I want announce that Willociraptor has stepped up to take over as Alabama State Coordinator.
I am stepping down from that position only. I have enjoyed the last few years tremendously, but feel that it's time for young blood.
I want to thank Maximum Ordinate, Rambling Wreck, Google, EddieB, AH1Tom and the whole Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia crews.
Y'all all ROCK!
May Liberty increase.
The changing of the guard. Always a mixed feelings sort of event, don't you think?
Mixed Metaphor, I'm glad to hear you're not leaving entirely. The Mission still needs you.
Willociraptor, congratulations. You have big shoes to fill, but also plenty of mentorship available when you need it. Take the job and make it yours.
I tip my hat to the both of you.
In Liberty
Traci
It's been a pleasure working with you sir and you better not stay a stranger to Georgia.
Wilociraptor, I look forward to making your acquaintance sir and continuing the great relationship between Georgia and Alabama. Thanks for stepping up!
MM, it's been an honor to both learn from and work the line with you. You may never know how much and how far your impact reaches, but you can be certain that it carries significant weight and is changing lives!
From your family on the Georgia side of the border, there's nothing we can say or do to thank you enough for your immeasurable impact on those who continue to look up to you! We are truly grateful for your excellent service both in your passionate presentation of the material, and the infectious way you go about it! Through your attention to detail and impeccable leadership you are continuing to set an example to those you lead by understanding when to take a step back. You certainly leave behind a state in excellent condition and anyone who takes your place will have a set of very large shoes to fill! I want you to know that we consider you a huge blessing here and cannot wait to hear about your adventures to come!
I'm convinced that the Founding Fathers would all be nodding in approval and appreciation. May God continue to richly bless you as you've blessed us!
Wilociraptor, we're all cheering you on as you take on this new mantle and continue in the Mission! Thank you for stepping up, asking for a bigger bucket, and accepting the challenge to lead the state! And may you be given a generous portion of wisdom, grace, and endurance!
Gary, your hard work in Alabama is much appreciated! I always looks forward to working with you.
Will, thanks for taking on more duties. I know you will do well!
Thank you to both Gary and Will - keeping this railroad on the tracks is no simple task and takes a lot of energy, time, and teamwork.
CONGRATULATIONS, WILL!
It was always a pleasure working with you in Florida and no doubt, you'll be an amazing asset in Alabama!! :F
Thanks for stepping up.
I almost missed this post. Everybody reading this - always but always send me a PM when it's important stuff.
Willociraptor - I'm about to send you a PM with info on your new role. And thanks again.
Thanks Brother Gary and thank you Will for stepping in to take over the SC. It's nice to see that job going on to others to learn.
Good on ya Will! Love watching you grow and mature in the program. When do you get your Green Hat?
Gary,
You did a great job as SC. Thank you for your service!
Will,
Congratulations on your new position! I'm sure you'll do great!
MM,
an entirely reasonable decision; you're going to be too busy running Pistol Clinics and IBCs to deal with the admin stuff for the state. I know you're going to make a real impact there. ;)
Willorith, THANKS for stepping up! We know you're going to do great things.
You guys rock!

Will, it was such an honor meeting you at my very first AS! As I reflect back to that day, your sage words of encouragement were very instrumental in getting me on the trail. You are an amazing inspiration and I am very thankful for you! Thank you for stepping up!
Congrats, Will! Thanks for stepping up!
Overmountain,
Thank you for the very kind and motivational words. I hope to see soon!

Thank you everybody for the kind words of encouragement. And obviously a huge YUGE thanks to Mixed Metaphor as well for all the hard work over the past few years. I'm excited to be able to give back to the Appleseed community in a new/expanded role and am grateful to have so many people on my side in learning the ropes on this new adventure. Let's go fan some wildfire.
Thanks Gary for all you have dome. I remember when I was trying to shoot my first AS I had some questions. You were very gracious and went overboard to help me. Since I have become an IIT you have helped me and encouraged me. I appreciate you and consider you my friend. I look forward to working with you in the future brother!
Will, congrats on the promotion. At my 1st AS you were there and helped me a lot. I have never forgotten that and you agreed to be my Mentor. I will help you any way I can to promote the mission here. Thx for stepping up. Thank you for the friendship we share.
Gary, Great as always to see you yesterday at the Pistol Clinic. Thanks for all you have done as AL SC. I am looking forward to working more with you on Pistil Clinics.
Will, pleasure meeting you yesterday. Thanks for stepping up!
