[C38] Commodore

[Charles B. Finn]

  It is with a bit of a heavy heart I accepted Larry's request to become 
Commodore.  Larry has been an excellent Commodore over the past years, 
with an infectious humor and enthusiasm.  His Trans Pac adventures were 
inspiring to us all and... the terrible fire on Hassle... a somber 
reminder.   While Larry is stepping down, he has promised to remain an 
avid supporter of the Association and of C38s!  In fact, we are cooking 
up an idea for 2012 that could be quite interesting!  Thank you again 
Larry for your leadership and commitment.

Now to business, our Association is critically short of officers!  I am 
a "team" player to the very core and am looking for some folks to step 
forward to keep our organization alive and thriving.  Our Treasurer, 
Steve Orton, and I  will be contacting folks regarding vacancies in the 
very near future and we hope you can help out.   We cannot do this alone!

In the meantime, I will continue to administer the website and 
listserve.  My son, Anders, is just about ready to run out our new 
website which should be a real improvement.  I am trying to gather up 
the Technical Editor articles authored by our incredible former editor, 
Tom Troncalli and hopefully will have them available.  We also will have 
a "members only" area which will contain location information so we 
wandering lovers of our wonderful boats can more easily connect.

Much, much more later.   Thanks again Larry!
Chuck Finn
Commodore
