It’s summertime and what’s better than eating all the crabs you can pick sitting among friends and former colleagues at the Fisherman’s Inn and Crab Deck 3116 Main Street, Grasonville, MD 21638. Food includes Crabs, BBQ Ribs, chicken tenders, corn-on-the cob, potato salad, melon, brownies, cookies, beverages including soda, ice tea and draft beer. If crabs really don’t appeal to you – no problem – you can attend and have the buffet for a lesser price without the crabs. Now here’s the exclusive – if you are both an AMS member AND have an account with the Constellation Federal Credit Union the cost of the crab feast and buffet is reduced for the cost of $33 for crabs and buffet or $10 for buffet only. If you are an AMS member, but not a member of the credit union it takes just a few minutes to open an account with the credit union at www.constellationfcu.org and click on Membership> Membership Application and follow the prompts. If you do not have dual membership with AMS and the credit union, you will pay full price for the crabs of $53 (which includes the buffet) or $30 for only the buffet. All prices include taxes and gratuities. Complete the registration form on page 11 by July 25, 2016.

BBQ PICNIC AMS members are faithful to attend planned events even during a hurricane as it was during last year’s picnic! This year hopefully the day will be a warm autumn day for folks to get together and reminisce of their summer excursions. Reserve Thursday, October 6, 2016 at 11:00 AM at the Carderock Large Pavilion where many Department picnics were held; just off of Clara Barton Pkwy, Bethesda, MD across from the David Taylor Research Facility. As in the past, folks are asked to bring snacks and/or desserts to share. Patty Water-Heflin’s cookies were a huge hit last year!!! (hint-hint) For more comfortable seating remember to bring along your lawn chair.

These events and how you can support or participate are detailed in this newsletter. If you would like to attend the Board meetings your presence will be welcomed.

Update of ICC–Bethesda Complex By Jim Hathaway

The parking lot beside the Warren Building, which is near the Ruth Building, is being stabilized and resurfaced. This is an expensive undertaking using heavy equipment. When I inquired as to why this was being done, I was told the Corps of Engineers had given Sibley Hospital a long-term lease on the parking lot. This could indicate there are no plans to occupy the Ruth/Warren Buildings in the near future. Following is the response received from the BRAC Coordinator of the inquiry about the Ruth/Warren/ Freemont Buildings. “All land and improvements associated with the Dalecarlia site are owned by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE). The Navy has a use permit to operate and maintain the Fremont Building and its associated parking lot. The Navy currently has no plans to draw down that use in the near future. The Ruth and Warren Buildings were included on the original permit but the Navy had them removed some time ago due to a lack of mission requirement. However, the property is still owned by ACE.”

How to Deal With Change Submitted from Harold Snyder

"WHY should I deal with change?" might be the better question to start with! And the answer is . . . . .because change is coming. Change is always coming.

And whether you look forward to a change or dread it, change triggers powerful effects in your body and your emotions (sometimes called "stress!"). You can increase your sense of control and steer your life into positive territory when you know how to deal with change. So, nix the go-with-the-flow attitude. That just sets you up for a lifetime of stress, anxiety, pain, and fear. Coping? Not enough. As long as you are just coping, you have limited choices. You feel trapped and victimized. Cocooned and isolated, you miss out on many opportunities. Maybe you'd rather fight the change. Fueled by anger and frustration, you sap your strength and find yourself lonely and, once again, victimized. Before learning these 7 tips for how to deal with change . . . . Adjust your thinking! I'm going to give you seven tips on how to deal with change, but first, I'm asking you to change your thinking. The 7 tips work best when you make these adjustments. Approach dealing with change as a process. Dealing with change is not like an electric switch that is either on or off. It is like baking bread. There are many steps and ingredients. Both baking bread and dealing with change take time. Reframe the way you think about change. Choose to give positive meaning to life changes. Even if you've never moved your furniture, you still have the hair style you wore in High School, and you always the same lunch, you CAN thrive on change. Breathe and be flexible. Prepare to move with the changes because they are going to happen. No one's life is free of change. And you wouldn't like it if it WAS! Easier said than done? Maybe. But when you consciously choose to think this way, you experience a positive difference in how you deal with change.

7 Tips for How to Deal with Change Ready for more joy and a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment? Follow the tips below. 1. Simply notice that you are in the midst of change and that

change is a part of you. This might seem like a no-brainer, but it takes some practice to become aware of change instead of subconsciously denying it. Don't try to run and hide. If you have a journal, write about changes you notice.

2. Face your feelings about the change, especially when the change is imposed and beyond your control. Get past "Why

me?" "But I don't want to!" and "It isn't fair!" Figure out what your fears or worries are. That takes work. You don't have to be a victim, even when you are not in control of the change. Write about your feelings.

3. Figure out when to accept and when to reject the change. Have you heard the serenity prayer? ( Reflect on what you are accenting, what you are rejecting, and what you are doing something about. You will be amazed at how effective your choices are.

4. Adopt an attitude of anticipation, and be grateful. Welcome change as an opportunity. Find the benefit somewhere in the change. There is always a benefit and an opportunity. Start by keeping a written record for 3 days. Every day, note 3 things, large or small, that you are grateful for. You will notice a more powerful attitude of anticipation growing (hey! that might be a nice change!).

5. Choose your thoughts and attitudes about each change. Negative thoughts block your creativity and problem-solving abilities. Positive thoughts build bridges to possibilities and opportunities. Keep a record of the choices you make in your thoughts and attitudes.

6. Learn to relax (more). Deep breathing works for many people. Exercise helps most of us to relax. Choose the way that works best for you. Relaxation allows you to deal well with change.

