COASTIE’S
REPORT, 2000
Just in case you were
not at the September Board on Staten Island, the Auxiliary has acquired
three additional Coasties with trailers, as well as an additional
trailer for our present Coastie.
These should be available
to the District after the first of the year. With the trailers,
a van will no longer be required to obtain Coastie. A trailer hitch
will be required since Coastie will travel with all of its equipment
in a 4x6 foot enclosed trailer.
The present plan is to
station these Coasties around the District and I am looking for
some of our Coastie Operators to assume possession of these Coasties
and trailers. I would welcome any and all applications to become
the proud possessor of one of these cute little boats. I will welcome
even those who have not been trained (I will train them) and wish
to become an Assistant Coastie Chairman.
If any of you are interested
please contact me at:

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD AUXILIARY

Coastie’s Report
to the District Board
During my recent trip
to Great Britain, Coastie was able to get around the District with
little or no help from me. During my absence he traveled to Flotilla
20-04 and then on to the open house at Grp/Mso LIS. The folks from
Flotilla 15-09 came down and picked him up for use with some Water-n-Kids
classes, which by the way were a great success, I’m told. Tom
Venizio sent me some great pictures with Coastie and his classmates.
Tom is attempting to get permission to publish them on our web site.
After his trip to the
mountains, it was on to Flotilla 24-12 for the Memorial Day Weekend
and he was held over to Thursday and Friday, June 1st and 2nd. Then
it was on to the Adirondacks and the New York State Telecommunications
Association. On June 4th to 6th.
His next appearance will
be at OPSAIL in New London on July 11th to the 15th. After that
he will be at the Coast Guard Academy on August 4th and at the Intrepid
Museum on Saturday and Sunday, August 5th and 6th. Come out and
join him and his friends.
Coastie has many open
dates and he just loves to travel meeting all of his young friends.
Get together with your unit and let me and VCO Huling know when
you want him.
Coastie can be reached
at mailto:artreich@westnet.com
IMPORTANT
Any one using Coastie
must supply me with a copy of any photos or newspaper clippings
for his scrapbook!

June 2000
As I have already
reported, Coastie was invited to Washington, DC as part of
Public Service Recognition Week on the National Mall.
While he was there,
he met and made many new friends including Smokey the Bear,
his old friends from the Customs Service, as well as many
of his small friends. He got a chance to see the Custom service
Helicopter and a high-speed patrol boat.
Commodore Reichling
has received a thank you letter from Vice Admiral T. W. Josiah,
Chief of Staff, United States Coast Guard, thanking him for
his service in helping to tell the Coast Guard story. He also
mentions the great popularity of Coastie and the many requests
for his appearance at other events.
Just a reminder
that if you want Coastie to come to your event you only need
E-mail both me (artreich@westnet.com)
and the Vice Commodore (billhuling.cgaux@snet.net)
and if the date is open, he’s yours. Also remember that
if I can’t come with Coastie you will need a van or truck
to haul him.
Until we meet at
your event keep SMILING. :>)
