As all of the 350 members of the Midwest Chapter of the AMMV know, our newsletter is written, published and mailed out by The Log Lady. The best known and hardest working member of the Midwest Chapter of the AMMV never set foot on a ship, but we couldn't do without her. It's the LOG LADY of course, Valeria Urbikas by name. Back in 1989, when the initial organizer, and president emeritus, Casey Jesukaitis, was overwhelmed with chapter duties, he had a meeting with fellow organizer and first Treasurer, Tony Urbikas. Since all of this required a lot of correspondence, Valeria gave herself the cognomen, Log Lady , to make it easier to say and spell her name.
