MOAA Triangle Chapter welcomed Grier Martin III, Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs at its dinner meeting, October 8, 2024.

The meeting was held at the North Carolina State University Club, where attendees enjoyed the delicious fare served by the Club catering staff.

After his introduction by Triangle Chapter President Herb Segal, Secretary Martin's remarks included reflections and observations on his military service in the Middle East, and his civilian service in the NC Legislature, the Pentagon and his current role.

On a hot Sunday afternoon at the end of June, about 20 of us gathered at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park's air-conditioned PNC Triangle Club to watch the home team battle the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. While the boys of summer gave their all on the diamond, we bellied up to the delicious buffet and enjoyed cool libations. Clouds appeared to threaten the fun during the fifth inning, but they passed by overhead with nary a drop. The Bulls scored first, and brought home two more in the fourth, but the Iron Pigs responded with alacrity, capping off their effort with two final runs in the last inning to seal the win for the visitors, 6-3.

This is the second time we have had our summer outing at the DBAP PNC Triangle Club. Though more costly, the comfort of AC on a hot afternoon (along with the food and drink!) sure makes this an attractive option to sitting in the sun along the left field base line as we used to do. We hope more of our members and guests can join us at our next outing.
