From Alabama, they served as Divisional Youth Leaders and Camping Directors, first in the Maryland/West Virginia division and then in Tampa for the Florida division. Major Art, born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, has been a member of The Salvation Army church his entire life. He met Ann while serving as the Corps Officer in Paris, Texas.

Both are thrilled with their new appointment and are looking forward to being a part of the community outreach and ministry.
