I have volunteered as a search and rescue commander, first with the Coast Guard Auxillary, and now with the Canadian Lifeboat institution for over 35 years. Recently I was presented with a certificate of achievement by Mike Mitchell, the then Search and Rescue Program Officer, for my 35 years of volunteer service.
