Hello, While doing a name search through the Ancestry website, my granddaughter found a newspaper article about the 64th Reunion of the National 6th Infantry Division. My father’s name was in the article. Emily, my granddaughter wanted to know if I had a copy in my Dad’s papers. I didn’t.
I knew he went to the reunions. Dad died in an auto wreck on his way back from a Reunion in the mid-west in 1993e went to the reunions. What I never heard him talk about was that he was President of the group, until 1982.
My father was Jefferson A. Sherlin from Little Rock, Ark, The article was in the St. Joseph News-Press (St. Joseph, Missouri) on Sunday, August 8, 1982, pg. 10.
My questions: What were the duties of the Present? How long were the terms? Does anyone have a picture of when he took office?
I’ve tried through the years to put together an album of his military service ( he was a Major when he retired). Having this Thank you for your help, information will add another chapter to his Military story. Thank you for any help with this, Mrs. Vera Sherlin Bowie
I will look into the records that I have and see if I can find what you are looking for. A president’s or any board member’s term was 1 year for the organization. Many served several terms.
