GLHS/MAST

For the second straight year, I attended the Great Lakes Historical Society Dinner in conjunction with the Maritime Archaeological Survey Team training weekend.  The dinner, held in Elyria, was on April 30, 2011 and included a delicious meal, silent auction, guest speaker, and lots of opportunities to visit with old friends and meet new ones, too.

Among the awards presented this year was the MAST Volunteer of the year.  Fellow PADI Instructor, Vince Frodl, was given this award for his time and service to the organization!

As an "advanced" student taking the workshop this weekend, I had the opportunity to help teach and work with two basic/beginning MAST students, Bob Vincent & Tom Gonya.  Below, they are working with triangulation to map out various points on our "wreck".  As always, it was a good weekend and Carrie and the MAST instructors put on a good weekend!
