Division President’s Message
What a busy summer! I drove 2,442 UDC miles in May, June, and July. This included trips to Winnsboro
and North Myrtle Beach to charter two new chapters. Congratulations to the twelve charter members of
John Bratton Chapter No. 929 in Winnsboro and the eight charter members of Fort Randall Chapter in
North Myrtle Beach.
Some of you are aware of the budget crisis that has threatened our wonderful South Carolina Confederate
Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia. State funding to this facility has been cut for the new fiscal
year, and director Allen Roberson and his staff have been forced to find other methods of funding to keep
their door open. We can all help by joining the museum. Information about membership fees and a form
for joining can be found at the SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum website. I urge each of
you to help keep this facility open by becoming a member.
I have had several inquiries in the past few months about volumes 10, 11, and 12 of Recollections and
Reminiscences. These three volumes are sold out and will not be reprinted as long as we have so many
copies of volumes 1 through 9 on hand. If you are downsizing and would like to sell a complete set or
individual volumes of the books, please let me know. I will add something to the Division website about
purchasing out-of-print volumes.
Speaking of Recollections and Reminiscences, I will have sets of volumes 1 – 9 available at the convention
for $100.00 per set. I will also have individual books for $10.00 each. One book makes an excellent
speaker gift or birthday or Christmas gift for a friend or relative. A complete set is a priceless gift.
The convention committee has been working hard to assure a smooth and timely convention in Charleston.
Every chapter deserves to have delegates at the convention to act on the chapter’s behalf. Please make sure
your chapter is represented and your credentials form is mailed on time.
New District officers have been elected, and they will begin their duties in September. Good luck to all of
you as you prepare for the next two years of service.
If anyone needs a roommate for the Division convention in Charleston, please let me know, and I will try to
find someone to share a room with you.
I would like to thank everyone for the kindness, consideration, and respect you have shown me during the
past two years. It has been my great honor to serve as president of the South Carolina Division. I have
learned a lot, and I hope you have, too. Please welcome the next Division president in September and treat
her as kindly as you have treated me.
