North Orange County Watch Flotilla 66

It is Never Too Early to Discuss Boating Safety
By Anne Evans

Our granddaughter, five-year-old Maya Evans (pictured), announced during a recent
lesson on water safety and the USCG that her grandparents are in the Coast Guard.
Lisa Dominguez, the Preppy K teacher at Glenknoll Elementary School in Yorba Linda,
invited Ramon and me to give her class a USCG Auxiliary presentation on 24 October.
The students were receptive and enjoyed watching our assistant, Maya, trying on a
properly fitting personal flotation device (PFD). Exceptionally well received was the
demonstration of outfitting a dog in a PFD (not pictured).

and Ramon Evans, proudly demonstrates
how to wear a personal flotation device.

Notes:
1. Maya’s mother, Lorraine J. Evans, has
consented to publishing this photo of Maya.
2. Despite being indoors, the children really
wanted to see Ramon wearing his garrison
cap. They loved the uniform!

The Annual Flotilla 66 Picnic – A Tradition of Fellowship and Camaraderie!
By Anne Evans

A great time was had by all who attended our flotilla picnic this summer. Sincere thanks
to Ramon Evans for organizing and setting up the event. Special thanks to Richard
Crompton and James Tao for assisting with set up and cooking. Richard even brought
a fine collection of country music recordings to provide a festive mood. BZ to guest
Deanne Crompton, who provided a delicious chocolate cake with 114-06-06 iced on top.
Thank you to all the attendees, both members and guests, and even to Lily the Dog,
accompanied by VFC Heather Shanahan. If you were not able to attend this year, do
plan to join us at the 2020 picnic. A wonderful day of fellowship is to be expected.
