Everyone front and center for the first Muster of 2011!
Some old business...
The last year was one of some equally great gains and losses. Early in the year we lost our beloved Army Commander, Roger, to retirement. Eight others also drifted out of our ranks throughout the year:
Ingram, Art - January - Retired Hulinsky, Roger - April - Retired Betlej, Krystian - April - Discharged Boboshoko, Nicholai - May - Discharged Massina, Roberto - June - Discharged Burns, Mike - October - Hospital Miller, Ken - Indefinate LoA Wight, Tom - Indefinate LoA Anderson, Ray - October - Hospital
Some of the above are still officially MIA and we hope they return to us soon.
We also had some very major additions to our ranks with men I expect to be with us for a long time to come. Joe Medeiros has added another great strategic mind to our Army. The passion and fun of Van Canegem and Davis is welcome in any group and I am thrilled to have them with us. Dudas, Miller, and Snow all returned to our Army and we heartily join with them once again as brothers in arms. Davey and Foster are fine men who I have played numerous times and I expect more victories from them in 2011.
Foster, James - VMI - January Strickler, Blake - VMI - February Medeiros, Joe - VMI - March Dudas, Liviu - Rtnd to Club - June Anderson, Ray - Rtnd to Club - July Davis, Mark - Transferred - August Van Canagem, Karel - VMI - August Snow, Charles - Rtnd to Club - August Davey, Grant - VMI - September Miller, Tim - Rtnd to Club - October
We ended up in the green for the year with one more addition than loss and we are at a strength of 50 entering 2011. Remember to spread the word of our Club to those friends you think may be interested and to always be on the lookout for a future AotM officer.
Army Awards will be handed out over the next few days, gentlemen.
Dismissed!
