Drew, would you please distribute this announcement to the cruisers? Some will have already been notified by other means, but we would like the info to go to as many as possible. Thank you.
Bob and Ruth Bettinger have been notified by the US Coast Guard that their son, Mickey, a TSS member stationed in Alaska, was killed in an accident. Mass will be celebrated at St Anne’s Catholic Church in Ruskin on Friday Morning the 26th of March at 10:00 A.M. Following Mass, at 12:00 noon, TSS members and guests are invited to a Wake at the TSS Club House. Please pass this information to those who would want to know. Please keep Bob and Ruth in your thoughts and prayers.
The Wake at TSS: The Bettingers are providing beverages and we are asked to provide finger food and snacks. Groups from the Coast Guard Station and the St. Pete Marina will be joining us, so food to share will be appreciated by all.
