Summer 2017
From the Grand Chef de Gare Greetings Voyageurs Militaire; I would like to express my sincere Thanks, to all who supported me for Grand Chef de Gare of Grand du Texas. It is my desire to uphold all that’s expected of me in this position.
Grande Promenade 2017 Kerrville, Texas
Voiture and Cabane 1055 hosted the 2017 Grande Promenade and Installation of our Grand Officers for 2017-2018.
As of yet I have not selected all of the Directeurs needed to make this year an outstanding one. If you are a Directeur at this time, I would like for you to contact me, if you elect to keep your positions and actively continue to do what is expected in your position. It is my hope that we can work together and support this organization to the best of our ability. Thanks again to all who were at our Grande Promenade in Kerrville. Annemarie and I are hoping to see a great turnout for our upcoming Fall Cheminot in Corpus Christi and are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible. Remember, we all took the oath to attend all functions of The Grand, whenever possible. God Bless America and the Forty and Eight.
New Grand Chef de Gare George Murphy being sworn in at the Grande Promenade.
Corpus Christi to Host Fall Cheminot
It has been many years since a Grand Cheminot has been in the Costal Bend area. The ability to host an event comes from the drive of WW2 veteran Milton Sherwood, Correspondant, Voiture 1134. Voyageur Sherwood just will not give up and is blessed to be in good enough health into his 90’s to keep things going a little longer. His hope is to rekindle the interest in the Costal Bend area. Details follow for hotel and registration. Hope to have a good showing and/or ads to support this event.
