From the President

TCA exists to
preserve the heritage and to promote the fraternity of the extended
Turnbull family.
Unlike heritage which deals with the past our fraternity focuses on
the present interaction between members of the extended Turnbull
family for social, friendship, networking, reference, promotion,
exchange, and
information
purposes.

TCA is launching a
new program called the Bullpen for those who want to have friendly
exchange with members of the worldwide Turnbull family by serving as
local resources. Bullpen exchanges and supports are meant to be at
a level comfortable to each person. Members are asked to serve as
either Hosts or Resources.
Bullpen
Resources are members who are willing to provide information and
recommendations to others about local activities and services.
Resources may also be willing to share their knowledge about varied
topics such as photography, genealogical research, recipes, quilt
making, fishing, or almost anything of mutual interest.
Bullpen Hosts
are members who are able to offer personal local contact to
Turnbulls who are traveling. Hosts are not required to have guests
stay in their homes though they may choose to do so. Hosts are
willing to meet, when possible, with Turnbulls who are visiting from
out of town for fraternal interaction and advice about the local
area. Some hosts may offer vacation or study exchange
opportunities. Others may provide business networking contacts.
Information about
Bullpen Hosts and Resources will be available from the TCA
administration and through a private Bullpen area of the TCA website
not available to the public.
Sign up today
for the Bullpen by returning the enclosed form. This is a great
opportunity to meet extended family members from around the world
and to develop new friendships. |

Meet
the Members:
This month’s member is one of TCA newest members, David Turnbole. Born
July 7, 1945, Dave spent the first 18 years of his life in Ellisburg, a
tiny community in upstate New York. Before receiving a degree from
UCLA, Dave joined the Coast Guard and served for 5 years which included
serving on the Coast Guard Cutter Dallas. While in the Coast Guard,
Dave met and fell in love with his best friend’s sister, Stephanie.
Dave and Stephanie
were married in 1967 and had two daughters, Samantha and Katherine.
Samantha is married to Matthew Meier and teaches sciences for the
Boston, MA school district. Katherine attends Syracuse University and
is also a member of TCA. An interesting side note is that Samantha also
served in the Coast Guard and her duty station was the same Cutter
Dallas.

Stephanie died of cancer in 1988. Dave remarried 15 years ago to
Kathleen, a Methodist minister and they now live in Sherrill, New
York. Dave is retired but maintains a graphic arts design business
and works primarily with race teams, their cars and race resumes.

Dave enjoys showing
off his ’03 PT Cruiser Turbo and his ’74 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
Dave has been doing
research into the family genealogy. He says that his father changed the
spelling of the family name from Turnbull to Turnbole.
Dave enjoyed a trip to
England and Scotland in 2003. He would love to return someday and spend
more time visiting the Borders and other regions.
