• Lenora Clark, Staff Commodore of the Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association,

I am the grateful recipient of knowledge, introductions and mentorship of these wonderful men and women and just want to say, thank you for your leadership, warmth and friendship.  At this time in our history, I wanted to give acknowledgement to this people, without whom, I could not have done what I do today.
