School’s out and the summer is beginning!!

Liam Ballantyne, son of Peter and Angela Ballantyne, is spending his summer on-board the United States Coast Guard’s Barque Eagle. Liam, aboard the Eagle, is sailing across the Atlantic heading toward Norfolk, VA. He was kind enough to send the following pictures home.

So I’m not into selfie’s but here is the story that goes with the above picture. We’re trying to get the Casino painted and the golf benches were stored inside for the winter. So around Memorial Day they got moved around the back. So the painters are now trying to finish the back and the benches are in the way – so I asked Mr. Quick if I could move them out onto the golf course. So today we started moving them. The dedications on the benches brought all types of memories back to me of the people whose names are emblazoned on the backs. So, because I’m getting older, as I stopped to take a break on the bench dedicated to Mr. Corby, I remembered that when I was about 8 years old, he gave me my first set of left-handed golf clubs. He said to me the day he gave them to me. “Sometime when you’re out on the course, take a break and remember who gave you your first set of clubs.” So I did it, and here’s the picture. Looking forward to a great summer of 2016 and new happy memories for everyone!
