Message from Jerry Styles Descendants of WWII Rangers President:
This past year, the leadership of
the RBA and S&D organizations worked with attorneys to consolidate these
organizations into one.
At the general meeting of both organizations
in New Orleans this past October, the membership voted and passed new
by-laws to
form a consolidated organization.
The by-laws will be posted on this website.
The lawyers have filed the proper documents
closing the RBA and S&D organizations, and have filed all documents for
the newly formed organization “Descendants of WWII Rangers.”
This name more fully describes who and what
we are.
The by-laws state that the organization is
to be run by a five member board to be elected for a two year term.
Following the meeting, the five members
elected are to meet and vote amongst themselves a President, Vice
President, Secretary, Treasurer and At-Large.
The following were elected and will serve a
two year term as President, Jerry Styles; Vice President, Stan Kinmonth;
Secretary, Lynn Towne; Treasurer, Ben Temkin; At-Large, Karla Merritt.
Colleen McDevitt will continue to act as
Webmaster and Newsletter Editor.
She has already placed a new icon on the
website
“Newsletter”.
As articles and news come into her, she will
post them at this site.
The Descendants of WWII Rangers
will maintain the same intent, dedication and purpose as the former S&D
organization.
We are dedicated to honoring the history of
WWII Rangers, seeing that a reunion is held each year with their
interests in mind, researching information for those who email with
requests, assisting with funeral arrangements, sending out birthday
cards, and holding events in local areas.
The first reunion of the newly
formed organization will be held October 17-21, 2012, at Columbus,
Georgia,
with the host hotel being the same as in 2009 and 2010, Holiday Inn at
Manchester Expressway.
I will co-chair this event with Lynn Towne.
We are in the process of finalizing menus,
and working on a Thursday outing.
We have already confirmed the Friday event
to be Rangers In Action and Ranger School Graduation,
Ft. Benning, GA.
The chairs for this event you will recognize
from past years:
Steve Ketzer, Hospitality, Stan Kinmonth,
The Store, Lynn Towne, Registration; Kathy Wiseman, Memorial Service.
If anyone is interested in assisting these
chairs, please contact them directly.
I look forward to serving this
organization as I have for the past years.
If you have any comments, thoughts or need
assistant, please contact me, or any member of this Board.
President Jerry Styles
Rangers
lead the way!
