Thanks to all who participated in the Sgt. Edwin Rivera Benefit, we had a good NLMC turnout, and we looked great. We rode in 2x2 lead by our Road Captain, in Honor Guard fashion to our own special reserved parking area. There was some good food and a real great band.
The Connecticut State Police utilized 15 of our Road Guards at 4 various interstate 95 traffic post, and we additionally utilized 6 Road Guards at various Waterford, Niantic River Road locations. There were another 10 members riding behind the Road Captain and myself, and we were riding directly behind the State Police lead vehicle. Patti Duerrler actually rode in the Police Vehicle with a hand help portable CB radio so we had communications with CSP. Our Road Captain did a great job deploying/activating Road Guards as we neared their post in a very clear articulate voice. It was really cool watching Post 1 Road Guards, safety green vested, riding 4 abreast on N. Frontage Road with a line of traffic following as they blocked access to I95 as the parade ran by. At every post it was the same proffessional look.
At the end, NLMC staged on Millstone Road. CSP Sgt. Richard Crooks was so impressed with NLMC he made a point to walk over to our group and say how impressed he was and that it was a pleasure to work with professionals. Some of our members also received Kudos from Waterford Police and some members from the Hog Chapter. We all went into Sunset Ribs and ate again, ice cream wasn't in the plan. I am proud of this Club and I love this Club.
The President
