<p class=MsoNormal>Ladies and Gentlemen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It gives me a great deal of pleasure to formalize what many
would consider the obvious. Within our North Texas PGR leadership team we
have some individuals who have been obvious and natural leaders in their areas
and people to whom the riders have gone to for leadership and guidance for
quite a while. These individuals have been going the extra mile for a
long time in being the primary contacts to the public and the military for
setting up missions, doing much of the legwork behind the scenes, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When Bill Holcomb held the position of Deputy State Captain
in North Texas he developed the position of Senior Ride Captain in order to
reward those Ride Captains who had been going the extra mile, in his opinion,
to further the mission of the PGR and giving their all, no matter what needed
doing, to get the job done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In an attempt to fill the leadership shoes left by Bill, no
easy task I assure you, I am very happy to officially designate the following
Ride Captains as Senior Ride Captains in the North Texas PGR:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mike Johnson in Wichita Falls<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Dewey Dyer in Midlothian<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Gene Faulk in Gainesville<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sparky Cox in Sherman<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ted Beauchamp in Breckenridge<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I know you all will join me in congratulating these
individuals. They don’t get a different color hat or a pay raise,
just heartfelt thanks for their continued great work both in front of and
behind the scenes for all of us. (They still have to buy their hats just
like the rest of us!!)<o:p></o:p></p>
