Change of Watch 2008
Photos and Story by
Lt/C Lorraine B. Ryan, S

The Change of Watch for the Rocky Mount Power Squadron took place on Saturday, February 16th at Something Different in Wilson. A social hour preceded dinner so everyone had a chance to mingle and talk with those they hadn’t seen in a while.  P/DC Ben Reed, AP and his wife, Cdr Lorrie Clark Reed, P along with D/C Mack Gordy, Jr, AP and his wife,  Mrs. Vinnie Gordy came to both socialize and Mack to install our new commander and bridge. As always, Something Different cooked a delicious meal for us and except for the noise from the birthday party in the adjoining room, everything was perfect. Our Master of Ceremonies, L. M. Barnes pitch hit for Glenn Daughridge who had previously accepted another venue.  L. M. did a great job.

The following awards were presented to our members for 2007:
Commander’s Award – Chris Payne
Marshall Brushwood Award – Kelly Bock
Vessel Safety Check Award – Phil Benson

District Commander Mack Gordy relieved our previous commander, Steve Boshart of his duties and installed our new commander, Kendall Cranston, and our new bridge.  It was decided that Steve is on probation for a year to determine if he is worthy of becoming a past commander. Our new commander, Kendall talked about the three members of our squadron who both mentored him and got him involved in our squadron 12 years ago.  He looks forward to an outstanding year for 2008.
