There was a formal change of command ceremony yesterday at U.S. Coast Guard Station Menemsha.
Under crisp blue skies, with a gentle breeze accompanying the clear view of the Elizabeth Islands and Vineyard Sound, chief boatswain’s mate Jason Olsen was installed as the new chief of the station. Now officer in charge here, Mr. Olsen’s last assignment was in North Carolina, where he was executive petty officer at the station Fort Macon.
Holiday greetings near and far were enjoyed by one and all whether they remained at home or ventured far away. This holiday season has been a much quieter one for many people. I have personally kept up with family and friends around the globe, and we all seek renewed hope in 2010 and a year of happiness, health and peace. Happy New Year.
