Linda Redmond's Mother Has Passed Away
Linda Gail Redmond's mother, Laeuna Smith, passed away Saturday (June 7), after a long battle with cancer. She was 89 years old.
Chris and Linda Redmond are long time Bayview Boat Club members. Chris is a Past Commodore, and has served on the BBC Board in several other positions, as well. The Redmonds were awarded Lifetime Membership, last February, in recognition of their years of generous service to the club and their support of the 'Thunder for the Children' charity, benefitting Shriners Children's Hospitals in Texas.
Since they sold their boat, the Linda Gail II, last year, Linda had increasingly been caring for her mother. It has been physically tiring, but especially, emotionally exhausting, as the cancer spread and her mother's suffering intensified. Chris says his mother-in-law's passing was, in the end, a merciful blessing for her and for Linda Gail.
Chris and close friend, Marianna Hamill, both report that Linda has been doing well, initially. Marianna said it began to hit her harder, though, as she looked through pictures, in preparation for the funeral. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

The funeral will be on Wednesday, June 11, at 11:00am, at the First United Methodist Church in Rockwall. Details in the Laeuna Smith obituary, in the Dallas Morning News. For other information, you may contact Marianna Hamill, at 214/ 675-0169.

We Have Lost a Bayview Friend
- from Deborah Brantley
    Jim “Jimbo” Davis passed away Sunday (May 18), around 5 pm. He suffered from cancer for the last couple of years.
    Jim and June have been at Bayview Marina for about 12 years. For over 4 years, we shared our lives with them, as family and neighbors on E Dock. Some may remember Jim dressing as Santa, for the kids, at Christmas parties. Now they are on M Dock, and I'm sure they have many friends there, though they haven’t been able enjoy their boat for about a year, due to Jim’s illness.
    Jim will be cremated, and the service will be a brief memorial, Thursday, at 2:00 p.m., in Lewisville.
    Please let me know if you need other information. God Bless.
    Love, Deb

"Garage" Sale Fundraiser - Sat., June 7

Closets cluttered? Car won't fit in your garage? This is a new event, where club members may contribute their, um, "...another man's treasure", to a sale, open to boaters and the general public. Proceeds from the sale will augment the BBC event fund, helping pay for even more fun and benefits to the BBC members and guests. Unsold items will be contributed to charity.

Further details are coming, but we wanted to give everyone a "heads up".

New 'News and Announcements' Page
And the first news is... this page. During the 2007 Season, the Commodore's Log wound up being used as an all-purpose page to post news and announcements, as well as instructions or comments, from the Commodore. This was simply out of convenience - the Commodore was also the one keeping the website updated.
This year, we have added a separate News page for news and member announcements. The Commodore's Log can now be used as originally intended - as a "blog", for the Commodore to share thoughts and ideas, and communicate or comment to the Club, our friends, supporters and the world in general, or otherwise use as he chooses.
