| Mario Caprile with Harry Nye Trophy |
Mario Caprile, 2nd Continental Vice President for Europe of the International Star Class, died November 28. He was a member of the Laredo fleet in Madrid, Spain.
In the Star Class LOG of 2005, class Past-President Riccardo Simoneschi wrote this appreciation about Caprile when he was awarded the Star Class's highesst honor, the Harry Nye Trophy:
Mario Caprile is a man of will. His support of the Star Class has been fundamental through the years. Despite his busy life, full of business success, he dedicated much time and provided his extensive experience to the development and the protection of the Class. His support to me, while I was the Class President, was always unconditional. His presence was a great support during the critical moments we went though trying to bring back the class into the O.G. His strong willingness scrolled the "diplomacy" of our committees pushing toward the "action", most often at the very right moment.
During our meetings he became famous as " PUNTO" (full stop) a word he used often to underline his position. He was always clear on where he stood.
His personal relationships have always been at a high level, his friendliness and dedication to the Star class have been outstanding. No obstacles were ever too large for him. We all owe him a big thank you.
