EMYC - Parade of Model Boats 2003

Jun 11, 2003
The EMYC Parade of Model boats in Edina, Minnesota on June 8, 2003 pulled of without a hitch. SubCommittee members in attendance included Gary Phillips, Tim Smalley, Tom Pallo and Mike Day. There were 150 boats - most of them "targets" but there were six subs - including USS Albacore by new SR6 member Gary Phillips of Eagan, MN and a beautiful Disney Nautilus by a non-SubRon 6 member, Kirk Brust. The weather cooperated for most of the day and there were an estimated 2,000 spectators plus two TV news crews taped the event.
