REFLECTIONS ON 
THE PAST - 1998

P/C Michael C. Pevear, S

Our squadron family nights proved to be very interesting with elegant meeting locations and outstanding speakers, including Rick Dove of the Neuse River Foundation and the Mariner's Museum presentation on the recently discovered wreck of Blackbeard's flagship. Boating Activities featured the stormy Ocracoke Rendezvous.

RMPS made the 1998 Cooperative Charting National Honor Roll. Receiving Individual Honor Roll certificates for the year ending March 1998 were Clarence Bolling, Jim Dugan, Gary Erbse, Joe Hardee, Clay Helm, Bowie Martin, and Sonny Whitehurst.

We finally dodged the hurricanes and had a rendezvous in Belhaven for our Coop Charting in the Pungo-Alligator Canal. Although the day was gloomy and overcast, we had plenty of boats and personnel to help complete a depth survey of the entire length of the canal. For our efforts, RMPS and several participating members have already made the 1999 Coop Charting National Honor Roll.

The RMPS newsletter, Coastal Plains Signal, received the 1998 Excellence in Journalism Award.

Squadron Boating Courses were well attended with the largest being in the Spring. The Past Commanders' Pig Picking was a great success and the Christmas Party proved to be one of our largest.

We are still concentrating on member growth and hope to continue on the course our previous commanders have started.

Fair winds and following seas to each of you!
