"This
is the nicest reception we've ever seen," said a gunnery sergeant from
the Ashland. "Usually we get hors d'oeuvres served on a card table
on the sidewalk." "But this … [gesturing at the multiple carving
stations, live music and the police Pipe and Drum Corps] .. is something
else. A big thank you to the members of the Coral Ridge Yacht
Club. What a wonderful location you have here. We won't
forget it"
