As I begin this, my last Guildmaster’s Message, I want to focus on an introduction to your new Guildmaster. Welcome, Kris Polizzi!!
The passing of the mantle of leadership to Kris comes with a feeling of pride and of love. Love for this guild, and pride in that my choice as my successor was such an easy one. Her steadfast support of this Guild is apparent in everything that she has done for us and will be in her dedication as she carries the Guild into the next two years.
I said it once, and I’ll say it again; She is a prize fighter and knows what it takes to overcome obstacles. Know this, an acquaintance became a friend, a friend became a confidant, a confidant became a lifelong sister. My two years as Guildmaster would have been much more difficult without her support and counsel. As she and Clint Byers take the helm, I ask all of you for your continued support of both of them and the Guild as you have done for me. Good luck little sister, I have faith in you, you will do well.
Regards as always,
John L. DeWald Jr., Past Guildmaster
