Reminding you of next monthly RMNA Luncheon at the American Legion Post, 5400 East Yale, Denver (southeast corner of I-25 and Yale), on Wednesday, February 7th, gathering around 11:30 a.m. February Guest Speaker will be Captain Steven E. Maffeo, USNR, Ret. See Below

See You There! Captain Steven E. Maffeo, USNR., Ret. is formerly the associate director of the McDermott Library, U.S. Air Force Academy. He also was in naval intelligence for over 28 years and commanded three reserve intelligence units. He spent many years working for IPAC, FICPAC, ONI, and JICPAC. Before retiring, his last navy assignment was teaching the history of intelligence at the National Defense Intelligence College. "Maffeo's book fills a longstanding gap in the literature of Navy cryptology. This volume will remain the standard reference for information about the Navy's intelligence personnel before and during World War II." (Review in U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings) This unique reference presents 59 biographies of people who were key to the sea services' preparation for fighting the Japanese Empire when World War II broke out, and whose advance work proved crucial. These intelligence pioneers invented techniques, procedures, and equipment from scratch, not only allowing the U.S. to hold its own in the Pacific despite the loss of much of its fleet at Pearl Harbor, but also laying the foundation for today's intelligence methods and agencies.
