We donated our photography for a fundraiser. Glad to help friends in the maritime industry. especially Beth Wilson-Jordan who is Executive Director of the Education Foundation of the Connecticut Maritime Association. The “CMA Shipping 2023” conference was a hit, well done Beth. The donations (for a quick portrait) raised money for scholarships and intern stipends which help to strengthen & support the industry.
Many don’t know but I have a Marine Engineering degree from the US Merchant Marine Academy, and served in the Naval Reserve. I’ve sailed the world aboard merchant ships it was quite the experience. I’ve always enjoyed the spirit of comradeship so to be amongst everyone in the maritime industry again was a true pleasure.
