Wow, what a ride being Post Commander these last three years. I don’t really need to repeat what we have accomplished during that span as I think everyone has a pretty good idea of those achievements. Last month I tried to acknowledge a bunch of folks who got us to where we are, but I still managed to overlook a few so I better not try another list this month. However, let me say that a Post, like a military unit or athletic team, is better by the whole then by the sum of the individuals. As a result of the efforts of the entire Post, we have achieved quite a few goals, but there were a number of others that we simply didn’t have time to accomplish. I suspect that under Commander Fred Apgar we will be taking care of some old unfinished business, and finding new hills to climb. I’ll be moving up to District Commander which will keep me busy. I will miss the tremendous support I received from all of our Post members over these past three years. Not once did I look back to find no one following me regardless of the task. I will remain editor of the newsletter just as I have these past 8 years and Julie will have the coffee ready for our monthly staff meetings at my office. In the meantime I hope all of you members who haven’t attended a meeting recently will find time to make the June 8th meeting and show your support to the new officers being installed. The past three years have flown by and been thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding, but now I’m ready to sit back and watch Commander Apgar run the show.