7. Set smart goals so you can consciously guide the change. Smart goal setting helps you decide how to make the change happen and to recognize your successes. Write out your goals and your plans to meet them. See this additional page for more on smart goal setting. The link opens in a new page so you can get right back here easily because there's more about dealing with change.

There's one more really important tip. . . . • Communicate with supportive people who can help you

deal with stress. Family and friends also provide important help to figure out how to deal with change. Talk to them, and listen. But you may need more focused help. Writing things down in a journal focuses your attention and clarifies your thoughts, leading to healthy decision-making and greater life balance. Writing about your internal processes in a regular and focused way is called journaling (not talking about keeping a log of your daily activities!) An interesting thing about writing in a journal . . . You begin to respect yourself as one of the key supportive people in your own life.

The Serenity Prayer God grant me the

Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and

Wisdom to know the difference

HOLIDAY LUNCHEON

It's that time of the year that you should start thinking of establishing a flexible line of credit that provides you with money when you need it. Use it for home improvements, major purchases or appliances, tuition or educational costs, unplanned expenses, debt consolidation or vacation. CFCU will make it easy for you! CFCU is now offering an introductory rate of 1.99% APR* Rate good for one year from the date of loan origination. *APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Applies to new lines of credit only. Limited time offer, promotion ends June 30, 2016 and may be discontinued without notice. Financing is available for up to 80% of the loan-to-value.


Spring Luncheon As Spring approached we grew anxious for warm weather, trees budding, smell of fresh air as windows are opened to allow the warm breeze into our homes. Watching flowers pop-up through the ground reminds

us of life awakening. Folks enjoyed the leisurely cruise while looking at the beautiful scenery along the way to join friends and colleagues at the Spring Luncheon held at Dutch’s Daughter in Frederick, MD on May 7. As you can see form the pictures, folks told what was done since they got together last, upcoming vacation and short trip plans, and what the grandchildren are doing graduating from high school and some even have college graduates too. Merle Biggin greeted folks as they arrived giving them a door prize ticket, meal selection, and their name tag which is very helpful meeting new members and remembering names of others. During the meet and greet time folks purchased 50/50 tickets for the drawing following lunch.

Larry Bowles, AMS President, welcomed everyone to this event and thanked the folks for their continued support to the organization of “Keeping in Touch and Having Fun”. Harrold Capps lead in the Pledge of Allegiance and Gil Monk provided the blessings. It was an honor having two members; Bill Stickel and Madeline Bernard, of the 90+ Club attend. Talking with them and learning of their contributions to the mapping industry was interesting. Folks attending the Spring Luncheon were: Jim and Marcella Amspaugh, Barbara Bailey, Ken and Anne Barnes, Amber Beall, Barbara and Madeline Bernard, Merle and Nancy Biggin, Larry Bowles, Joe and Lynn Brannan, Harrold Capps, Frankie, Jeanne and Sam Casamento, Sharon Crites, Greg Cross, Norma Hintze, Jim Hobbs, Sandy Lawson, Bruce Lillegard, Will and Valerie Liston, Gilbert and Joy Monck, Kim Morrow, Georgia Pierce, Frank Pumphrey, Mike and Judy Rose, Norman Spencer, Bill Stickel, John Webster, Pat and Linda Weed, Dave and Fawn Weed, Doug and Carol Wenk, Ken and Berna Yuen.

Richard Boggs Richard Charles Boggs Sr. "Dick" (Age 90 1925 - 2016) passed away on Thursday, June 2, 2016 at his home in Potomac, MD. Dick was a veteran of WWII with the

137th Infantry Regiment in Europe and of Korea with the 712th TROB. He retired from the US Army Map Service in 1982. Dick was a long-time member and deacon of Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church in Washington DC. His wife, Eleanor Boots Boggs, preceded him in death. Dick’s three children are Richard Jr. (Mary), James (Faye) and Patricia. Two granddaughters Nicole and Samantha and two great-grandchildren Zachary, and Bennett also survive him. Memorial services will be held on June 27th at 11 am at Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, 1 Chevy Chase Circle, Washington DC.

Robert “Bob” Cheeks, 79 years young, was born on May 10, 1936 in Baltimore, MD and attended Frederick Douglas High School where he actively participated in the Art Club and the ROTC Marine Reserves Program. After graduating in June 1954, he entered active duty, and served with

the US Marine Corp as a Combat Engineer. After several other employment, he began his career as a Cartographer at the Department of Defense, Defense Mapping Agency in Washington, DC. Always committed to self-improvement, Robert also attended the Community College of Catonsville. He was an active member of the Optimist Youth Club in Catonsville, Md. where he also coached his young sons in football. In his immediate community, he was very much involved with the Holly Manor Neighborhood Association. Robert was a gifted artist who was often commissioned by friends and family to sketch portraits of loved ones. He was an illustrator, media specialist and graphic designer, with his skills being in high demand from public organizations and businesses. Additionally, it is well known that Robert enjoyed all genres of music, and was especially an aficionado of jazz. However, he was most passionate about percussion instruments with the conga drums being his absolute

favorite. His other hobbies included league bowling social dancing, and collecting African-American, American-Indian, Negro Baseball and Buffalo Soldiers memorabilia. Always the consummate joker, Robert tried not to take life to seriously, and he always wanted to live well, love much and laugh often. He considered himself a “grass roots” type of person who preferred the simple life, without fanfare. Bob Cheeks departed this life on April 19, 2016 while in Seasons Hospice at Northwest Hospital. He believed in the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He shall be remembered as one who loved life, nature, animals, his family and his friends.
