Edict #95
“Hey, I’m all about a noble death. A pointless noble death on the other hand…”
And rolling into the second promotion, we come to a member who has truly made his presence felt in the last term. I’d been aware of him for a number of years, but we’d never really come into contact prior to the first term STF Awards. When we sadly lost John Lucas to that beastly real life earlier in the second term, there was one candidates name on everyones lips. Since taking the office in June, he has maintained the incredibly high standards John set and the fleet continues to be our most active and populated. He has been a member of the club for nearly a decade, making him one of our oldest members and during the past three years commanding the Polaris (actually two years and 363 days :P), he has made the ship one of the most consistently strong in the club. He always has a smile, a good word and a ready ear when anyone needs advice and he is one of those rare individuals who, when he isn’t sure of something, isn’t afraid to ask. This makes him not only an outstanding Fleet Commander and CO, but also a good leader.
It is with great pleasure that I hereby bestow upon Chris “Dragon” Grinder the long overdue promotion to the rank of Fleet Captain, with all the rights and priviliges therein.
Congratulations Chris, you’ve earned it!
