LETTERS on other boats, all my training and experience was never forgotten and always made me proud to have had the experiences thanks to the Sea Rescue training and Dave as well. Regrettably I have never been in a work location or functional job situation since leaving school that allowed me effectively to volunteer again to be of service to the NSRI as a crew member, despite my desire to do so. I have walked or driven past stations on many occasions and wondered how rewarding it could have been to be able to assist others in need when they most needed it. Alas, circumstances dictate and this is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. I make a financial contribution to the NSRI every month (in a small way) towards keeping this boat afloat. I take my hat off to the men and women who are dedicated to this process and who volunteer their services in sometimes the most dangerous of situations on the seas and inland waters. Many thanks!
