It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Bob Jenny. He died this morning (Saturday, 23 February).

Bob owned his own engineering firm, specializing in tunnel construction and maintenance projects, including tunnels in New York City, the metropolitan area, and around the world. Bob served in the US Army during the Korean War. Bob took up flying in recent years, and recently became an AuxAir First Pilot.

Over the August 24-26 weekend, D1SR conducted a drill to test the emergency planning cpabilities of all units. AuxAir responded well, and many members flew patrols. The emphasis was on Maritime Domain Awareness and America's Waterway Watch. In case you thought that 10-20 members only fly for the Auxiliary, here is a photo of VFC Judi DiMaio conducting a Vessel Safety Check at the Edison public boat ramp.

Spring Fly-In

On June second and third, "our" Air Station, CG Air Station Cape Cod hosted all District 1 Auxiliarists for a fly-in and workshop and fellowship meeting. We also bid a fond farewell to Commander Tom Maine, and Lieutenant Dave Aldous as they are on their way very soon to new assignments. We also met our new Auxiliary Liaison, Lieutenant Phil Thisse.

As a way of saying thanks to the AuxAir members, LT. Aldous conducted a raffle for a plane wash, the washing to be done by LTs Aldous and Thisse. The winner was 10-20's own Bob Ewing, and N876EE! Here is a photo of our Aux LIaisons hard at work on Bob's plane.
