GIL AND ANNE KRAINE “TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS” |
 |
| On January 8, 1996, Anne met Gil, and for Anne it was love at first sight. Gil was a tad more cautious. After all, they came from different worlds. Gil grew up in NYC and graduated from the Coast Guard Academy, serving on five different Coast Guard Cutters at different times and places. After serving at the Loran Station at Palau, he obtained his master’s in naval engineering from M.I.T. He served three tours of duty at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington and became Chief of Staff at the 5th Coast Guard District in Portsmouth, then District Commander. Following retirement, Gil received his MBA from ODU and held several positions in shipbuilding and defense contracting until his second retirement. In Tennessee Anne taught Head Start, kindergarten, first grade, and middle school. She received her master’s in elementary education and her doctorate in curriculum and instruction from the University of Tennessee. She served as principal, supervisor, then managing editor of Educational Leadership. She was assistant superintendent in Virginia Beach; then worked in Washington for a private group serving the National Center for Education Statistics. Now she manages education projects for the Commonwealth Educational Policy Institute at VCU. Now, after eight wonderful years of marriage, Anne has introduced Gil to genealogical research in the South, which entails visiting every cemetery in every county. And on the ROWS trip to NYC last December, Gil gave Anne the grand tour of Manhattan at Christmas time. When not touring each other’s different worlds, they work out at the gym, enjoy books and movies, entertain friends, kids, and grandkids. |

| In appreciation of ROWS' generous contribution and support, a brass
plate was placed on the reverse of the two main doors of Chisolm Hospitality
House. The house serves active duty and retired military personnel and
their families who are being treated at Portsmouth Naval hospital.
The engraving on each is highly visible. The plaque reads:
God Bless This House And Those It Serves

Kay Palko, President As we start a new and exciting year, I am honored to serve as your President. My board and I welcome your comments and suggestions to make our Club better. You asked for something different, so my first vice presidents have been working hard to provide a variety of luncheons. My goal for the year is to bring in new members, and make our meetings a joy to attend. I still need some congenial ladies to serve: Activities Chairman: to plan and organize special trips and activities. Historian: to collect all articles, pictures and memorabilia for the year, which is usually turned into a president’s book. Hospitality committee members: Legislation Chairman: to keep us aware of legislation that concerns us. Publicity Chairman: and committee members: to get the notices of our meetings in the newspapers and out into the community. I know some old solders tell new recruits to keep your head down and don’t volunteer, but I am telling you to hold your head up, call me and say I am ready. Remember to mail in your membership form or have it filled out for the next luncheon. We have been having trouble with postal delivery of the newsletter. Just remember if you don’t get yours our luncheons are always the second Thursday of the month. So by the end of the month call our new reservations chairman Nordie Crews. See you next month at the Duck Inn. |
