Shipmates, I’ve asked our esteemed editor Pat Cornect to publish our letters to the King and to the Governor General in the Yardarm. The Executive Secretary and I are many miles apart so his signature doesn’t appear in the version you see but the final letter to the Vice Regal contains his signature right next to the R.C.N.A. Official Seal. Like you, I am very proud of our association, every member in it and all of the activities taking place. We’re especially proud of our history and the honour of having received our Royal Patronage from Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. Now we ask her son His Majesty King Charles 111 to continue that honour. Thank you shipmates for your loyalty and dedication to our great organization.
Jack Angus Chapelle, RCNA National President.
