In memoriam: Bill "Tiny" Tauber

Tiny and camera with 6-6
Bill “Tiny” Tauber (far left in photo, above) passed away February 20, 2009 at the age of 79. He was a retired Army Lt Col and former Boy Scout troop leader. Within in our Flotilla, he was the FSO-Publications, and created a monthly scrapbook with photos and captions until his health began to decline. He reached the 40 year milestone of USCG Auxiliary service on February 14th, just before his death. His comraderie and service to the flotillla is certainly missed.
