Kudos to Tom Whetstone, president of the Norfolk Chapter, and to George Jones, president of the Delaware Society, for organizing these fantastic events. November and December brought a bevy of balls. While I was unable to attend the DC Society's Potowmack Ball, VPG Scott Shewmaker represented the NSSAR on my behalf. Thank you, Scott. Even so, I was able to attend the reception the night before. Congratulations to DCSSAR President Rob Pollock, Dick Patten and Cindy Hays for this festive affair. Two weeks later, I was the guest of the Maryland Society at its Patriots Ball. I commend MDSSAR President J. Patrick Warner for organizing and executing an elegant event. Finally, the weekend before Christmas, I was treated to some wonderful Southern hospitality at the South Carolina Society's Colonial Ball. Greg Ohanesian and his lovely wife, Barbara, did an outstanding job, and their hard work produced a wonderful ball. Thank you, Greg and Barbara. The VASSAR held a banquet in honor of retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, where he was presented the SAR Gold Good Citizenship Medal. The George Washington Chapter of the VASSAR has been hosting similar banquets for years, and as before, did a wonderful job. Congratulations to Scott Wagoner, Dwight Whitney and Mike Elston. At the commemoration of the Battle of Cowpens, I presented a wreath on behalf of the NSSAR. Once again, Mark Anthony and the SCSSAR did an excellent job! At the annual meeting of the Georgia Society, I installed its new officers. I commend James Stalling, who has been a great president of the GASSAR. James has been succeeded by Roger Coursey, who I know will do a fine job as well. I continue to be amazed and moved by the dedication and hard work of SAR compatriots all over the country. Thank you all. May the Lord bless you; may He bless the SAR; and may He bless the United States of America. Fraternally, Joseph W.
