Mills, President, USS Intrepid Association. "My concern was quickly put to rest when, after presenting my proposal to the Board of Directors, and, with all in full agreement, a motion was made, seconded, and accepted unanimously. To my knowledge, the only unanimous vote in the twenty-seven year history of the USS Intrepid Association."
