We rarely get to revisit the past and live in the present. Last night I spent some precious time with our Auxiliarists who selflessly serve the public on Lake Lanier north of Atlanta. I promised my Seventh District Aux Commodore Mary Larsen that I would come to Lake Lanier and speak to her Flotilla. That was 2000. In 2008 I kept my promise.

The lake levels are low due to lack of rain and the need for drinking water and power generation. Nonetheless, our Auxiliarists stand the watch and keep Lake Lanier safe.

Thank you Mary Larsen and your shipmates (Allen Brown included).
