Negative! Your are the Senior Colonel (you have me by a couple years).
I still represent WBAF HQ Staff (there are a couple of us remaining).

Thank God. I knew if I posted here I'd troll up another Colonel or two.
Good for us. Is Colonel John still ... ummm ... with us? Debbie? Last
Colonel I saw was Joni Benedict 6 or 7 years ago.



Next order of business... do we reinstate the Purple Hat?

ABSOLUTELY. And I've got the damned thing around here somewhere. It is
probably with my green hat, wherever the hell that is. BTW, Colonel Joni
bought a stash of the old greenies, but the last I saw of them was the last
time I saw her.

If you will instruct Colonel Jay in the proper selection of candidates and
winner of the Purple Hat, I'll see to it that they get it in the mail,
possibly before they go home.

Jay ... your certificates are painstakingly working their way to you via the
World Wide Wait; each one is 5MB and while we have broadband, 20 MB of
upload is still a bunch.

It is quarter of one your time on Saturday right now. If you don't see them
by two, drop me a line and I'll see if something went astray.
