President's Message Fall 2025

What an honor it has been to serve as President of the Lake Hopatcong Chapter, ACBS for the past two years. It was during my term as President that we celebrated our 50^th year anniversary as the Lake Hopatcong Antique Boat Club, our 50^th year of boat shows and the 50^th year anniversary of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. We combined them all into a fabulous 50^th Year Anniversary Celebration. It was on the shores of Lake Hopatcong, the Byram Cove home of H. Drayton Mook, where our club was born. It was only fitting, that our 50-year celebration be held at Lee’s Park, on the shores of Lake Hopatcong.

What a year it has been! It began with our April 27^th Spring Launch at the Beacon Restaurant. Thanks to Stanley Struble and VP Mickey Schillizzi, we had our first workshop in several years. On May 7^th we met at the Roxbury Co #2 Firehouse for Jim Barrick’s Outboard Motor presentation. We displayed Harry Gedicke’s 1958, 17 ft, Chris-Craft Runabout, “Summer Breeze,” at the May 17^th Lake Hopatcong Block Party. June 5^th was a cruise night, to kick off our June 7^th 50^th Boat Show. Additional cruises were held on July 16^th and August 7^th. Our “Shrimp and Turf” dinner was August 13^th. Our final cruise was August 28^th. We then celebrated our 50^th Anniversaries at Lee’s Park Pavilion.

As a famous Yankee once said: “It ain’t over until its over.” We still have our Annual Meeting and Dinner. Hope to see all of you there!

Best regards,

Ray Reynolds
