Jayshoneybunny and Cheriesgeek are now the two newest red hats of Indiana. Since their first shoot in their home state as Instructors was this past weekend's shoot at Redbrush Rifle Range in Evansville, I'll take the opportunity to brag on them a little on behalf of the State of the Hoosier.

They are greatly appreciated in our little enclave in SW Indiana and they are pursuing spearheading some increased Appleseed presence in the SE part of the state with the incorporation of some Ohio border raiders.

Both of them passed their instructor checks and took the hat in Wyoming at the recent Memorial Circus Ten Day event, but they deserve a home state forum recognition thread as is the custom. The Wyoming circus AAR is here. https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=65620.0.

These are some traveling instructors, folks. May you see them at an event near you.

Big huzzah.

Aww, shucks.... you're making my face match the color of my new hat.  Or maybe it is from all that sun this past weekend. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I got the orange hat at Evansville.   It was nice to have Evansville as my first event with the new hat.

"That gallant officer is General Fraser. I admire him, but it is necessary that he should die. Do your duty."  - Morgan's orders to Timothy Murphy at the Second Battle of Saratoga 1777, Oct 7

Our cause is just . . . our country will be grateful - George Rogers Clark

"This country has been made by the Timothy Murphys, the men in the ranks. Conditions here called for qualities of heart and hand that Tim Murphy had in abundance. Our histories should tell us more about the men in the ranks, for it was to them, more than to the generals that we were indebted for our military victories." -  Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as New York Governor, 1929, at the dedication of the memorial to Murphy

Congrats again and thank you both for all you do for the program!  It is always a great pleasure to instruct with you.  And your seventh stepping is incredible.  Best wishes for all your future Appleseeding! :beer:

What awesome news.  Congratulations to you both!

Can't wait to see you guys at the next shoot and would love to hear all about Wyoming.

well done dynamic duo !  :beer:
During the seventy years which elapsed between the overthrow of the Stuart dynasty and the victory of Wolfe on the Heights of Abraham, the relations between the American colonies and the British government were, on the whole, peaceful; and the history of the colonies, except for the great and romantic struggle with New France, would have been almost destitute of striking incidents. In view of the perpetual menace from France, it was clearly unwise for the British government to irritate the colonies, or do anything to weaken their loyalty; and they were accordingly left very much to themselves. Still, they were not likely to be treated with any great liberality,â€"for such was not then, as it is hardly even yet, the way of governments...
