Cadet leader
dedicated to
local youth

THEY COME in as landlubbering kids, clued out about
keels and the finer points of knot-tying. They leave as Navy
League Cadets, wise in the ways of the sea and country. A

disciplined spit-polished lot.

Since becoming one of the first
Navy League Cadets on the North
Shore 30 years ago, Lt.-Cmdr.
Chuck Fisher, 42, hus seen
countless kids work their way
through the Navy League system.

After a taste of teaching com-
munications to other cadets as a
leading Sea Cadet, Fisher attained
the rank of petty officer first class
and a ticket to Sea Cadet
Reserve Training Pia.

In 1965, Fisher became a civilian
instructor with Royal Canadian
Sea Cadet Corps Lonsdale and the
Navy League Cadet Corps Honor-
able Clarence Wallace 446.

March 1967, Fisher received his
warrant for sub-lieutenant and
became an officer with the group.
He was a licutenant by November,
1967.

By mid-1970, after various of-
ficer positions, Fisher took on the
position of commanding officer.

Fisher retired his position Sept.

an area officer with the B.C.

As an area officer Fisher is one
of four B.C. area officers respon-

and assisting in coordinating activ-
ities including corps sports days,

training weekends.
