FOP Retirees
RETIREES CORNER GREETINGS, FELLOW RETIREES. IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE MY LAST ARTICLE TO YOU. SUMMER HAS COME AND GONE. THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER, THE LEAVES ARE FALLING AND BUTTERBALL JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A SHORTAGE OF OVERSIZED FRESH TURKEYS THIS YEAR. SO BE SURE TO GET YOUR OVERSIZED BUTTERBALL EARLY. JAN AND I, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER RETIREES, ATTENDED BOTH THE STATE AND NATIONAL FOP CONFERENCES. FOR THOSE STILL ACTIVE, BE SURE AND CHECK PAGE 12 OF THE LATEST NATIONAL JOURNAL, SHOWING DANNY OVERLEY AND FAMILY ANOUNCING HIS RECEIVING THE JACK DUDEK NATIONAL MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARD. THE RETIREES CLUB HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND BE ACTIVE. REPRESENTATIVES ALONG WITH ACTIVE OFFICERS HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL CITY/COUNTY COUNCIL HEARINGS CONCERNING EVENTS SURROUNDING OUR 2014 CONTRACT. BE SURE AND KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE COMEING WEEKS. IN OCTOBER WE HAD NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2014 CLUB OFFICERS. I DECIDED NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION. I HAVE SERVED AS YOUR PRESEDENT FOR THE LAST 10 TO 12 YEARS. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THOSE HAVE BEEN GOOD YEARS. WE HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN THRU A LOT TOGETHER. BUT IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE CLUB TO THE NEXT LEVEL. LAST WEEK I TURNED THE GAVEL OVER TO OUR NEW PRESIDENT, R.D. DANNY LEE. I BELIEVE THAT HE AND HIS BOARD ARE THE ONES TO DO IT. THEY ARE BOB WARD, VICE PRESIDENT, LEROY CALLAHAN TREASURER, BARBRA STARK SECRETARY, AND SUSAN (FEELEY) HORAN CHAPLAIN. I HOPE YOU WILL GIVE THEM THE SAME SUPPORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME. IT HAS BEEN MY PLEASURE TO BE YOU SPOKESMAN AND ADDVICATE. YOU ALL STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. TOM COTTON, PAST PRESIDENT.
