Retirement from the Lafayette Division

[David Danner]

Gentlemen of the AotC. It give me great pleasure to report that Colonel Olivier Bianchi of the Lafayette Division will retire with full honors. Colonel Bianchi is the mayor of large French city and this position requires the majority of his time and energy. Olivier is a gifted HPS player and will return to our ranks when he has the opportunity to devote to the Union effort. I hope all will wish him well in his professional efforts and celebrate him in his absence. General Shaw has engaged the Officer's Club for the celebration and General Chatain will provide the drinks. Come listen to the AotC Marching Band during the ceremonies. And gentlemen, the Lafayette Division will be in the Honor Guard position and surround our friend for the evening events. Salute.

A round of drinks them for everyone on my tab, looking forward to Olivier's eventual return!

Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to provide the party with a full load of Champagne and fine French wines.

I have known Col.Bianchi for years and it is him to introduced me to the club.
He is a fine player and gentleman and the AotC is very proud to have in its rank a man with such a high civil position.

Olivier,
I wish you all the best in the future and am already looking forward to your return
