The American Society of Naval

Engineers has given birth to a new local chapter in the New York,

New Jersey area. A cadre of the membership met over dinner, en- acted bylaws, elected officers, and appointed committees.

The Metropolitan Section, as it was named, was organized at Coast

Guard Base New York on Gov- ernors Island. After dinner at the

Officers Club, the members ensured that they met all of the ASNE re- quirements for a local chapter and had sufficient local support for a charter. They then voted on and passed bylaws and elected an ex- ecutive committee.

The elected officers are: chair- man, Capt. E.F. Barker Jr., USN; vice chairman, Lt. Comdr. G.F. Ire- land, USCG; and secretary-treas- urer, R.A. Fricke, area manager for

Drew Chemical Marine Division.

Three councilors were also elect- ed to the executive committee.

They are: Capt. R.W. Goode,

USCG; P.J. Statile, president of

Peter J. Statile Associates, and J.

R. Sparacino, vice president of De- signers & Planners Inc.

Seated at the table (left to right): J.R. Brasel; H.M. Wilson; A. St. George; W.A. Kemp- ton; D.J. Mauter; Capt. E.F. Barker, USN, and R.A. Fricke.
