Christmas for Bath Iron Works as Navy changes plans
Times Record - Navy's switch on shipbuilding plans could be very good for Bath shipyard. After calling for an abrupt end of its new destroyer program less than a month ago, the Navy will seek funding after all for another DDG-1000 — a move that could trigger billions in contract dollars for Bath Iron Works.
Lt. Colonel Pam Powers, BIW, and Maine's County Commissioners Conference
Posted October 1st, 2007 by SusanLast Monday, I participated in the promotion ceremony of a military fellow, Pam Powers, who is serving in my office this year. Pam was promoted from Major to Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserves, and I had the wonderful privilege of speaking at her ceremony and pinning the new insignia on her uniform. Pam's entire family attended: her husband, three children, parents, and in-laws. As I looked at their beaming faces, I thought of how lucky we are that families like Pam's are willing to make the sacrifices necessary so that their loved ones can serve in the military.
