Petty Office First Class Michael Whittaker retired in 2006 following 24 years of service in the US Navy after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while serving in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Originally from New York City, Michael was stationed throughout Asia, Australia and Norway during his career and was also deployed to Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. Michael moved to Lake Alfred about 3 years ago to be near family scattered around Florida. He receives MOW meals 2 days per week and can be found most mornings riding his recumbent bike 2 miles around his community. Michael is pictured above with MOW delivery volunteer, Dennis Santino. 28 LA DEMOCRATIC CLUB By Howard Mayne The Lake Ashton Democratic Club will not hold its monthly meeting in July.
