About May’s Dinner Speaker James D. Snyder Jim Snyder is an author/historian based in Tequesta,
FL. His first two books were the historical novel All
God’s Children (1999) and a history, The Faith and the
Power (2002). Both illuminate the murky forty years
following the crucifixion of Jesus by taking into ac-
count Roman, Jewish, Greek and Christian writings of
the first century. The Faith and the Power was runner-
up for the Benjamin Franklin Award for the best book
on religion in 2003.
In 2002 Snyder authored Life and Death on the
Loxahatchee: The Story of Trapper Nelson, a book that
has captivated South Florida and won the silver (2nd)
prize in the Florida Publisher’s Association book-of-
the-year awards. His 4th book, published in November
2003, is a pictorial history of Jupiter-Tequesta entitled Five Thousand Years on the Loxahatchee.
In 2005 Snyder authored Black Gold and Silver Sands, A Pictorial History of Agriculture in
Palm Beach County. Published by the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, the book tells of
the courage of farm families over 150 years as they braved frosts, floods, hurricanes and the
Great Depression to create one of the nation’s most thriving agribusiness counties.
His most recent book is A Light in the Wilderness: The Story of Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and
the Southeast Florida Frontier. It begins by explaining why planners in Washington would build
a lighthouse in a largely unexplored wilderness and ends in 1890 when Jupiter and its light-
house became the terminus for a thriving steamboat trade.
Before his second life as an author Snyder was the founding chairman and CEO of Enterprise
Communications Inc. (ECI), Washington-based publishers of national business magazines and
sponsors of related conferences. ECI was acquired by The Thomson-Reuters Corp in 1997.
Snyder was raised in Evanston, IL and graduated from Northwestern University in 1958 with
a bachelor's degree from its Medill School of Journalism. He later received a master's degree in
political science from The George Washington University, Washington, DC.
In 1964, after 2 years as a White House communications officer specializing in national secu-
rity affairs, he formed an independent Washington news bureau to serve publishers of business
& medical magazines. The firm, known then as Snyder Associates Inc., soon became the largest
independent editorial organization in Washington, representing more than 40 periodicals. They
included such leaders in their respective fields as Variety, Sales & Marketing Management, Mod-
ern Medicine and Progressive Grocer. During this period Snyder also wrote for such publications
as Smithsonian, Pa-
rade and Harvard
Business Review.
In 1985 the company
was renamed Enter-
prise Communications
and began publishing
its own business maga-
zines. In rapid succes-
sion, ECI launched
Financial Product
News, Employee Benefit
News, Veterinary Prod-
uct News, Environment
Today and Corporate
University Review.
Today Snyder lives
on Loxahatchee River
in Tequesta and is
active in organizations
to protect its unique
character. He was
board chairman of the
Jupiter Inlet Light-
house and Museum.
He serves on the
boards of Friends of
Jonathan Dickinson
State Park, was a gov-
ernor's appointment to
the Florida Historical
Commission and is an
elected commissioner
of the Loxahatchee
River Environmental
Control District.

