<font size="3">Temporary Changes in ANV Command</font id="size3">
Sirs of the Club and Army of Northern Virginia Members:
After a very bad personal summer I, the Commanding Officer of the ANV, will be taking furlough for the time being. I will be replaced in my stead by <b>Interim Commanding Officer Brigadier General Dave Bowman</b> of the II Corps, ANV. I will still be around and will be playing games, but the operational command of the Army will be handled by General Bowman. I will still try to maintain mostly through contact with him informational command over the Army so I am not totally in the dark when I get back.
When I do get back some changes may take place in the duties I do, but that is sometime off. I plan on taking off at least a month.
Please offer General Bowman a hearty congrats and all are welcome to share a drink with us at the Clump of Trees Tavern in his honor:

I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
-Abraham Lincoln, 1st Inaugural Address
