Did you ever notice that the news never seems to get it right. The Auxiliary and the NHMP are working together, a great new relationship but it won't be underway. The Auxiliary will be mostly working on public education and vessel exams. That is where the news got off course.

The great part of the Irwin show (Thanks Irwins) was to build on a relationship with the US Power Squadron. They are excellent people and really know their stuff. I can remember my step dad doing power squadron work on the Lake in the 50s. So if you hear of the USPS doing public education or vessel exams jump on it.

Thank you, as a member of the Lakes Region Power Squadron, your kind words are appreciated. The education that USPS and USCG Aux do on land will take pressure off the MP on the water!
