Plight of the Snipes

Thank you to all those who are sending and posting pictures to our email (325office@lstmemorial.org) and our Facebook site!  We do however need to address the desperate plight of the Snipes.  We have not received many pictures of our hard working Engineering Crew below decks.  If anyone sees one these rare and interesting breeds, please snap a picture and send it in!  They are very elusive and only seem to come up for air and food.  We may use your picture on this website or in our organizational newsletter The Phoenix.
