more than we do because we are kind of catching it on both fronts. Probably everybody understands by now that if the memory of Robert E. Lee gets wiped out of memory then Ulysses S. Grant will soon follow. We have a great, cherished history and I think we have a bright future for both of our organizations and I look forward to participating with you in events in the future. On behalf of the Sons of Confederate Veterans I hope you have a great encampment and Commander Michaels I appreciate the opportunity to be here. Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels Thank you. Now I’ll introduce Brother Dan Murray from the Department of New Hampshire who is chair of the host committee for some welcoming remarks. Dan. Department of New Hampshire Commander Dan Murray Hi, I would like to welcome you all to the state of New Hampshire and I hope you enjoy your stay here. If there is anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable or to correct any problems you have, please let me know. Thank you for coming. Before I go I would like to introduce the members of my committee. I don’t know if there is any in here. Stephen Scarcello, I think he is out at the registration table still. Vic Falcetti, Past Department Commander. Past National President, Jackie Johnson, she is with the Auxiliary. Past National President Eleanor Lowe, she is with the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. And, David Proper who is also a Past Department Commander. Thank you and enjoy your stay. Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels Before we get under way with the business session we would like to just call to mind a couple of announcements. The Department Commander Seminar. Don, would you like to announce what you’d like about the Department Commander Seminar. Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief Donald Darby First we would just like to meet for about a half an hour or forty-five minutes to go over some of the things that will be the emphasis for the year. Also, Brother Pahl would also like to go over how he would like things done. It is not a big change from what’s been done before but just some emphasis on some things that may come up. Thank you. Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels Thank you Sir. Regarding the SVR breakfast tomorrow, Brother Henry Shaw, are you present, would you like to say something. SVR Adjutant General Henry Shaw We stand now at eighty-nine paid souls. The price goes to fifteen dollars a head tomorrow so if you are members wishing to attend, see me and I will gladly collect your ten dollars. I think that’s the largest that we have experienced so far. Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels And the time and place Sir. Colonel Henry Shaw, Adjutant General SVR Tomorrow morning, the Hunt Club Room at Seven a.m. Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels Thank you Sir. Brother Charlie. Charlie Kuhn Department of Pennsylvania Brother Richard Schlenker had a Masonic luncheon at these events and it’s something that we have talked about for several years now. We are going to do it this year, so are there any Brothers that have an interest in attending a Masonic luncheon today at noon. Members of the Order, please raise your hand I would like to get a count. So let me get a count hold your hands up. Okay, I got eighteen. I’m going to make reservations down here and everybody will pay their own tab then that way. Even though I’m running for office it doesn’t mean I buy you dinner. Encampment Laughter. 4
Commander-in-Chief Stephen Michaels Thank you Brother Charlie. Guard, can you see if Brother Webber is ready for his report? Is he outside? While we are waiting, found in your program are the Rules for the Encampment and we would like to review those at this time. Number one, the Encampment will be conducted in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order, as revised. Number two, the National Counselor will serve as Parliamentarian and National Counselor is also our Junior Vice Commander, Brother Pahl, sitting on my right. Number three, verbal reports should be a summary of the officers’ written report, which you should all have in your hands now. Extra copies are available on the back table. Number four, reports are not to exceed five minutes in length. Number five, when speaking on an issue at this Encampment, no person shall speak more than twice on any issue, each time not to exceed 5 minutes (exceptions being granted by 2/3 vote of this Encampment.) Number six, cell phones are to be turned off or set to vibrate to alert for incoming calls. All cell phone conversations should be conducted outside of the Encampment meeting room. Seven, Roberts Rules does not provide for seconding of nominations, once a nomination is made it stands on its own. Number eight, anyone outside the room at the sound of the gavel, prior to the election of officers, will not be allowed to enter until that session is completed. And number nine, all discussions will be conducted in the spirit of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty. A few informal rules, if you will. There are two mics for the benefit of the proceedings secretary. It would be advisable to state your name and your department before addressing the Encampment so this can be properly recorded for the proceedings. The proceedings if you attended last years Encampment and you have not yet received your proceedings those are available on the back table and Brother Ron Gill and his two assistants will be happy to set you up with a copy of the proceedings, which you are automatically entitled to. Nineteen ninety-eight and two thousand three are also available if you happened to attend those Encampments you may see Brother Gill in the back and he will take care of you. I would like to at this time introduce again our Past Commanders-in-Chief who are present. Starting with Brother Richard Greenwalt 1978-1979 from the Department of Ohio sitting in the back. Thank you. Brother Charles Corfman 1989-1990 from the Department of Ohio. Brother Elmer (Bud) Atkinson, 1992-1993 from the Department of Pennsylvania, back at the Quartermaster table. Thank you Bud. Brother Keith G. Harrison, 1994-1995 from the Department of Michigan. Brother Richard Orr, 1997-1998 from the Department of Pennsylvania. Colonel Andrew M. Johnson, 1998-1999 from the Department of Maryland. Brother Danny L. Wheeler, 1999-2000 from the Department of New York, at the back table. Brother Edward J.
