The new Devon leadership….
….there was quite a turnover in the leadership of Red Devon USA this weekend. The new officers all come from the smaller of the two associations that recently merged to form the new blanket organization.
Elected president is Roy Doan of Tennessee, Vice President is Jacob Owen of Kentucky, and Treasurer is Paul Calucci of New York. Guille Yearwood was added to the board.
When the merger was first suggested, there was considerable opposition within the American Devon Cattle Association because of fear it would be gobbled up by the larger North American Devon Association (NADA). As a gratifying sign that the six-year long rift between the two groups has been healed, the NADA members clearly were ready to bury the hatchet and cast their votes to elect leaders from among their former rivals.
Congratulations, then, are in order for both sides….now certifiably one. The Red Devon meeting was held at Owen’s beautiful farm in Kentucky. Photos coming soon.

Did Wooz get elected to anything, or did she use up all her good luck when she got you? I voted once, then they told me the ballot was not correct, and I had to vote again, which I did not –one stamp was enough.

Wooz lost by one vote….so it’s your fault!
I view it not so much as losing the election as getting my wife back. The six years she put in as registrar meant longer hours than a fulltime job (unpaid).
We were gratified, though, by the number of people who told her they voted for her. My opening line was a joke….I have no idea what the results were. They don’t announce them. Chicago politicians are envious and studying our voting procedures. First time I was ever invited to vote twice!
