slate of officers as recommended by the Board of Governors. Dwight Tetrick, President; Bob Yarnell, vice president; Kevin
Yarnell, secretary & treasurer; Elwin Thrasher, genealogist and newsletter
editor; Jim Washburn, chaplain.
Marty Miller moved that this
slate of officers be accepted without revision. Jim Washburn seconded the
motion, which was pasted by acclamation.
The meeting recessed for
lunch.
President Tetrick reconvened the membership and introduced the
speaker, David Taylor. Mr. Taylor spoke on "Religion in the
Revolution". Beginning with some background into his interest in this
topic, Mr. Taylor illustrated his general remarks with specific stories about
Rev. James Caldwell a chaplain in the Continental Army, and George Washington.
These stories illustrated clearly the role faith and religion played in the
revolutionary cause. The talk was well received by the membership.
The 50/50 drawing was won by
Jim Chambers and donated his half to the chapter. Fourteen dollars was thus
added to the treasury.
President Tetrick led the recessional and Jim Washburn gave the
benediction. The meeting adjourned at
