Gentlemen and Ladies of the Brigade, it is with heartfelt disappointment that I bring myself to cancel the DIVMO Muster. I had a dozen commitments from 5 states, but with increasing travel restrictions, motel and restaurant restrictions, too many have had to pull out. I understand, and while holding out hope until the last, it has come to this. My sincere regrets, as I think I had something really special planned for all attending. We'll try it again next year.
In particular, the Nebraska contingent was concerned they might not be allowed back into the state. As I suspect NE has been looking for such an excuse for years, I appreciate their concern.

I hope to see many of you at the Dept Muster next month. I will bring along the light artillery. However, what do I do with 24 cans of shaving cream?
