Thanks to Rosie and Bill Young for the pictures; and a special thanks to all the Merry Mariners who participated in creating, decorating and playing the ladies and gentleman of the riverboat era in the heat of the day.

A special thanks to Al Phelps for his magnificent design; to Clare Candelori for her artistic contributions, to Rosie Young for the great backdrop and to Tee Fisher for oganizing all the race day players.

I am very proud to be the commodore of such a fine organization.
