Participate in an Oral History Project..
Robert Markuske, a Park Ranger at Governors Island National Monument, is looking for people to talk to and participate in a Oral History Project.
Robert is seeking service members and/or dependents for a particular event in the fall of 1988. President Reagan and Soviet Leader Gorbachev meet on the island on December 7th 1988. Their last meeting before Reagan left office.
Anyone there that day; either intimately involved or just having a normal day and wishing to participate in this project, contact Robert Markuske directly at Robert_Markuske@nps.gov.
Digitization of the Reservist Magazine.
We know how important the "Reservist" is to all of our readers but, in today's budget climate
and with available technology, the magazine will move to an all digital publication. The next
two issues scheduled for released in calendar year 2011 will be in both formats, paper and
digital. Starting in January 2012, the Reservist magazine will be totally digital and available
at http://www.uscg.mil/reservist/.
Our goal is to continue to provide an award winning magazine that is enjoyed by all of our members.
