The weather was much better for this event than it was for the last event in March!  The Spring Meeting and Luncheon was held at the Holiday Inn in Nashua on May 14, 2005.  It was the first time we had returned to the Holiday Inn in a number of years, and it was better than before.  142 members and guests were well fed and enjoyed a fascinating and informative presentation by our guest speaker.  We were honored to have RADM David P. Pekoske, USCG, Commander, First Coast Guard District in Boston travel to New Hampshire to provide us with an overview of the vital role played by the men and women of the Coast Guard, especially close to home here in New England!  At the beginning of his remarks, he pointed out that he occupies the same official quarters as chapter member RADM Ray Wood, USCG (Ret.), when Ray held the same billet as Commander, First Coast Guard District.  They definitely had an opportunity to reminisce about past experiences!  A good time was had by all!
