Chet Gibson Memorial Lighted Boat Parade

Bilge Pump Issue: 
February 2010

I wish to thank all who participated in the parade. Unfortunately I found myself in the hospital on December 1st for several weeks and was not able to participate myself. I especially would like to thank P/C Larrie Chmela for taking over for me and putting the final touches on the parade. He did an outstanding job. I would also like to thank those who provided turn boats. A big thank you goes out to V/C George Austin, Kent Soffel, Tom Wilson, Jess Hill, Lynn Montgomery, Andrea Schock, Bob Lindal, and P/C Bob Yates, who actually covered two locations and again Larrie Chmela. Of course this parade doesn’t happen without the lead boats provided by Dick McGrew and Chuck Gould. I understand that we had a good turnout and the weather was a bit chilly but nice. Until next year, have a wonderful boating season and live life to the fullest.
