After dinner, Randy Cornell, the President of our National Organization
presented George Cote with the first 50 year certificate issued by the
CWOA.  There were comments from the background that George's original
enlistment papers were in the Revenue Marine and signed by Alexander
Hamilton. Our congratulations, George, 50 years as a Club Member is a
long, long time. May you have many, many more.

There will be two other 50 year certificates to be presented to Frank
Coffin and Harry Midgette on 24 March at an informao luncheon at
Tandom's Pine Tree Inn, Virginia Beach.
 

It was good to see Blackie Cressman back on his feet and out with the
crowd. He is still taking chemo therapy but looks mighty good. Hard to keep a good man down.
