, Sony Mavica Still Video camera; 16mm cameras; and lots of other items. BUT!!! We still need more! We need more “tools of our trade” that accurately depict the variety and diversity of our mission. We need many of the different video cameras, that represent those we actually used in service. On the mopic film side it would be great to have a 35mm Eyemo, Canon Scoopus, or how about a Mitchell. Would be great to have sound recorders like Nagras. We have limited space at March & Norton but are looking forward to having more space in a future museum at Lackland. If you have items, and your not sure they are something we would want, send an email to Ken Hackman, kenhackman@att.net and he will let you know if your item/s is something we can use. Send items to Ken Hackman, 3940 Sunswept Drive, Studio City, CA 91604 who will catalog the donations and then get them to Jose Lopez who is our museum curator.
