as 1 r N 'f ' K SKCSlSWl Roousv HAMANN During the l997 Great Lakes Cruise, FAHRION sailors experienced a very unique adventure, one that will have memories that will last a lifetime. lt was a cruise of goodwill, with many new and lasting acquaintances made. One of community service, from giving tours of special olympic kids to building ramps at senior citizens homes. lt was also a cruise of I4 hours straight on sea detail. lt was a time of visiting Navy Pier and Michael Jordan's restaurant in Chicago, baseball's hall of fame in New York, Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee, Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland, and the Miller brewery in Milwaukee. FAHRION sailors showed their true pride. The comments from the guests were the same in every port: How do you keep the ship and your uniforms so clean? The crew maintained their enthusiasm from the very first visitor to the 78,000 visitor. Very Respectfully R. Hamann

The crew of the FAHRION is an out- standing group of professionals. Your enthusiasm and spirit have allowed you to overcome the shortfalls the ship experienced in available training time and manning. You've aggressively pursued all the goals and mis- sions that the command has been tasked and done way beyond what was expected. During the cruise, the pride that you instilled in me, carried over to every job l undertook. Be it an official greeter at a reception, a rushed welcome aboard prior to a day cruise, or standing alone in right field lsoft- balll, l gave my best because l knew it was expected of me as a member of this crew. We completed this cruise with visits to IO US Ports and 6 Canadian ports, transiting over 7200 nautical miles, and showing the ship to 78,76l people. l'm proud of you and your accomplishments and look for- ward to sewing with you in future years. 0 EF
