Ironically despite all that, Bruce Hacon is one of the least-experienced of the aerie's new executive. Aerie Vice President John Hills is in his seventh term in that office, having served also as Aerie President. He has been an officer since 2005. Jim Tolley is now in his 13th term as Aerie Secretary, is a former Trustee and was just installed as 2014-2015 Ontario Provincial Aerie Trustee.
Treasurer Robert Williams has served as Aerie President three times and has just completed a term as Ontario Provincial President. Jim Everingham will serve his sixth term as Aerie Conductor. Inside Guard Ron Burt has been an officer since 1996, Aerie President twice, was Provincial President, Provincial Trustee and until this year was long-serving Provincial Treasurer. He is also Past President of Eastern Canada Region.
The Trustees are equally experienced: Roy Marshall is serving his second term in that office, Richard Guay his fourth term, David Rowe his sixth term and Mark Ticehurst is stepping down from his sixth term as Aerie President during 12 years as an aerie officer.

Having created an executive of that stature it's little wonder the aerie has yet to fill the Position of Junior Past President - so many are already something else.
It's reassuring to see the fastest-growing Aerie in Ontario in such good hands.
