The newsletter for the Mid-Winter DEC was put in the mail yesterday. District and Division Commanders, please make sure all Squadron Commanders received their copy. If not, their addresses on file is incorrect and needs to be updated. For the 12th District, please advise as to whom the newsletter needs to be mailed due to the death of Larry Bohanon, 12th District Commander. Please note, there is a poem at the end of the newsletter, submitted by Past Detachment Commander Larry Black in honor Larry Bohanon. Ken Peters Jr., 6th District Commander and 2nd Division Commander, please call me or email me as soon as possible. I hope everyone has a safe and joyous holiday season. Till January,
Kevin Winkelmann
