At the August 30, 1997 General Membership meeting, Robert Babik, "Bob," was elected commodore for the 1998 boating season. He and Lady Judy had a 30 foor Sea Ray on D-5. They were enthusiastic supporters of APYC, and they planned many activities for the club. An All Ports Yacht Club newsletter link chronicals these ideas. Many of these ideas were implemented by Commodore Bob and Lady Judy, resulting in excellent attendance by the memberts throughout the season. It was a very enjoyable year.
