In a few more days the Christmas Party & Awards Program will be held at the Northampton Country Club.  If the 2004 is anything like the 2003 Festivities, we all should have a Great Time.

Again, Thanks Too All for Your Support and Making this 2004 Season So Special.

 

As Always, Fair Winds to All

I would like to thank the membership for your support of my assuming the position of Commodore of the AISC.  We all know that I have big shoes to fill, following in the 'wake' of Commodore Gene and IPC Butch Beard.

I look forward to working with the club to do some new things in 2005, such as the blessing of the fleet and our day on the bay for the kids of Community Hospice.

Please feel free to contact me either by phone or e-mail and offer your comments, advice or ideas for new ventures.

Since Axel and I will be winging our way to South Africa while everyone is partying at North Hampton, let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
