Would be glad to hear from you Rear Admiral Albert Sackett Albert, Many thanks for getting in touch. I was the one who tried to contact you back in April. I had seen that your name had been added as a Notable Sackett on the Sackett (surname) Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackett_%28surname%29 . The item is unlinked as there is not an article to link to. I offered to help write an article if you could provide the basic data. After some research, Ted Smith, one of our members, found some biographical details written by Joe Havens and published in "Chief: the evolution, development and role of the chief petty officer in the United States Naval Service." (Turner Publishing Company, 1996.) I have used that material in the Notable Sacketts section of the Sackett Family Association website at http://www.sackettfamily.info/g128/p128774.htm . I would be grateful if you would have a look at what I have so far and let me know of any corrections or additional material that you be happy to see on the web. I would then produce two articles, a detailed one for the Sackett website, and a rather shorter version for Wikipedia, to fit their style and guidelines. I am sending this via the Sackett mailing list (which I see you have just re-subscribed to) as it will inform a number of members who had expressed interest. You can of course reply to the list or, if you prefer, write to me individually. Regards, Chris Sackett Webmaster Sackett Family Association

Chris, My bio is quite complete except that we are now residing in Iowa City, Iowa, address is 350 Dublin Dr. 52246. Tel No 319-499-1616. We are about forty miles from my birthplace In Victor. My Grandfather Kirkland or Kirtland is buried in Brooklyn, Iowa along with his parents and some of his siblings. My father and Mother are both buried in the cemetery in Victor, where Mrs Sackett and I are gong to be laid to rest. We had thought of Arlington but have decided that we want to be in Iowa soil'. My Mother lived to be a hundred, my father died quite young, his mid thirties, when I was only two and a half months old. I am the sole surviving member of my Father family, his sisters and offspring have all passed. I fortunately find myself at 92 to be feeling quite well. I have had a series of health problems that now seem to be corrected and look forward to getting back on the golf course. Not bad for a 92 year old. My wife and I will be celebrating our 65th anniversary in August. Let me know if you need more info.
