COT: Welcome back to Major Payne who was the founder of the Flagship AO in the region, the Patriot. We spent some time talking about the seed he planted, and, along with others, watched it grow and expand around the region. Major Payne reflected on his chance encounter with La Forge and some of the early memories of founding the AO. At 27 strong today just at the Patriot, with many new PAX and many new AO’s over the past few months, clearly he can see that the seeds continue to be planted and are growing strong in the Capital Region.
