QM Mather Resigns—Health Issues

In what can only be called “bad news” on all fronts, Elizabeth tendered her resignation due to health issues.  Elizabeth will be sorely missed but she has promised to assist Tom Hallums, our new QM, in his duties.  Elizabeth has been fighting lingering health issues for several years and gave the staff officers’ a heads up last year to begin looking for a new Quartermaster.  However, the staff (that would the Commander in particular) more or less put it on the back burner as everyone understood Elizabeth was excellent in her duties.    The number of “White Hats” she has received is testament to that fact and the last Post inspection simply reaffirms that assessment.  At the last meeting, her resignation was accepted and Tom was nominated and elected.  As Tom was the Officer of the Day, his replacement will be Jim Collins who has served in that roll in the past.
