     I had a wonderful time yesterday with M.W. Dieter B. Hees and the officers of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. Both the tour of the United States Coast Guard base and the Memorial dedication afterwards were memorable experiences. Prints of a sketch I made for the occasion were given to all in attendance. I'm very proud to have been invited to take part in today's events. Special thanks to R.W. Moises Gomez for all of his work in coordinating the schedule.

My wife, Janet Simpkins, took lots of photos. (posted below)
