Art retired from volunteer services to the boating community and moved to Florida, After serving for many years as a Delegate and then on the Board of the CBYCA as a State Legislative Director for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, . It was just a few weeks ago that we had conversations with him. Though the many years, Art attended our meetings even when certain medical aliments would have caused many of us to just stay home, but Art always was ready to serve and did so with astonishing detail to events or actions that could affect boaters everywhere. We will Miss You Art. When Caren Friedman met to discuss arrangements Delaware River YC realized that the club facility wouldn't be able to accommodate Art's friends and family comfortably, so we had to move to plan "B". It's literally next door to the club so finding it shouldn't be a problem. It is important that you RSVP to Caren so they'll know how to arrange the seating, We've had a change in time and venue for my father's memorial service. It will still be held on Saturday, February, 9th, but it will begin at 3:00 pm and will take place at the Glen Foerd Mansion (see directions link below). If you could RSVP so I could get a sense of how many people will be attending, that would be really helpful. The service will be informal and we welcome anyone to feel free to share memories of my Dad. THANK YOU - CAREN FRIEDMAN

Charles Wilbur "Stretch" Crisp, a retired distillery supervisor and collector of vintage Jaguars, was pronounced dead Saturday at Chester County Hospital in West Chester, Pa. The Woodlawn resident was 66. Mr. Crisp was attending a Cars of England at Oakbourne Mansion classic automobile meet in Westtown, Pa., when, while accepting an award for one of his Jaguars with his wife, he was stricken with the massive heart attack that took his life, family members said.
"He was having the time of his life after winning a perfect score for one of his prized Jaguars," said Gail S. F. Cox, a daughter-in-law who lives in Charlotte, N.C. "He was doing what he loved with people he loved." Mr. Crisp, the son of an engineer and an educator, was born in Greensboro, N.C. He spent his early years in Greensboro and Marion, N.C., before moving with his family to Cheverly. He was a 1961 graduate of Fairmount Heights High School and earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1965 from Hampton University.
Mr. Crisp, who earned the nichname "Stretch" because of his 6-feet-5-inch height, worked for Joseph E. Seagram and Sons for 35 years at plants in New Jersey and New York, while living in Somerset, N.J. He began his career as a chemist and was promoted to lead packing engineer and later was bottling line supervisor.
His last position before retiring in 2000 was in corporate, where he designed and implemented package coding, security packing, inventory control systems and the electronic package monitoring system that is still used by the company. He also was a founder and first president of Associated Managers, a black professional managers organization that helps recruit, promote and retain black Seagram managers. With the support of the Bronfman family, owners of Seagram, the group was able to establish a minority scholarship fund that has contributed more than $2 million to historically black colleges and universities.
Mr. Crisp, who moved to Woodlawn in 2000, owned two 1993 Jaguar XJR roadsters and a 1971 Jaguar E-type. He was a member of the boards of John Paul Regional Catholic School in Woodlawn and Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Mr. Crisp enjoyed fishing and boating, and was a member and past commodore of the Neptune Yacht Club. At his request, some of his ashes will be spread at his three favorite fishing locations — the Susquehanna River, Chesapeake Bay and Lake Gaston in North Carolina. A memorial service will be held at noon Saturday at his church, 929 Ingleside Ave., Catonsville.
Also surviving are his wife of 15 years, the former Patricia Murphy; two sons, Charles B. Crisp of Miami and Ira W. Cox of Charlotte, N.C.; a daughter, Kelly R. Crisp of Cheverly; and three grandchildren. An earlier marriage to the former Amy West ended in divorce.

Schweizer, to whom he was married for sixty-three years. Mr. Schweizer had a distinguished forty-four year career as an executive in the commercial air cargo industry. After working during high school as a camp counselor at the YMCA’s Camp Pratt on Staten Island, and during college as a ticket agent for the Hudson River Day Line, he began his professional career in New York City as an export document clerk at the Yokohama Bank and then as a ticket agent for American Airlines. After wartime duty as an officer in the United States Navy at Alameda Naval Air Station in California, he again worked briefly for American Airlines in Albany, NY before returning to New York City where he held positions, successively, at U.

He moved with the company from New York City to Washington, D.C. and then Annapolis, MD until retiring in 1983. Mr. Schweizer was recognized in 1964 for the contribution he made in making it the most successful year in ACI’s history. During his career he taught courses in air transportation and traffic management at the Academy of Advanced Traffic in New York City. His professional associations in New York City included memberships in the Traffic Club, the Wings Club, the Bon Vivants, and a term as president of the Air Cargo Sales Club. Mr. Schweizer attended Manual Training High School in Brooklyn, NY and Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, PA where he studied economics and transportation, and was graduated in 1939 with a BA, cum laude with departmental honors in economics.

They joined the Kent Island Yacht Club where Al served as Commodore in 1984. Ten years later he was Commodore of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club Association.

The Honorable Judge Edwin J. Wolf passes at Age 100 Judge Edwin Wolf and his wife Jane (CBYCA Secretary) traveled with the Honorable Bill B. Matthews Jr. and the founding members of the CBYCA 50 years ago. They traveled all over New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Many times the travel was very long and often the weather was miserable. They felt then that boaters need to have one common organization to act as a liaison and establish standards among the boating clubs. He worked for all of us and was committed to the CBYCA.
This was told to me by Judge Wolf during a phone conversation several years ago as I responded to a letter he wrote supporting the CBYCA and a particular interest in his regular copy of the Chartroom Chatter. He was 98 Years old at the time and had a memory as sharp as a picture book. I asked him if he would like to visit the membership and he said would “When it is warm out but I might need some help.” Here is a letter from our friend now departed. May he rest in peace.

1977 CBYCA PAST COMMODORE DOUGLAS G. MICHAEL
More Picture Memories Click Here With sadness we report our Past Commodore Douglas G. Michael (CBYCA-1977) passed away, after a short illness, on April 23, 2006 at the age of 85. P/C Michael was born March 16, 1921, in Colwyn, Pa. He and his wife Marie “Pete”, lived in Odessa, Delaware for over 32 years before moving to Rotonda West, Florida where they have resided for the past 15 years.
Douglas and Marie recently celebrated their 61st marriage anniversary this past Easter. Over the many years they traveled all over the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii. They also visited as many of Caribbean Islands as they could find on the map. Boating was a way of life for the couple. Douglas owned some type of a boat almost all of his life. Many of their boating years were spent at Kent Island Yacht Club where he achieved the rank of Commodore. Douglas was a great supporter of the boating community.
He and Marie traveled the ICW from the Severn River to Florida. That trip became the highlight of their boating experiences. That is - aside from the time he left his wife on the boat at Kent Island during a Hurricane and the boat floated above the docks with the lines buried deep in the water.
Doug worked at the refinery as a planning analyst throughout the various name changes of the facility. When not working or supporting boating, Doug was a volunteer Fireman dedicating himself to the needs of others in his community. After moving to Florida in 1990 he became a member of the Elks Lodge 2710 in Rotonda West.
His Family is wife of 61 years, Marie "Pete"; a daughter, Susan Figgatt of South Hill, Va.; a sister, Frances Riess of Edgewater; one grandson, three granddaughters; and five great-grandsons and the boating community which are indebted to him for all his years of service.
