Hermit Point, July 1, voted to endorse the name 
of Frederic Andreas for'commodore of the as¬ 
sociation for the coming year. Mr. Andreas, 
who was not present at the above meeting, upon 
being appraised of the action, stated that he 
would be unable to serve the association in the 
capacity of commodore at this time and would 
therefore ask that his name be withdrawn. The 
Atlantic Division called a meeting on the island 
at 5 o’clock this date, and as the result of that 
meeting your nominating committee would re¬ 
spectfully submit the following named persons 
to serve the association for the coming year: 
Commodore, Payne L. Kretzmer; Secretary, 
Louis Reichert. 
The report of the committee was accepted and 
on motion of Mr. Tim, the secretary, cast the 
ballot, and the above nominees were unanimously 
elected to serve the association for the year 1912. 
On motion of Mr. Furman, seconded by Mr. 
Douglass, that a resolution be adopted extend¬ 
ing to Robt. J. Wilkin, who has served the asso¬ 
ciation as chairman of the board of governors 
since its organization, out of deep appreciation 
for ardent labors in behalf of the association 
and our extreme regret at his retirement from 
the board at this time. 
The commodore elect was presented and fit¬ 
tingly expressed his appreciation for the honor 
conferred upon him.
