Joe Winkle, docent
USS Potomac Association

We will be regaled by Joe Winkle, a docent at the USS Potomac, on the history of the USS Potomac and the work that is being done by the USS Potomac Association to maintain this historic vessel. Joe is a Navy veteran, having served aboard a destroyer as an Electronics Technician from 1963 to 1966.

USS Potomac (AG-25), formerly USCGC Electra, was Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential yacht from 1936 until his death in 1945. On August 3, 1941, she played a decoy role while Roosevelt held a secret conference to develop the Atlantic Charter. USS Potomac and USS Sequoia are the last two existing U.S. presidential yachts. Potomac is now preserved in Oakland’s Jack London Square, as a National Historic Landmark and the only presidential yacht open to the public.

As always, the bar opens at 1100 and the Program will begin at 1200. Remember, “Summer Uniform is prescribed” for the first time this year, and with temperatures expected to be in the high 60’s in San Francisco. Guests are welcome and no RSVP is required.

We will also have a short business meeting where we will discuss what the future holds for the Commandery.
