Meet the new National President

Judy Rock

I am honored to be serving as the National President of the LGAR. I will do my best to continue to make this organization grow and prosper. If we all work together this will be an easy task.

I have been a member of the LGAR since the National Convention in Buffalo, N.Y. in 1987. I was initiated by PNP sister Lynne Bury during her first term as President and was honored to have her install me as the National President 24 years later. I joined the organization under my great uncle Alonzo A. Aldrich who was a private in the 22nd MI Volunteer Infantry. I have since discovered several ancestors that served including my great grandfather John W. Minnie, who served as a corporal in the 5th MI Volunteer Infantry and another great uncle that served with the 7th MI Volunteer Infantry at the angle in Gettysburg during Picket’s charge.

My husband, Ervin and I have been married for 44 years. We have 3 sons, who married wonderful young women, 2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. Our family has been active in Civil War reenacting for almost 30 years and attended the 125th anniversary battles and plan to attend a few of the 150th anniversary battles.

History has been a passion of mine since I was in grade school, so I guess this is a perfect place for me.

I look forward to working with you and visiting as many Departments as possible, Please send me your annual meeting schedules as soon as possible so I can create a schedule for myself.