From the Commander:
Joyce Newman, S It is hard to believe that
my year as Squadron Com-
mander is coming to an
end. It has been a reward-
ing and memorable experi-
ence. The many successes
we had during my com-
mand were directly attrib-
utable to the involvement
of our members and the
extraordinary leadership of our Bridge officers, depart-
ment heads and committees.
Our cooperative charting and vessel safety check ef-
forts have produced numerous District 8 awards and na-
tional recognition. Our three Vessel Safety Check exam-
iners provided forty-four VSC’s. Our Cooperative Chart-
ing efforts from Hobe Sound to Boca Raton Inlet provided
important information to NOAA’s chart maintenance pro-
grams. I am proud that our Squadron has appeared on
NOAA’s Honor Roll for twenty-four years.
Our Squadron membership now stands at 276, a testa-
ment in large part to the success of our ABC course offer-
ings, the hard work of our sixty-four merit mark mem-
bers and the involvement of those of you who have stayed
actively engaged in our Squadron’s civic, educational and
social activities.
We have had a particularly productive year with out-
standing educational offerings. The America’s Boating
Course not only promoted safe boating, but also served as
a port of entry for new members who continued their
boating education with advanced and elective courses—a
win-win proposition for both students and our Squadron.
This last year, we offered all USPS advanced courses ex-
cept for Navigation and every USPS elective course. We
have continued our efforts to add on-water components to
our course offerings. We have five qualified members as
trainers for Boat Operator Certification (BOC) and On-
Water-Training (OWT) programs. Fourteen seminars
were offered and nine were taught. We introduced a
modified Partner’s in Command Seminar with an on-
water component. We are expanding our course syllabi to
include kayak and canoe components.
We have actively engaged in community outreach ef-
forts. For example, Assistant Educational Officer, 1st/ Lt
John Litwinka, AP, successfully taught Engine Mainte-
nance to fourteen members of the Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice. Our Educational Officer Lt/C (P/C) Rose Moskowitz,
JN, participated in Trawler Fest in Fort Lauderdale dur-
ing a two day Women’s Seminar on Boating and reported
her recommendations to National. At a Kids Fest in Octo-
ber, P/D/C Gary Ferguson, JN, Liz Loeffler, P, and
D/Lt Allan Furtado, SN, taught more than 200 kids how
to use life jackets. Squadron member David Cross, AP,
provided the small boat and West Marine donated the life
jackets for the event. The event was written up in the
current ENSIGN magazine.
We partnered with North Palm Beach Yacht Club to
present a North Palm Beach Heritage theatre/dinner
show. We also partnered with Duffy’s Restaurant on
Clematis Street and manned a booth near the entrance
to the Palm Beach Boat show, where we handed out
flyers and free ABC coupons. As a result of our efforts,
42 people signed up for the
course.
Our Squadron was pre-
sented with Proclamations
from the Palm Beach County
Board of County Commission-
ers and the Mayor of the Vil-
lage of North Palm Beach de-
claring 19 - 25 May 2013 Safe
Boating Week. During Safe
Boating Week our Squadron
booth will be at the West Ma-
rine Store to hand out flyers
and free ABC course coupons.
P/R/C Robert Malone, SN, Edward Voit, Jr., AP, and
Ben Swanka, AP, received 50 year membership awards.
Nat’l Chaplain Rodney Landsman, AP, and Stephen
Leek, P, received 25 year membership awards. P/C Ken
MacPherson, AP, who passed away 27 January 2013
would have received the 25 merit mark Lifetime Mem-
bership Award. Stephen Baker, N, received the Certifi-
cate of Educational Proficiency for successfully complet-
ing the grade of Advance Piloting or higher and three
elective courses. The Squadron received the
P/C/C William D. Selden IV Member Involvement
Retention Award and the Doing it Right Award.
The Afterdeck News and our Squadron Website
received the Distinctive Communicator Awards.
Eleven of our members serve in District and six others
serve in National positions. D/Lt/C (P/C) Mary Dodd, SN,
moved from District Administrative Officer to District
Executive Officer.
Our on-land and on-water social activities have been
many. In accordance with our bylaws, we held bridge
meetings twelve times in the last year and General
Membership Dinner meetings each month except
July and August.
Thanks to the considerable efforts of Charles
Giambalvo, P, we are digitally upgrading our
headquarters so that we can offer remote classroom
and meeting services.
Yes, we are a vibrant, active squadron with much to be proud of!

The 9 acre facility has 1.5 miles of wet slips which can
accommodate yachts up to 300´ although draft restric-
tions usually limit the maximum size to about 260´. Over
the last 18 months 377 separate projects were completed
with nearly 40% over 160´.
The Yachts arrive for their refit via the Lake Worth
Inlet. Their average stay will be 53 days. Almost no job
from painting to engine repairs is beyond the capabilities
of the 260 skilled Rybovich employees and 300 or so sub-
contractors (co-makers). If the work needs to be done out
of water a 600 ton travel lift and a 3000 ton dry dock

members are equipped with state-of-the-art industrial
equipment. 300+´ masts can be unstepped, repaired and
re-stepped. Whole vessels can be shrink wrapped to pre- (Continued on Page 5.)

