An update on what's been happening. We spent this past weekend with the Ohio Commodores. I was an original Commodore in 1966 when J.T. Rhodes began the organization. The Commodores were started to act as an honor guard for the govenor and other dignataries at special occasions, etc. They have become much more over the years. Saturday evening we enjoyed a boat ride on the Ohio here in Cincy and then a formal dinner at the Westin on Sunday evening with Govenor Strickland as guest speaker. For us the exciting part of the evening was the fact that the Grand Commodore asked me to give the invocation before dinner. We were very pleased to have an important role in the event. When the evening at the Westin ended we all walked the skywalk over to the Netherland Hotel for a post-party party at Palm Court. For two of the older Herberts we managed to stay until the wee hours and left the party after midnight. We are looking forward to the next party which will be in Sept. The Commodores are celebrating the 100 anniversary of the birth of the late Govenor Jim Rhodes.
