Annual Lodge No. 7 Barbecue

J.W. Westcott Company  -  Detroit, MI
April 6, 2019

Detroit Lodge No 7 held its annual barbecue on the grounds of the J.W. Westcott Co. on Saturday, April 6, 2019. Fifty members, spouses and guests attended the event. The event was hosted by Jim Hogan, President and Owner of the J.W. Westcott Co. The main course was prepared by Bill and Mary Lou Griffore, Jay Downen and Marsha Stanley. The menu of barbecue ribs and chicken, red skin potatoes and coleslaw was supplemented by a variety of side dishes and desserts supplied by the lodge attendees. Tables were set up in the Westcott lobby and with the weather in the low 50's with bright sunny skies, the picnic tables on the front lawn were put to good use as well. Following the barbecue lunch, Windsor Harbourmaster Peter Berry gave a powerpoint presentation on progress toward construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Mr. Berry was followed by LCDR Matthew Dooris of USCG Sector Detroit, who gave a presentation on marine casualties handled by his office during the past year, especially the removal and scrapping of the sunken Tug Robin Lynn.
