Charleston County's Nikki Bowie, Horry County's Duke Brown, and Hilton Head Island's Ralph Wagner  have all become USLA Life Members over the last 2 years.  Nikki was received the honor at the 2022 Spring meeting in Chicago, Duke at the 2022 Fall Meeting in  Orlando, and Ralph at the 2023 Fall Meeting in Asheville.   They are the 53rd, 54th and 55th Life Member in the USLA's 59 year history.  Over the years, USLA has conferred Life Memberships on a very limited number of persons who have made extraordinary contributions to lifesaving and to USLA.
