From the agony of defeat to the thrill of victory, Bill Baldwin's story of establishing an ACBS chapter in Raleigh, NC informed, amused and delighted the attendees of the 2006 WBA Installation Banquet at the Canyon Creek Country Club on Saturday evening, January 21, 2006. As the featured speaker of the evening, Bill reflected on the emotional, strategic and tactical ups and downs of his move from Dallas, his home for more than two decades, to North Carolina, and his subsequent efforts to create the kind of camaraderie and common bonds that the love of wooden boats brings to a guy and his buddies.
The banquet featured a delicious buffet, and recognized outgoing President Mark Webster for two outstanding years of leadership of the WBA. The evening concluded with a special recognition of the WBA spouses and soul mates by incoming President David Kanally.
The banquet marked the official beginning of the terms of office for President David Kanally, Vice-President Bob Van Guilder, Secretary Stan Lehnhardt and Treasurer Phil Wolff.
