Garrison News
| Rest well, pilot. | |

 Midwest Garrison was saddened to learn of the passing of TI-9517, Michael Walden, who we learned died peacefully the morning of June 8th, 2017. Mike, who was known as "The Judge", joined the Midwest Garrison as a TIE Pilot in 2008, as a member of the Jolly Roger Squadron. He was a kind soul, who made many friends in the Legion. He was also a member of Garrison Carida, after moving to Pennsylvania for a brief time; more recently returning to Illinois before his untimely passing. So, buckets off troopers! Til we meet again, Judge...

 Another successful C2E2 is in the books for Midwest Garrison. Congratulations to Eric Werner (TK-41551) for doing a fantastic job organizing the 3 day event for us. Members of the Midwest Garrison were joined by Rebel Legion: Nar Shaddaa Base, the Mandalorian Mercs and Galactic Academy, greeting many happy faces of the convention attendees. A great was had by all...we made a lot of new people interested in joining our ranks. A successful Droid Hunt was run, with many excellent prizes given out to the drawing winners. Many thanks to everyone working the booths for the convention...it could not have been done without the teamwork of all involved. Group photo by Matthew Crowley Photography.
