After the fourth Area 1 Meeting |
What does the Area Commander do after the fourth Area Meeting ?
Well, in the Case of the Vice Commander Representing Area 1 last quarter, Court Bradbury, the tasks included being installed at his home Post 84 Auburn, as well as installing the officers at Posts in Area 1 who were elected for the 2006-2007 year. |
|
Court being sworn in with all the 'Officer-elect' members by District 31 by the District 31 Installing Team.
|
|
Court being read his charge of duties of Auburn Post 84 by Installing Officer Tony Bellacera, while under the care of District 31 Installing Team Sgt-At-Arms, Ken Vogele.
|
|
Court installs the new Commander for Roseville Post 169, John Smith.
|
|
Court, as the Installing Officer for Post 169, turns the gavel over to the new Commander of Post 169, and control of the meeting.
|
|
Then there is the Department Convention
This year, the convention was held in Fresno.
There is an old expression, "The King is dead. Long live the King."
I can relate this expression to the American Legion Department Convention. |
|
Outgoing Department Commander Wayne Parrish congratulates and welcomes new Commander Charlie M. Eskridge to the lectern. As Out-Going Commander Wayne Parrish removes his white hat, and dons the traditional blue cap of the American Legion, so to do all of the out-going officers, including the Past Area 1 Vice Commander, Court Bradbury.
|
|
As was noted above, "The King is dead. Long live the King." The similarity is that Area 1 was not without a leader, for even a heartbeat, for as Court Bradbury removed his white cap and donned his blue/white cap, the new Vice Commander Representing Area 1 removed his blue/white cap and donned the white cap, of an Area Vice Commander.

Welcome Robert A. Canclini, and thank you Court Bradbury, for a superb job this past year, it was a true pleasure working for you. |
