The annual inspection was performed by District 1 inspector Elmer Johnson prior to the November 11th meeting. The Post past the inspection as it has in the past years due to the meticulous accounting and attention to details by our (former—more later) Quartermaster Elizabeth Mather. However, the inspection wasn’t without some stress. While Elizabeth delivered the records to me to bring to the meeting, she fell and slashed her shin open, the cut requiring 36 stiches. She’s on the mend and hopefully will have no lasting effects from the injury.
