In this month of Thanksgiving, we are grateful to the thousands of benefactors who have stepped up to help the Naval Institute fulfill its educational mission in 2009. Among our many supporters, it is a pleasure to recognize two groups who have strengthened our efforts in the areas of Oral History and Conferences.
The Tawani Oral History Challenge Met
Earlier this year, the Tawani Foundation of Chicago pledged to match all gifts—up to $40,000—the Naval Institute could raise for its Oral History Program between February and October 2009. Through the generosity of the following supporters, we reached this objective with more than a month to spare:
CAPT James D. Barron Jr.
Kenneth A. Boyd
John E. Dougherty Jr.
Mark E. Dowhy and
Anna S. Anderson
