White Rose's Adventures

I have enjoyed serving as the Assistant HOTH Coordinator and then the HOTH Coordinator for the State of Mississippi for better than 2 1/2 years combined. So it is with mixed emotions that I write this email resigning from the position of HOTH Coordinator. I have always been a firm believer that even though the position is voluntary, it should not be treated as one. I have also felt that if ever I was not able to give the position the attention that is deserves, then I should step down. Our veterans and troops deserve someone that has the time to do the position justice.  Since starting my pilot car business a little over 3 months ago, I have felt that I have failed in holding up to that standard. I am very grateful to Ed  and others for covering as much of the HOTH missions as they have in that time to give me a chance to get settled into the business and see what was going to happen. I had great hope that it would settle down and I would be able to continue as HOTH Coordinator, but sadly the pilot car business keeps me busier than trucking did and I don’t see it letting up for a while.

On a good note, there has been someone that has stepped up to the plate and is wiling to take over the HOTH mission in MS. Dean Jaynes is a Viet Nam Veteran of ’68 – ’69 – awarded a bronze star in 1969 and an active member of the PGR. I hope that you all will welcome him with open minds, hearts and arms. He will be sending out an introduction email soon. He is ready to take the rains and runs with it. I feel from talking with him that I am leaving HOTH in very capable hands. Thank you Dean for volunteering to take over the HOTH mission. Whereas I am sad to not be serving our veterans and troops in such a manner any more, I know that you will do a fine job of picking up where I and the ones that have served in this position before me have left off.

I look forward to seeing what comes next personally, professionally and in my service to the PGR. But for now, as with so many of us, tell me where to be and I will be there.
