OCEAN SPRINGS, MS (WLOX) - Thanks to a $70,000 donation from Jimmy Buffett and his sisters, Lucy and Laurie, school children on the coast will have a new way to learn about the bays and bayous of South Mississippi.

The Buffetts were at USM's Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs Monday morning to help present a new research vessel made possible by that donation. Landshark Lager, of course, took the place of champagne for the christening ceremony.

USM graduate Jimmy Buffett talked about his reasons for the generous donation.

"The Gulf of Mexico is so important to everybody's lives, whether they realize it or not," Buffett said. "So it's a simple way to start with young kids, and from that on up to people that want to understand how important the Gulf of Mexico is and how it should be treated and managed."

He hopes this kind of educational program will grow.

I saw this on the Quora site today. I thought it was sentiments worthy of sharing on this site.

"Yesterday during my Daddy’s funeral procession, led by the United States Marine Corps, my family noticed the man in this photo pulled over on the side of the road.

His hat was in his hand and his hand was over his heart, honoring my father and our family as we passed by.
His respectful act touched my family and the entire procession so deeply. We passed many other cars along the way that simply went about their day.

Since his license plate showed in the photo, my daughter did some digging and we found him!!!
His name is Ernest Boerlin and he is also a veteran - US Navy.

When I messaged him privately to thank him for honoring my father, he said:
“It was an honor to show my respect for a fellow serviceman and their family. Please accept my prayers and condolences to you and your family for your loss. Fair winds and following seas. God bless.”

Thank you, Ernest. Your act of kindness and respect touched our family and friends very deeply and we are grateful. May God bless you and yours as well.
