Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Dear Oscar Edwards, I didn't personally know Col Nett, but I have heard a lot about him, and his accomplishments. His Congressional Medal of Honor Certificate pretty much speaks on his behalf regarding what type of man he was. Our condolences to his friends, fellow comrades, and family. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Steve Hawk Message: Rangers Bob has done a great job with this website and it is the envy of many of the associations out there. His vote tally insert will be a great asset. However, there are times when we can not use it. When a decision has to be made before we meet each month. We will continue to have situations arise where a quick vote is needed. We will continue to have officers make these decisions and post them on the web. Also the Scholarships decisions will still be decided by a committee of appointed Rangers. In the past these Rangers have done an excellent job. But having a vote tally on major events is a great idea. I suggest that at the monthly meetings that the local votes be talled before announcing the web votes and then they are added in for final count. If you have a better way please post them. Steve |
