Notes from the January Meeting / Holiday Party

Congratulations to our club officers for 2007:

  • President: David Merbach
  • Vice President: Bob Silbaugh
  • Treasurer: Dan Lovik
  • Editor: Roger Southwick

Our special guest speaker Capt. Jay Hanson presented some interesting stories & video from Lake Superior and one of their recent wreck discoveries.

If you missed the party, here's a sample quote from Frank H: "Joseph is about the only normal diver I know."

Here is the quiz with answers.

Remember that we've switched to a January-to-January membership. If you haven't renewed for 2007, please use this form. Thanks!
