Brendan and Joyce Earls, of Flotilla 13-07, with the 13 th divisions newest member, Sheine Epsteine of 13-12, and her escort Rick Robinson of Flotilla 18-03. Sheine was one of the prospective members who attended the new division prospective member training series. She was administered the pledge of membership at this division change of watch. You just can’t get any newer than that! Welcome aboard Sheine were proud of you.

BMCM Thomas Botzenhart, OINC Station Jones Beach, Anthony D’Agostino, FC13-11, Hal Marschall, DCP-13, all take a moment to pose for the paparazzi.

Ron Tomo, VFC 13-13 (sparky), and Rita Shaver, FC 13-13. Ron is telling Rita about the new billion-dollar transceiver he just installed in his ham shack. Ron, 73.or is it 71?

Flotilla 13-12 members and their guests.

Flotilla 13-13 members and their guests. That’s “Thomas” peeking from behind the flowers.

Flotilla 13-11 members and their guests. How does Tony manage to get in all these pictures?

Flotilla 13-06, members and their guests. This table has a great seating arrangement. it begins on the left with their newest auxiliary member Lauren Mindermann, and has their longest auxiliary member, Martin Solomon on the right. I guess the auxiliary does bridge the generation gap quite well.

Flotilla 13-09 members and their guests again. Is this two tables or do they just keep moving around?

There you have it, the division change of watch for 2005. it was quite a splendid affair. the food was good the music was fine and the members were given recognition for their accomplishments. Our families were proud and we fostered the fourth cornerstone of our mission statement; fellowship we can’t ask for more than that. I hope to see you all next year and lets make it a real formal affair.
