In the primeval wilds of the northland, two noble moose, leaders of the herds, met in deadly combat. Today their locked antlers, a silent reminder of the futility of antagonism and conflict, lie bleaching on the plains. We meet tonight as Brothers united in a common cause. Let the spirit of harmony and fraternal regard guide our deliberations. Otherwise we will be blinded to the lesson of the “Locked Horns? Recited at every LOOM General Meeting it is the responsibility of the Governor to memorize and tell the “Legend” to all who are present. At least now it is, because this and other portions of the opening ceremony were abandoned by Moose Inter- national some time ago for a “New” less meaningful format. Well the Old has returned and the New “lies bleaching on the plains.” |

I truly think this is the hardest article I've had to write in the last 2 and a half years. It is my last, and I really don't know where to begin!! So, first I would like to give a BIG Thank You, to all of you that put your faith and trust in me and gave me your continued support through thick and thin as your Administrator. I can't begin to tell you how great you have all made me feel, because as you well know I came in to this job about as "green" as you can get. Also, there is absolutely no way I could have succeeded without my side kick Judy Shriver, better known as my second wife, (in her husband's terms) as she donated so much of her time and savvy technical ex- pertise, making my life much easier. She was truly a life saver for me and I can't thank her enough. MUAHH JUDY!!! |

Time does fly when you are having fun, seems like just yesterday I was writing my first article as Senior Regent, now here I am writing my final arti- cle as the Moose year and my term comes to an end. We have done so much and made such great strides in making our Chapter and Lodge a fun and enjoyable place to spend time and celebrate our lives. With the mid-year convention in Reno and several events planned for these months ahead, I hope you continue to love your Moose and help make it a better Lodge and Home away from Home. |
