Some of the Legionnaires attended the service of C.B.M. David L. Smith of Boothbay which was followed by a get-together of Coast Guard members and friends. It was a sad day for all present.

Veterans of all U.S. services from all wars and conflicts, as well as active military personnel and our Gold Star widows and mothers were invited to an evening dinner meeting at the Rotary Cub on November 8. This was the second year the Rotary has done this and we all had a good evening. The guest speaker was a Maine National Guard Lt. Col. David Duehring, who spent 15 months in Afghanistan and Iraq building schools and infrastructures there.

The Post had its flag disposal on November 12, with 15 scouts, 17 veterans and 10 others present. It went very well. We would like to thank the den mothers for bringing the girls up to help. They all did a very good job.

Legion Adjutant Palmer Paine and another Legionnaire went to St. Andrews Village to give a lecture on why we have a Veterans Day and how it came about.

The business meeting was on November 12 and there were 12 Legionnaires and six Auxiliary ladies present.

Members voted to send a thank you note to the Rotary for their hospitality.

Al Sherman is now 86. Happy Birthday Al, from all of us at the post.

Joe Coombs is now in St. Andrews Hospital; check to see if he can have visitors before you go to see him.

The Post welcomed three new members; George Duszynski, Thomas Maynes and Gardiner Rapelye.

No breakfast report in this column because of an early deadline. I hope to see you at breakfast Ed.
