From the Flotilla Commander:
Please come to the Flotilla Meeting
on March 12, 2007, 1900 hours, at the Metro Tech at the Airport. Please wear
your uniform if possible. Tropical Blue Long (Short Sleeve, Shoulder
Boards, Ribbons and Devices) or Undress Blue Winter (Long Sleeve, Tie,
Devices, no Ribbons, no Shoulder Boards) Staff Officers please prepare a report
for the meeting. Also send a copy of your report to your Division counterpart. Glede, Dwayne, Glenn, and Big John taught a Boat Oklahoma
Class on March 3, 2007 with 20+ students. It’s starting! Bill, John W., and Glede attended the Division 16 meeting March 3.
Tragedy struck on March 1, 2007 when
Diane Williams, age 57 passed away unexpectedly. Diane was the Engine which
propelled our Division for the last 10 or more years. Our thoughts and prayers
are very much with Bill and Krystal; Husband and
daughter.
If you lack anything to be ready for
operations in the next few weeks, please get it done now. I am talking about
ICS classes, Nav Rules, Offer for Use forms etc… It’s
time we get out on the water.
News from the Division:
Adam Gardner was awarded the Coast
Guard Support Award by Lt. Commander Tierney for his exhaustive efforts at the
Coast Guard Institute. Lt. Commander Tierney invited us all to participate at
the Coast Guard Institute in OKC. I also visited with her about coming up with
a CG unit in the
all phases or recreational boating
safety. He was impressed at our lengthy discussion and planning on the Boating
Safety Classes. This really makes you want to get on some Working Blues and get
out on patrol or sign up some more students. Good job folks.
There will be the regular Division
Meeting on April 14 in Grove, OK
There will be two, USCG 10 person
fast boats ( 25’ Defender Boats) at the
Contact Monty Penn, Liaison to
Muskingum (Master Chief Mott) if you would like to help out at CG Station
Sallisaw. This could include, Radio Watch, Crew, Cleaning, mowing, painting,
cooking, window washing or whatever. There was a brief Memorial service for
Diane Williams.
In the evening we, (Division
attendees,) had dinner with Commander Maguire
at Spaghetti Warehouse. A real good time.
Don’t forget to turn in your hours.
