"For well over a decade Auxiliarist WENZELBURGER has consistently given of his time and talent to support the Coast Guard by offering his services on a weekly basis to the DIRAUX staff. His remarkable attitude and reliability made his support efforts to the office invaluable in helping the staff stay ahead of the mountainous administrative task of keeping personnel folder data up to date, folders organized, flotilla and division data populated by doing the tedious work of mastering Auxiliary database management using the AUXDATA system. The scope of his duties included the timely processing of unit reports, new enrollments, retirements, member deaths, transfers, and disenrollments. Nearly every Tuesday morning he faithfully demonstrated his commitment to duty by adeptly handling the important tasks of tracking, organizing, and managing the database, which impacted the nearly 1400 Auxiliary members of the Western Rivers Region. His willingness to tackle tedious administrative projects greatly assisted the Director’s staff and bolstered office productivity. His devotion to supporting the Coast Guard was clearly demonstrated when during a time where he was unable to come into the office; despite not feeling well, he continued to process data and reports into AUXDATA. Additionally, Auxiliarist WENZELBURGER proved himself an integral player in the establishment and creation of personnel reports, which directly supported the District Commodore’s staff. His visible presence each week within the Director’s Office played an instrumental role in helping the DIRAUX staff serve the members of the Eighth Western Rivers Region in a more efficient fashion."
