It is my pleasure to introduce the latest in what I hope is a long line of Alaskan Appleseed Instructors. 

Pete! has served at multiple events here in Alaska, after having wisely moved here from some lesser state in the lower 48.  Having to break him of all those bad habits certainly slowed his progress, but in the end, he made it, none the worse for wear. 

In all seriousness, Pete! came to us as a squared-away instructor.  He just needed some time-in-grade and a bit of polish.  It was my considered honor to present Pete! with his much-deserved Red Hat.

First off I don't know why anyone in their right mind would leave the great state of Missouri to go off and live in a land of endless wild frontier and so much hunting opportunity and so on and so forth is way beyond my understanding. ;D

Congrats Pete! If you ever make back to this lesser state of MO  ;D, be sure to plan it around an Appleseed and come visit us.

 While we still miss Pete (and The Beard) here in Illinois - knowing that he's still carrying around his Bucket for Bailing in the wilderness somewhere keeps us stoked for the future of AS.

Congrats!

Way to go Pete!
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

Thanks everyone!  No one told me how much heavier the red hats are.  I guess they have to be to handle all of the bailing!  ;)

Indiana Appleseed:  Farm Bred, Brass Fed

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

Congratulations Mr. Pete!

UL
For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775
