We had our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner this past Saturday.  Ad Mumford announced his retirement and so we thought it only fitting to acknowledge the hard work and dedication Ad has shown with a chromed injector from the ship!  He was also given a beautiful hand carved model ship made by one of our crew members.  It is also his birthday Today, and so Saturday we gave him a cake.

Roald Zvonik presented Captain Jornlin a beautiful hand bell from the Illinois LST Association.  A wonderful gesture to recognize the Captain's work.

Herb Quick and Ron Hall with their much deserved 2,000 Hour Jackets!

We had many attendees at the dinner.

Many wonderful smiling faces.

Old and new friends.

The board also handed out the calendar for next year.
