Duane Tackitt 2008-2009 Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Report of the President Annual Report 2008-2009 Summary of Activities: I met with the incoming President of the General Smallwood Chapter to discuss chapter activities and NSSAR outreach education programs. I have also scheduled a MDSSAR Executive Committee Meeting for July 26, 2008 to discuss the goals and objectives of the leadership team for 2008-2010. Attended the NSSAR Consensus Conference held in Raleigh, NC on April 12-13, 2008. The goal of the meeting was the development of the core purpose for The Center for Advancing America’s Heritage. This included the strategy and scope of development of the capital campaign and identification of next steps to be taken prior to the 118 th Congress. There were approximately 25 participants in the program that include SAR members, and Headquarters Staff. The participants were divided into small discussion groups. Although PG Bruce Wilcox and PG Roland Downing attended the sessions, the focus group was led by an outside consultant. It was a very exciting meeting with many ideas and suggestions that the NSSAR Staff have taken back with them to develop into actionable items. MDSSAR participated in the 118 th Annual Congress and was well represented with nine delegates plus guests. Dave Hoover and I along with our spouses hosted the traditional MDSSAR Hospitality Room; after a one year absence compatriots were happy to see the Maryland Sons BACK. Several of the General Officers, including PG Wilcox and PG Appleby join us. I was pleased to accept the following awards for MDSSAR and our members: Certificate of Appreciation: Awarded to Chairmen or Vice Chairman of National Committees: Christos Christou, Jr. (Chairman of the Essay Contest Committee) Barrett L. McKown (Chairman of the Protocol Committee) Douglas B. Stuart (Chairman of the Investment Committee) R. Duane Tackitt (Support to the Center for Advancing America's Heritage Capitol Campaign) M Hall Worthington (VPG of the Mid-Atlantic District) Liberty Medals Awarded to members who are the first line sponsor for 10 additional SAR members: Cecil Massie, Christopher Smithson, Kenneth Zimmerman, all received a bronze star in lieu of a second medal.

At the June BOM, Jim Ballard was elected by the BOM to serve as the President with the charge of re-vitalizing the Washington County chapter. Several members of the Executive Committee including Ed Foreman, Chris Christou, Ernie Irish and myself attended the chapter meeting on August 4th. Several past members of the chapter attended and plans were made for a follow on meeting for October 16 th . President Ballard indicated that he had several new member prospects and would continue to solicit support for past members to become active in the chapter.

Maryland first celebrated its founding in 1834 and has continued to do so in 50 year intervals. The pattern for celebrating thus established, Maryland was ready as 1984 approached to look back with pride on 350 years of political, social and cultural achievement. As in previous an- niversaries, the celebration of the past became an affirmation of the future. To prepare the state for its 1984 celebration, the 1982 General Assembly of Maryland passed a resolution (Appendix i) creating the 350 Coordinating Com- mittee which subsequently became the Maryland Heritage Committee.

Davidson Monarch butterfly USFWS Back cover: Waterfowl on Hail Creek Terry Willis This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 150-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 550 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 70 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes.

  • Bee Final Round Bee Final Round Regulation Questions
    USHB Nationals Bee 2015-16 Bee Final Round Bee Final Round Regulation Questions (1) In his memoirs, the losing general of this battle claimed he \always regretted that the last assault at [this battle] was ever made." One general on the winning side called this battle \murder, not war." For several days, the losing side refused to ask for a truce to collect the wounded, who suffered to death in the June heat. After this battle, the losing side retreated to cross the James River, then completed the Overland Campaign and began the siege of Petersburg. For the point, name this battle that climaxed on June 3, 1864, when Robert E. Lee's fortified army killed thousands of advancing Union troops. ANSWER: Battle of Cold Harbor (2) Curt Gentry alleges these documents were taken away by John Mohr and James Jesus Angleton, who claimed they were merely transporting \spoiled wine." In 1972, Helen Gandy was instructed to begin destroying these documents, although several of them ended up with their owner's subordinates, like Mark Felt. These documents contained information about the sexual lives of men like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. For the point, name these incriminating documents used by a powerful director of the F.B.I. to blackmail and control much of Washington. ANSWER: the personal files of J. Edgar Hoover (or Hoover's Official and/or Confidential File; prompt on FBI files) (3) This work's frontispiece features a quote reminding an audience \that obloquy is a necessary ingredient" in forming true glory. Theodore Sorensen may have ghostwritten this work, which was written while its author was bedridden due to back surgery.
