What Are You Interested in Learning ? By Tim Marks , DSO-PB
In talking with Steve Marthouse , our 5NR Historian , he thought it would be interesting and more valuable to you , the members , if he would have your input as to what you might like him to write about , cover , or explain rather than him trying to write something that he thinks you would be interested in .
The idea is that Steve would create a column in each newsletter such as " Ask the Auxiliary Historian " or " Ever wonder why the Auxiliary ______________?”
So , here is your chance ! The Coast Guard Auxiliary and 5NR have a long and storied history , with the Coast Guard having a history as old as the country . Is there something you were wondering about ? Is there a topic you wanted to learn more about ? Is there a piece of Coast Guard or Auxiliary history that you wish you knew more about ?
Feel free to ask your questions directly to Historian Marthouse . He will then address them in future issues of Topside .
