Blue Knights®

It is with great sorrow that we receive news the passing of the original and current International Webmaster, Gil Mitchell. Gil was a true, loyal Blue Knight to the end and a dear friend, counsel, and confidant. He passed at 0023 hrs EST today December 23, 2009. As a Past President, I can say that Gil was a wonderful asset during my tenure. Additionally he marshaled our presence into this thing we call the internet and its varying growth stages, through bulletin boards, websites and Yahoo groups. He worked tirelessly to make these things better and work for us, all for zero pay. I can honestly say that our internet presence, under his stewardship is the single most important factor in our growth in the last few years. I am confident in saying his work has had significantly more impact on this organization than that of me or any other International President of this organization, with only exception being our original founding fathers. I only hope he does NOT have the same impact on Heaven I—they DO NOT need any help in recruiting members! Ride free, Gil!
