REFLECTIONS ON 
THE PAST - 2001

P/C Nelson Gainey, P

TEAM - TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE!

I was elected to serve a second term and become the thirtieth Commander.  

Our Squadron's Educational Department presented both a Spring and Fall Boating Course.  We attracted new members from both of these classes. The internal educational offerings yielded high returns also.  We started courses in all five advanced grades.  Three members passed the written JN exams and are working on their sights.  One member, Albeon Anderson, obtained his USCG Captain's License. 

We enjoyed a cruise to Ocracoke over Easter and a rendezvous with a cookout at Bowie Gray's cottage on Goose Creek in June.  Thanks to our Administrative Officer, Dick Shafer, our monthly meetings provided excellent educational and entertainment opportunities.  Our Past Commander's Pig Picking and the Christmas Dinner Meeting at the Legacy were both excellent.  

Our Vessel Safety Check program completed the year with the first six RMPS Vessel Examiners.  

Our Squadron achieved the USPS National Honor Roll for Cooperative Charting.  The Coastal Plains Signal received the 2001 Distinction in Journalism Award and the RMPS website received the 2001 USPSŪ Website Award.  We were also presented the Educational Fund Award and the Bowsprit Award.
