MAHS meets monthly - You're invited!
May Meeting
The Essential John Paul Jones
Award winning author, Rear Admiral Joe Callo, will talk about America's best known and least understood naval hero. He will challenge
both the contemporary deconstructionist approach to biography and the current academic orthodoxy concerning Jones.
In the process, Admiral Callo will illuminate Jones as a self-taught naval officer who doggedly overcame the odds to create a naval tipping point in the American Revolution.
Admiral Callo served a 30-plus year career as a Navy reserve officer. He has also been a senior executive with both large and small advertising agencies and a producer for NBC-TV and PBS network programs.
In 1998, Callo was named Naval History magazine's Author of the Year, and for more than 10 years he taught advertising and writing courses as an adjunct associate professor at St. John's University in New York City.

MAHS Prepared Diver Program
MAHS sponsored its annual Prepared Diver Program, consisting of the Emergency First Response (CPR and First Aid) course on Saturday, February 9, and DAN's Oxygen First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries course on Sunday, February 10 at the Splash Dive Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
Each course was offered at $50 (nearly half price) as a special benefit to MAHS members. Retraining is recommended every two years, so consider one or both of these programs the next time they are offered. See the flyer for more information.

Pamunkey River Project
White House Landing on the Pamunkey River in Virginia was for a time an important logistics base
for the Union Army in the spring of 1862.
Barges side by side were part of the water borne supply net to support General McClellans Peninsula Campaign
by way of the York River. MAHS is currently working on a project to investigate these barges or canal boats.
