Birney's Division Staff Change Notice


Officers, NCO’s and Soldiers,

A few weeks back, I received a phone call from our Division Chief of Staff. Beyond our normal conversation, Col. Tent Boham informed me that currently life was very busy for him. For this reason he requested, and I agreed to, him taking a leave of absence for the remainder of the year from his duties on the staff. I have valued his friendship and counsel. I hope that his concerns are remedied and resolved satisfactorily. He did say that we might see him at a few events later this year if his issues are manageable.

Effective July 8, 2019, I will appoint Lt. Brandy Taylor, rbheald@zoominternet.net , adjutant of the 2nd Battalion, to fill the position made by Colonel Boham’s absence as the Divisional Chief of Staff. With this appointment, Lt. Taylor will be brevetted to the rank of Major. Major Taylor, like Colonel Boham, will be assisting me in the communication and coordination of events; making sure that the Division’s needs and concerns are addressed. 

Due to this adjustment in the Battalion and Divisional staff, all correspondence that needs to be routed through the battalions will be submitted to Captain Jeff Blanc, jvanceb@gmail.com.   
I look forward to seeing many of you at Hannastown later on this month. Many of you will be traveling north to Mumford at the Genesee Country Village, also in July.  I have not attending this event in many years, but recall it being a very quality event. Also, the deadline for early registration for Hale Farm is fast approaching.  I have been taking part in the phone conferences for this event. It will, as always, be another event you will want to attend.

Regards,
BG Paul Baltzer
Commanding
Birney’s Division
