Admiral Allen was also at the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven Last Sat. where the Mac was also present.

Was able to say hello to Commander Little as he walked by but never got a chance to talk with him (you're lucky Dave). That is the 1st time I have EVER seen a Mackinaw captain (or any captain actually) mixing in and exchanging greetings with the 100,000+ crowd awaiting the evening fireworks. Then he was off to the grandstand.
