[email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________ PDD Phil Ruhmshottel rd rd Volume 16, Issue 3 53 Chief Devil Dog FIRESIDE THOUGHTS FROM THE 53 CHIEF Winter, 2009 There is nothing like the aroma of a big dog resting too close to the fire. It feels great too. Recently, I was relaxing in front of the fire while reading my department’s newsletter when I realized that since I joined the Marine Corps League in 1992 my department has grown by eight detachments and another was revived after many years of just sitting on the books. We have almost doubled the size of the department in the past 17 years. For a department as small as mine this is quite an accomplishment. Most of the new detachments and many of the older ones are very active and participate in a large number of MCL and community activities.

A big thanks goes out to all of the donors and volunteers like Kevin Bolender, Scott Egan, John Jordan, David Knipp, Ed O’Donnell, George Rafajko, Corpsman Jerry Biondolillo, Amy Vulpis, and the Executive Hardware staff. Thank you all again for your hard work and support for this good cause.
