October Social Dinner: Black Rock Bar & Grill

-

On Friday, October 17th, several PBPS members gathered for our monthly Dinner Social at a new local favorite: Black Rock Bar & Grill on Federal Highway and 62nd Street in Pompano. The restaurant’s warm, cozy atmosphere, soft lighting, and stylish décor set the perfect tone for an evening of great food and even better company.

Our table was filled with tempting dishes, from creamy spinach dip to sizzling hot-stone steaks, shrimp, and tuna. I went for the Chicken Parmesan with Fettuccine Alfredo, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Our waitress was wonderful, offering great recommendations and keeping the good vibes flowing all night.

We spent hours chatting, laughing, and enjoying every minute. It was a relaxed and memorable evening, the kind that reminds us why these socials are such a highlight each month!

Join us next time! PBPS hosts Dinner Socials every 3rd Friday of the month — watch your email for details, and don’t forget to bring a guest or two. The more, the merrier!

A Look Back: The 1940s and the Evolution of Life Jackets

The 1940s marked a turning point in life jacket technology with the widespread adoption of kapok-filled vests. Kapok—a natural, buoyant fiber derived from the tropical kapok tree—offered a lighter and more comfortable alternative to the bulky cork and canvas life preservers previously in use. This innovation greatly improved wearability and increased the chances that mariners, soldiers, and recreational boaters would actually wear their flotation devices. However, the material came with a significant drawback: flammability. This danger was tragically underscored by the 1942 fire aboard the SS Normandie , a former French ocean liner being converted for wartime use in New York Harbor. The blaze, which was exacerbated by flammable kapok-stuffed life jackets and insulation, led to the ship capsizing at the pier—a stark reminder that technological advances often come with unintended risks. Over time, synthetic materials and new standards replaced kapok in most flotation devices. Foam-fi...

HONOR FLIGHT SOUTH FLORIDA

HONOR FLIGHT SOUTH FLORIDA P/R/C Pete TenBrink, SN-ON   As many of you may know, I had the privilege of participating in an Honor Flight last June.  The entire day was wonderful.  Honor Flight South Florida flew us up to DC where we visited multiple Memorials (the Viet Nam Wall, the Korean War Memorial, the WWII Memorial, the Women's Military Memorial, etc.  However, our arrival back to FLL was the part of the day that left the deepest impression on me.  When our troops came home during the '60s and '70s, many were not warmly welcomed due to the unpopular Viet Nam War.  In fact, they were often vilified!  However, when we came back from the Honor Flight, we had a huge contingent of folks to greet us. On May 20th, Honor Flight South Florida will be conducting Mission XXXIV!  It would be wonderful if we could have a bunch of Pompano Beach Power Squadron members there to help greet the veterans.  The flight usually arrives ...
