8/23/2022 0 Comments Region 1 Summit a success!The region one summit was a wonderful event! The Aries was represented by Vice Admiral Michael Wilson, along with myself and Naomi. Highlights of the weekend included a bear in the parking garage on Friday night (no one was harmed!), an assassination plot on our Region Coordinator Phillip Cox by a very "Colonel West" looking Thomas Sigmundsson (discovered by some Marines in attendance), and a charity auction that raised $1500, which resulted in Phillip, the CS Chief of Staff Kevin Plummer, and our Fleet Admiral himself getting cake in the face!. Phillip's was administered by our very own Commanding officer!
This was followed up by a dance party, with music provided by the Aries contingent. which ran well into the night and ended, as is tradition, with a (semi) circle of the officers in attendance, arm in arm, singing American Pie. During closing ceremonies, Admiral Wilson and Brigadier Cox presented my wife with her promotion to Captain!! Congratulations to Naomi! The closing ceremonies ended with a tribute to region members lost over the last several years including our own David "DAR" Roberts and longtime friend to the Aries, Dennis Rayburn. After closing, we and several members of the region joined Jill Rayburn in a loving final goodbye to Dennis at the waters in front of the hotel. Pictures and video are posted to the Aries Facebook group.
