Edict #21:
July 3rd, 2022
So last term, a long time serving member of our STF Community passed away to what is truly our Final Frontier. Steve Sigle’s time in the club and commitments here were and are huge. To list a few of his major positions held in his time with us here are some:
Personnel Director
Assistant Personnel Director
Several terms as Fleet Commander of the Meridian fleet
Fleet commander Infinite fleet
Assistant Fleet Commander for various fleets
Term on EGO.
Awards Coordinator for several years
Editor for the STF newsletter
Captain of the USS Odin from 2011-2021
XO of the Manhattan for many years
For the possible STF record of one of the longest continual play of a single character which is Commander Jacen Drayke Chief Engineer of the USS Atlantis April 14, 2005 to July 15, 2021 (16 years, 3 months, and 1 day.)
There is I am sure much much more not listed above, which Steve contributed too in lesser or greater ways in STF. Last term one of his closest friends Kate O’Neil suggested after a bit of time here https://www.star-fleet.com/core/command/command/posts/150808/ - That Steve be promoted to Rear Admiral for his work in STF. The president at the time had intended to do something, but due to their own life commitments it got lost in the end of term shuffle. In turn I too dropped the ball at the start of my term in January of this year following through with this edict for Steve’s memory to the club.
So being so reminded by several members of this failure on my part especially. I hereby promote Steve Sigle to the club rank of Rear Admiral. I am very sorry to his friends and loved ones in and out of the club that this got forgotten of, and hope you do not feel we forgot about Steve’s memory and aide to STF.
