Congratulations Jon!  You climbed that ladder fast, and you've worked hard for this.  Looking forward to working with you again soon.

Now if I can just dig up some pictures of the glove...

Huzza!  Thank you for stepping up.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Congrats Jon.
Think with love and truth
See with love and truth
Speak with love and truth
Hear with love and truth
And come from the heart, with love, and truth, and honor.

Growing old is mandatory; Growing up is optional!  :)

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?

Congratulations to Red Hat Instructor Grumpy1!!!! We have all watched you work very, very hard so that others could attain their goals as Appleseed students. Folks, you will not meet a more cheerful or enthusiastic instructor working on an Appleseed line. You do a good job.

Thank You Everyone for The Positive Feedback! ,It definitely means alot to me! :)

Last August I Particitated in my First Appleseed in Kinderhook, I listened to the mission and I saw these Instructors work, and  tell the History with so much feeling, and dedication, I was hooked!

I remember last October, in Rotterdam The Mrs , asked me "Ready to step up?", we could use the help, She knew what my answer was! Absolutly Yes!

I remember Mark R1SGX2 Dropping that Bright Orange Hat in The Dirt, and Saying  " You need to Get Dirty If Your Gonna Wear This  &)...  That really stuck with me, and always will !

I remember Smurf Telling me" One of the best things about being an instructor, is the Great People you Meet!" ,  Well I didn't know at the time , but he Really undersold that. I have met many Awesome People, and made many new Friends.

Last weekend I was promoted to Instructor , by the Shoot Boss Viet Vet and Instructor Josey Wales, both who were at my First Appleseed, that Was Great!

To Everyone who has helped me along The Road, Past, Present, and Future.

THANK YOU! :bow:

Jon

See You at Whishys
