I want to thank Department of NC Brothers Doug Elwell, PDC, Fred Fulcher, PCC, Rolf Maris, PCC, and James Johnson for attending the National Encampment with me as members of the Department of NC Delegation.  Their attendance and participation at the Encampment is greatly appreciated.  The Department of NC Delegation of five Brothers was the largest ever to attend the National Encampment.