A Neighbor of Interest: RYBOVICH BOAT WORKS
by David Cross, AP
Below is an aerial view of the Rybovich and Sons marina
and repair yard which Bill Eldridge and your reporter
toured in early March. IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE
SLIGHTEST HINT OF THE AMAZING VIEW FROM
SEA LEVEL.
“Gob smacked” is a peculiar British expression for being
unexpectedly introduced to a particularly amazing situa-
tion. Opening the rear door of the Rybovich office build-
ing on North Flagler Drive presented us with a “gob
smacking” event. Row upon row of super-yachts in all
shapes and sizes lined up almost as far as the eye could
see. Our guide Carlos Vidueira, Executive V.P. Opera-
tions describe them as “floating, moving luxury man-
sions”. We see them, individually, plying the inlet and
intracoastal, but ‘up close and personal’ with 53 exam-
ples is quite a different experience. Awe inspiring comes
to mind.

vent undesirable fumes from escaping to the atmosphere.
Employees, co-makers and crew members enjoy a
gourmet restaurant and a 3,000 sq ft fitness center. The
crew campus has a swimming pool and lounge plus a
free shuttle service to area shops and restaurants.
The facility contributes about $133 million/year to
the South Florida economy.
Mega-yacht size does not stop at 260´ so plans are
afoot to expand availability to 400´. This will be accom-
plished at a separate 10 acre Rybovich facility in Riviera
Beach. The permitting process is already on-going and
may last for 2-3 years. Respect for the environment is
paramount.
We came away with new insight into the world of
mega-yachts. A world far removed from our humble (but
happy!) existence with lesser craft. The realization that
there are many individuals that can personally own such
behemoths was somehow brought closer to home after
our visit and a certain level of amazement still lingers.
We felt pride in having the internationally acclaimed
Rybovich marina on our doorstep and look forward to
seeing mighty 400 footers powering up the inlet on their
way to re-birth.

We offer state of the art boating and marine courses that are taught by first rate instructors and provide important informational services to the area’s boat community. Unfortunately our dues and educational sales do not cover all current expenses, let alone innovative programs. Generous contributions by our Squadron Boosters allows us to continue meeting our commitment to boating excellence and safety. Dues for most members are not tax deductible. Contributions (as in “Squadron Booster”) are tax deductible. The IRS has declared that the Squadron is a “qualified organization” under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Of course, follow your tax adviser’s advice. We respect your privacy as much as your generosity. If you do not wish to have your name published in our list of contribu-tors you can make an anonymous gift. You may make a gift on behalf of a friend or colleague e.g., Ken MacPherson, or for a project, e.g., equipment or an event. However you do it—please, Become a SQUADRON BOOSTER !

Eleanor Lechtenberg and Max Cohen landed 10 bonitos up to 9 lb
trolling during the morn-ing of Tuesday, 16 April. It was her first deep sea
fishing experience. Bonitos are great “sport”
to catch though not great for the table.
Snowbirds (and other address changes) . . . Don’t Let This Happen to You! Please don’t forget to notify database Chair Bill Eldridge (561-863-1461)([email protected]) as to the date you will be going North, your latest Northern address, and your expected return date. Since we have no way to automate these changes, we depend on you to help us keep you informed. The post office charges the squad-ron $0.50 to tell the squadron you are not at the current address (and throws away your nice, colorful Afterdeck and requires us to remove you from the mailing list until a valid address is provided). During the interim, here’s hoping that you have a great summer. Drop us a note (and maybe some pictures) so your Florida Squadron friends can stay up to date with all your doings!
