Director’s Desk
On the first day of summer the mercury peaked
at over the 100 degree mark! After a fairly mild
May, it looks like the dog days of summer have
officially arrived! Luckily for the graduating
Warrant Officers’ class, the temperature
moderated nicely allowing for a much more
comfortable day for them to carry out their
community service project on June 24th. Last
year’s graduating class painted tree grates. This
year, there were only three graduates so they
were not able to re-paint the curbing throughout
town but they concentrated their efforts on the south end of Main Street
where the curb painting and non parking zones were in worst need of
freshening up.
The starting point was
the curbing in front of
Pizza Hut. Lunch was at
Farmers Café where
they were allowed to
eat for 50% off their
normal menu prices!
DBi picked up that tab
so thank you Farmers
Café! The group moved
north from there and
got as far as Main and
Elm by days end. The
men doing the work
were Warrant Officer Candidates graduating class of 2012: Dave Sawyer,
Jason Bedisky, Gregory Carson, and Alfred White. CW3 Brian Temple,
Senior TAC was the supervisor along with section Primary TAC CW2 Wayne
Sexton, and CW2 Robert Thompson WOC staff officer. SSG Andrew Hurnall
was the medic and Ronnie Mason was their photographer.
