PETE MAGOSKI led us in the Pledge followed by a change in the traditional song by the TRIO of JIM BLACKBURN, BILL PELOQUIN and HOWARD WOOD.
This time we led off with "The Star Spangled Banner". It was sung in a traditional tempo much more acceptable than the "rock style" unrecognizable butchery usually heard at major sporting event. BZ to the Rotarians in traditional good voice! JOE LINS, a relatively new kid in Rotary, reflected on his enjoyment of the encouragement, compliments, listening, gratitude and compassion at our meetings. In additioning to Friendship, he offerd thanks to Charlie and her food staff and the Lord for our blessings at the buffet. RICK CRANE presided over the INTRODUCTIONS Newport Beach Rotarian Robert D.

THE PROGRAM giving us a fine POWER POINT SHOW of the Lighthouses around the USA by CARL MORRISON, Author and Photographer of Historic sites. There are 850 lighthouses in the United States. The majority of them are located in the Great Lakes region, especially in Michigan. Lighthouse tours and tourist accommodations are available in some of the most scenic spots in the United States. The Coast Guard operates the active lighthouses and the National Park Service handles the tourist activity. Many of the lighthouses are painted with a distinctive color which characterizes their indentity with the area. One may locate them on the Internet. Your Rotascribe recalled with fondness passing Race Rock lighthouse on Long Island just at the entrance of the Thames River on many submarine sorties going and coming to the Submarine Base New London. CARL MORRISON made fine presentation. Many thanks to RAY HANSEN for inviting him.
