 Midwest Garrison was saddened to learn of the passing of BH-3259, Terry Beisel, who we learned died the evening of June 27th, 2017. Terry joined the Midwest Garrison as a bounty hunter in July 2011, as Boba Fett of the Bounty Hunters Guild. He was a great man; funny, witty, caring, and fought hard to survive. These past few years weren't good for him, he suffered a lot. He was a single father, and his daughter Abby was his world. No matter the circumstances, she came first. He made a tremendous amount of friends, both in the Legion, and out, and had a lasting positive effect on those who had the pleasure of meeting him. "Terry, you were a father, a brother, a son, a friend. You fought the odds, and stood your ground. You were a true Fett. You will be missed, Brother, but your memories will live forever." So, buckets off troopers! Til we meet again... #StarWars #official501st #501stMWG #501stBHG #BountyHuntersGuild #BucketsOff

| Apologies, don't send me before the Emperor...please! | |

 As Garrison PRO, I'd like to take a moment and apologize about the lack of updates on this page. I was waiting for a few news items, so I could make a post I was planning, and when it didn't occur in a timely fashion, then I went on vacation, then trooping...and honestly the website just got away from me. Information has been flowing in other avenues, but this medium has been lacking, and for that, I'm sorry. Over the next few days, I'm going to be catching up with some of the stories and posts that should have appeared here, which didn't. So, there will be some old news showing up. I'll try and space them out a bit, so as to not just drop it all at once (and to still allow me some time to properly format things to my perfectionism)...

 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.
