  • Coast Guard Combat Veterans Assoeiation
    Coast Guard Combat Veterans Assoeiation OCTOBER,1991 NEWSLETTER PRESIDENT BOB MAXWELL RESIGNS Bob Maxwell turned the helm over to Dick Stent citing health reasons for his inability to continue as our President. Bob joined us in Reno, 1986 Reunion and had some great ideas concerning where we should be going. Bob was elected President at the 1988 Reunion, also in Reno, and re-elected in 1990, Baltimore. Presenting an award to the U. S. Representat­ ive and U. S. Senator at each re-union in appreciation for their help of the U. S. Coast Guard during the preceeding two year period was one of Bob's many ideas. Also the honor­ ing of the outstanding Coast Guard person for the same period was placed in effect during Bob's tour. We all know that the Coast Guard gets very little recognition for the things that have been done and are currently being accomplished. Bob wanted to see publicity at all levels on a continuing basis. We will miss Bob Maxwell's leadership and wish for a restoration of health at the earliest time possible. Bob Maxwell started his military career in the U. S. Navy, served in IOWA, number two turret, during the Korean War and saw extensive Coast Guard service in Viet Nam. Bob and his wife Jane live in Burney, California. Jane is Treasurer of the CGCVA Auxiliary and has put in many hours of hard ~orK for the CGCVA. PRESIDENT DICK STENT'S MESSAGE Dick Stent, the "Doc" on the MODOC during WWII has accepted the Presidency of the CGCVA and indicated that this is a tremendous responsibility.
