I am humbled to be the recipient of the BOTY for 2021. Tells you all what kind of year we had! My thanks to the committee for bestowing this honor upon me. It is a pleasure to serve with and lead this fine chapter of men. Be sure to commend Benny Malone (2020) and Jack Cook (2021) for being President’s Award winners as well. It’s always right to recognize men for special contributions made to the chapter.

Let’s be selling and singing those Valentines! Also, let’s fully commit Rest of the World to memory and put on a great performance in Alabaster! Work those faces and sell those songs. Until next week, KTTWS. SteveG
