COMMANDER’S CORNER
...Cdr Howard Bernstein, AP
I hope our Members and Squadron Families had a
safe and memorable summer and, as am I, arelooking forward to an exciting, fun filled and educational Fall season of boating and camaraderie.
SEO John Locke with wife and KNSPS Treasurer Barbara, and P/C Dick Radlinski with wife
Phyllis have been cruising all summer and we can
expect to hear wonderful stories of their adventures. I hope to see each of you at the monthly
Membership Meetings, starting 17 Sep at KIYC
and then the third Wednesday of each following
month where we can hear from John and Dick as
well as others who will share their exciting summer adventures, and where we can enjoy together
the KIYC food and drink.
It is not too early to think about your 2015 Bridge
Officers and elected Committee Members. In addition to your Bridge offices we will be electing
an At Large Member to
the Executive Committee and a member of
each of the Auditing,
Nominating, and Rules
Committees. Please
send your recommendations for elected positions to our Nominating Committee.

Summer is about over and I hope everyone had a
great one!
Saturday, 12 July was our Culinary Rendezvous.
We were originally to have met at the Miles River
Yacht Club in St Michaels, however, if you can believe
it, we had too many people so it was changed to St.
Michaels Steak & Crab House. Everyone had a great
time and enjoyed the delicious food!
Our Membership meetings start back up this month.
They are scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday of each
month at the Kent Island Yacht Club (KIYC), Social
Hour is 1800 – 1900, a short business
meeting 1900– 1915, a Buffet dinner and
then a guest speaker. Cost is $15.95 per
person.
This month our guest speakers are Helen
Wood and Dan Wroe. They are Flight Instructors at
Chesapeake Sport Pilots, LLC and will be speaking on
Seaplanes. It should be a very interesting presentation. Please contact me, Kathy Burke at [email protected] or 410-279-0818 by Sunday 14
September so you can be added to the count for
meals.
On 15 October, our speaker will be Sandi Wiscott, Director of Operations, Queen Anne’s County Emergency Food Pantry. She will discuss how our donations
that we make in November and March of each year
help the County.

From the Desk of the Membership Chair
...Lt Marie Murphy, S
The cycle of life was never more evident than in our
Squadron in July and August.
On 2 Aug P/C Carl Larsen and his wife Tulinda had the
renaming ceremony for their boat which now is named
‘Skylark’. They then beautifully assisted their daughter Jenny into the next phase of her life when she married on Saturday, 9 Aug at the Cambridge Marriott. Carl and Tulinda departed from KIYC on their newly christened boat loaded
with wedding provisions. And not only do the Larsens
have a new son-in-law, they have their first grandchild, a
new granddaughter named Naomi Larsen born to their son
and daughter-in-law in July. Congratulations on all fronts.
P/D/C Marty and P/C Sari Lafferty are thrilled at the arrival of their new granddaughter, Ada Carina Lafferty, born to
their son David and daughter-in-law Emily. Congratulations
to the new Grandparents!
Sadly, we said Good Bye to Lt/C Vincent Butler, S on 28
July 2014. Vince served as the 2014 Executive Officer until
his health prevented him from continuing his duties. Vince
was a graduate of Georgetown Preparatory School in Rockville, MD; attended college at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis and Loyola College in Baltimore. He went on to obtain his law degree at University of Baltimore Law School.
Vince and his wife Andrea have been active participants in
our Squadron. Vince is survived by his wife, Andrea, sons
Patrick, James and John, daughter Erin Marie, three step
children, two step grandchildren , three brothers and seven
sisters. Vince was a true gentleman. We will all miss him.
His family has asked that if you would like to remember
Vince, please make donations to The American Cancer Society.

Ladies Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch met at
Kentmorr Restaurant in
August and had another
wonderful meal. Selections ranged from Blue
Burgers to crab cakes to
salads – all delicious. And
although the food was
good, the company was even better!
Our Farewell-to-Summer Lunch will begin at
noon on 10 Sep at Town Dock Restaurant in St.
Michael’s (125 Mulberry St). Post-lunch shopping is optional, but highly recommended.
All USPS ladies are welcome to join us and
bring along a friend or two. Contact Pat Worns
at [email protected] or 410-827-9841. We
hope to see you there!
