A CAUSE IN MOTION We held our Ann ual Awards Dinner on November 5 at the New York Yacht C lub. Dinner chairmen David Fowler and Richard du Moulin hosted the evening with wit, grace, and style while guests mingled, listening to the live vocals of the US Coast Guard Academy Singers. NMHS was honored to recognize Dr. Robert Ballard of the Institute for Exploration for his discovery of the wrecks of the Titanic, USS Yorktown, and other ships, and most recently, his groundbreaking work in the depths of the Black Sea, with our Distinguished Service Award. We were also privileged to present the NMHS Founder's Sheet Anchor Award to Overseer David A. O 'Ne il-chair-
