Ramblings from the Potentate’s Aides<br />
Just a quick note to<br />
add my THANKS to all<br />
the Potentate’s Aides<br />
who really stepped up to<br />
help this summer. We<br />
had a lot of events that<br />
needed extra help, such<br />
as the Friday Night<br />
Rich Johnson<br />
Oasis before the Pote’s<br />
Gala, which was held at<br />
the Barn — the first “official” Osman<br />
event to be held there!<br />
Then just a week later we hosted the<br />
Osman Family Picnic, which entailed<br />
cooking weinies and burgers, plus cutting<br />
Clowns<br />
watermelon, setting up the pot luck tables<br />
and assisting with the kids’ games.<br />
The Midwest was also a huge success,<br />
with a sellout of sloppy joes and lots of<br />
great snacks, food and beverages to keep<br />
everyone happy.<br />
Potentate’s Aides this year include:<br />
Assistant Chief Aides Ernie Flury, Jim<br />
Gratias, Jerry Payne, and Tom Schultz,<br />
and Aides Tim Beck, Mike Elwell, John<br />
Hawthorne, Norm Hodge, Dave<br />
McKinnon, Bob Misner, Don Nelson,<br />
Dan Ochocki, Al Ouradnik, Ron Pew,<br />
John Watson, Andy Weiss, and Mike<br />
Werth. A special thanks to their Ladies<br />
for allowing them to take time to help us.<br />
Look for these hard-working Aides at<br />
various events during the year and thank<br />

The Osman Shrine clowns have<br />
survived another Midwest. We sent three<br />
clowns into the depths of competition,<br />
with success.<br />
Tom Schultz came home with a solid<br />
2nd place for being a Character Clown,<br />
Mark Galloway achieved a 3rd place in<br />
the Tramp/Hobo, and last but not least,<br />
Travis Rather came home with the packet<br />
that he was given when he arrived on<br />
Thursday. However: Travis should have<br />
placed in both in the White faced clown<br />
competion and in parade-ability using the<br />
three-piece chicken dinner skit. There will<br />
be a chance next year for Travis to take the<br />
gold.<br />
The clowns were well represented by<br />
the three clowns that were at the Midwest,<br />
Thank you!<br />
