The Squadron lost one of our valuable members at the beginning of this year. Charlie Cartmel was our 'Knot Man' for many years. He taught the Boating, Sea Sail, Sea Power and Piloting courses who to tie knots and what rope to use. He used to have a story to go with each.

He served as secretary on the Bridge and recently was the auditor for the Squadron. He always answered the call if there was extra work to be done. Charlie's cheerful attitude about problems will be remembered by all who know him.

Our sympathy goes to his wife, Olive, and his son,l Rick, who are members of our squadron.

We wish him a secure corner on Fiddlers' Green.
