摘要：	The River School, one of the oldest and most respected names in maritime education, will mark a milestone this month as it celebrates 50 years of training inland mariners. This anniversary will be celebrated at a January 29 dinner-along with its transition to a new owner. Keith Alexander has been a longtime instructor at the school and, like Bill Kline, the former owner, is a retired career Coast Guard veteran. In his 21-year Coast Guard career, Alexander wore many hats, spending much of his time in law enforcement roles. He served a search-and-rescue tour of duty in the North Atlantic and also served as executive petty officer on the river buoy tender Wedge, which maintained buoys and aids to navigation all along the 954-mile length of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway system, all the way down to Mobile Bay. "We covered the Tenn-Tom and Black Warrior River," he said.In 2008, Alexander retired from the Coast Guard. After a brief stint teaching boat safety to law enforcement and firefighting personnel at the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASB-LA), he joined The River School.
