Rotary Club of Felixstowe Landguard

On Thursday night, Dave, Eric, and I gave a joint presentation on the U.S. Naval Academy to the Rotary Club of Felixstowe Landguard. Felixstowe has a rich naval history an is currently the largest container shipping port in the UK. The evening was a lot of fun with drinks and dinner followed by our presentation. Many of the Rotarians brought their wives along for the evening and I got to speak with several of them. They were very impressed with our presentation. The club's foundation officer, David Crerar, even sent us a message afterwords saying "I think you got the message quite clearly that my fellow Rotarians and our guests very much enjoyed your presentation. They were impressed by the training you had experienced at Annapolis and how your time at Cambridge was going to help you in the future. You certainly satisfied your obligation to act as goodwill ambassadors for your country. We appreciate the time you gave us during your busy academic schedule, and wish you well in the future. If you do get the opportunity to visit Felixstowe during daylight hours before you leave the UK, I shall be delighted to show you more of the historical and current nautical aspects of the town."

Unfortunately, my camera died so I wasn't able to get any pictures. On the bright side, I brought home another bottle on wine because one of the Rotarians won it in the raffle and gave it to me!
