Director's Forum

As we complete the Thanksgiving weekend and prepare for the holiday season, I would like to wish each and every one of you a blessed holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2007. We have much to be thankful for.

Much has happened during the last year or so. As you know we have been without an editor for the Knight Letter. Thanks go out to Bill and Belinda Glasgow for producing the last one and this one. In the spring of 2006, our webmaster, Terry Dell, suffered a stroke and could not continue in that position. We all wish for a complete recovery for Terry. He did a masterful job with our website. The host of the website has been transferred and the fees have been paid in advance for several years. It is secure.

Also, Frank Strobel resigned his position as Quartermaster for the association. While we hope to see Frank and his wonderful family at the reunions, we will miss Frank “hawking” the QM items for sale. Frank has shipped the entire inventory, including the history books to me. My contact information is listed on the website and elsewhere in this letter. Should you desire any items, please feel free to order them via the toll free phone number. We now have the ability to take Visa and MasterCard for your convenience.

The association will be seeking nominees for the next Executive Council. The committee is ably chaired by Charlie Brown. You are all encouraged to contact Charlie with the names of anyone you think worthy of consideration.

Finally, we are approaching the reunion in Nashville in July of 2007. Jim and Ann Koepke are doing a great job with the preparations. It will be a grand event. Please note that Nashville is a popular destination and you are encouraged to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. SEE YOU IN NASHVILLE!
