We Passed!

Yes, it is official – we received the written report from our DDGM, RWB Willard Fissell.  Despite the positive things mentioned following our FC Inspection, we prefer to receive the written notice before celebrating.  We’d like to express our appreciation to all those who assisted, including those who filled a chair here or there at the last minute.  John Heywood was correct, “Many hands make light work”.

With our Inspection in the rear view mirror, we turn our attention to our current crop of candidates.  We will be initiating one on February 3, and anticipate passing another on February 17.  That will prep us for raising 2 candidates, bringing the third along as quickly as possible thereafter.  To say this will be a busy winter and spring would be an understatement.  As we get closer to the MM dates additional information will be shared.

Our calendar has cleared up considerably since our last post, but there are still plenty of things to attract your attention.
