Hamilton, Ohio  45015

Brothers of the Department of Ohio;

 

I hereby appoint the following brothers to the following posts: 

• Dept. Sr. Vice Commander Bob Davis is appointed to oversee the inquiries to the Dept. Bulletin Board/Forum web page. 
• PDC Jon Silvis is appointed to organize & represent the Dept. at the Ohio Genealogical Society 48th Annual Conference & Exposition held April 2-4, 2009, Sawmill Creek Resort, Huron, Ohio. 

 

All camps are again reminded to send their camp histories to the Dept. Signals Officer Ken Freshley.  

In his General Order #4, September, 2005, PCinC Donald Darby ordered that all camps and departments begin writing their histories and sending them in to their respective departments. 

 

Since we now have a section for camp histories on our department web site, I believe it is even more important to complete this project.  PDC Freshley said they can be sent to him via e-mail, CD or hard copy. 

As PCinC Darby said so aptly in his order, "...we have done much over the years to record and collect the history of the Grand Army of the Republic, as is our purpose. 

 

We have, however, not been as successful in recording the history of the Sons."  ...Many of the "Old Guard" are slipping from our ranks.  Before they are gone we need to record their images and memories of the "good old days." 
Let's work hard to complete this task for them and for future generations of our department and the SUVCW. 

 

 

So ordered this 1st day of December, 2008

 

Yours in Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty,

Attested,

Craig W. Keller	Jim Crane
