  • Trophy Dinner Slide Show 2004  To re-live the summer of 2004, click on the red lettering for the slide show presented at our Trophy Dinner.  Pictures were taken by Mike Terry, our Sailing Master for 2004.  If you would like to receive high resolution copies of any of these pictures, Mike will be glad to send you a disk of the entire collection for $20 to cover his costs.  Mike can be reached at msterry(at)chartermi.net . (Note: The slide show cycles pictures at four seconds apiece;  if your internet connection is too slow, only parts of some pictures will be shown the first time through.  If you let the show run to its end, it will repeat, hopefully with all the picture files downloaded.  Telephone modems probably won't work.)
