Commander's Corner
November 5,1998

I hope this finds everyone sitting back and taking a deep breath after a long and successful season. This has been a good year for us. We have recruited very solid additions to the regiment. Just a couple of things that I want to mention to everybody. Don't forget we are having a meeting with Marilyn Hess at our house for the ladies on Sunday, November 29th @ 1:00 p.m. for inspection. Be sure to bring your clothes for Marilyn to see and any documentation you may wish to show Marilyn.

Also, I hope everyone is watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. the NWTA Field Music will be marching in it. Keep a sharp eye out for the three best musicians in that group. Hannah, Sheila, and Emily will be representing our Regiment in New York City. Congratulations to you all!

After a ten year absence I had to go to the Feast of the Hunters Moon in Lafayette, Indiana. I swore I would never go again. However, I must confess that I had a great time. There were tons of suttlers and the public was great, eight fife and drum corp bands, a dance on Saturday night, food vendors, and most importantly dry weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must recommend that our unit attend this in mass next year.

In closing I just wanted to thank those of you who sent such comforting cards and notes to me on the death of my Grandmother. It was a great support to me at a difficult time in my life and I appreciate it very much, Thank you!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

Gary
