Re: NavFac Ramey 3-ring binder to donate

Ron,

The Cold War Museum would probably take your NAVFAC Ramey binder but doubt it would be properly displayed, if displayed at all. The Cold War Museum at Vint Hill, VA is packed with a wonderful collection of Cold War artifacts from all services and defense organizations. SOSUS/IUSS has a display, but they weren't able to use all of the material that was offered (space limitations).

A more appropriate venue for such an important piece of IUSS history (Ramey was the very first NAVFAC) might be the Commander Undersea Surveillance (CUS) headquarters in Virginia Beach, VA. They have a brand-new building with a large atrium. A couple of years ago, the previous Commodore, CAPT Scott Luers, USN asked for donations of museum quality artifacts to display appropriately in that atrium.

I am in contact with the CUS staff on a regular basis. Please contact me and I can provide assistance in helping you protect this important piece of our SOSUS/IUSS legacy.
