Edict #44
When I became president, the club was in pretty good shape. I’d like to think that she still is :). However, through my term,
there have been bumps in the road, some bigger then others :).
When we’ve hit these bumps (most of which probably were not visilbe to the membership at large), our ability to overcome them
is due to some very dedicated members of STF.
Not too long ago, Shalon had to step down as Captain of his ship, FCOMM for fleet 1, as well as a number of other positions,
because of very sad real live happenings. As always our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
This brings me to the prupose of this edict.
When Shalon stepped down, his then AFCOMM1, Mike Seiler, stepped in, without a second thought, and made sure the fleet was
running as Shalon would have wanted it to.
When it became clear that Shalon would not be returning to us very soon, I offered Mike a choice. He could either take the
FCOMM spot, or I would appoint someone.
He didn’t even hesitate. Mike stepped right in, and took care of Fleet 1. Mike is a natrual leader, and the role of Fleet
Commander fit him quite well. He is one of those who helps hold this club together, in the spirit in which it is intended.
With this in mind, I hereby promote Mike Seiler to the rank of Fleet Captain, entitling him to all the rights and privileges
that accompany such a rank.
Congratulations Mike. Well earned.
Pamela
