Kathleen,

I can confirm what Sarah Watson said.  There is no local club in
Southeastern Virginia.  Tom Shepherd tried to form one about 10 years ago by
hosting a meeting at his house in Virginia Beach.  It did not work.  I have
sent letters twice to all COA members in Virginia, but never got a response
indicating there was interest in forming a club.  Seems astonishing in view
of the large numbers of Navy people in the area, the existence of the
Virginia Marine Science Museum in Virginia Beach and Nauticus ( a maritime
museum) located in downtown Norfolk.
