Thanks for your confidence, Karl! I'm a bit overwhelmed at this point, so I'm not so sure. :roll:

Rick,

I understand, but do not be unsure or indeed overwhelmed, be confident and bold, put you own stamp upon the AotP, you are in Command !

It is not so long ago I found myself in exactly the same position as you are now facing..........you have my email, hit me up with anything with which I may assist. We may wear different tunics but we are General Officers and Army Commanders and that Sir, sets us apart.

Lieutenant General Whipkey, <Salute>

Thank you Richard for being willing to continue stepping up and take on further commands in the Club!

The Union Army will certainly benefit from your being at the helm of the Army of the Potomac!!
