Regional

On May 10, 1966, a letter from John J. Lambert, Jr. , Vice President in Charge of Regions AACA, was sent to Dave Blyler. In the letter Dave was notified that our application for a new Region had been approved by members of the National Board of Directors at Hershey, PA. Mr. Lambert added that our formal Charter would be sent as soon as it was printed. During it’s 25 years, the Region has had seventeen Directors (or Presidents). The very first was Dave Blyler, elected at that first meeting. He served two years, 1966 and 1967. In 1968 Ed Davis was elected to the office. Next came Tom Dixon for 1969, followed by Fred Josephsen in 1970. In subsequent years, the Region Director became known as the President. Danny LIttlefield led the Region in 1971, followed by Earl Manley who served two consecutive terms: 1972 and 1973. John Sacco took over as president for 1974, followed by Craig Deming. Nineteen seventy-six saw Manley return for another term. George Mano headed the region in 1977, then Ken Anderson took over the following year.
