New Contact Made - Email Sent

Anne Galvin Bremer met with Elizabeth Psimas who provided information on a couple, John and Peg Nourie, who have great expertise with the Coast Guard. The following email was sent this morning.


Dear John and Peg:

I met with Elizabeth Psimas yesterday who advised me that the two of you are very well informed about "All Things Coast Guard." I wanted to tell you about a new project which we are working on.

I am a member of Portsmouth's Mayor's Military Affairs Committee along with Elizabeth. Recently members have expressed an interest in exploring whether Portsmouth can become a Coast Guard City. As you know, this is an honor which the Coast Guard bestows on very few cities. We are in the process of getting information from current Coast Guard Cities with the goal of submitting a package soon.

I haven't had much luck in reaching the Coast Guard Auxiliary via the web site. We'd like to have you both, as well as the local Auxiliary, on board with us on the Portsmouth Coast Guard City Project. I understand from Elizabeth that your level of knowledge is extraordinary. I know we could benefit from any insights you might share with us.

Warm regards,

Anne Galvin Bremer
