MARCH 2018 BEACON

I hate to sound like a broken record, but Wow!, where’s the time going? It’s already March and I’m looking for Green stuff to wear. You’ll find photos of the Commodore’s Ball in this edition. For the sake of brevity and to not play favorites I included just the Ceremony. For those of you who haven’t yet, I’d encourage you to log into the photographer’s website and have a look at the 7 albums of photos. If you were there, you’ll likely find a photo that you might want. You may download any you wish for free. You may also order prints right from his website. There are a Lot of photos, if you were there, he probably has one of you. To Access the photos Click this link: Photos Click Here. Once you’re there, the Password is NCYC18. Additionally, I’ve included the Great Lakes Levels for your reference. On the second page is a link to the direct page if you want to see additional information on the monitoring and regulation of the Great Lakes and connecting waterways. I’ve been reading these since the 1970s and learned a great deal about our hydro-system over the years as well as the various governmental agencies surrounding our lakes. Back then of course everything was printed and mailed, my mom used to jump every time I got a letter from the Army, even if it was the Corps of Engineers. We had a couple nice get togethers down here amongst the Snow-Bird membership, a big thank you to Scott Goemmel and Michele LaCombe for the wonderful hospitality at your new southern escape and to Dianne French who put us up at her clubhouse for a nice luncheon.
