Virginia Chapter III

Originally organized and chartered in March of 1978.
The chapter lasted thru 1978 and was not renewed in 1979 due to disagreements in the chapter between departments.
The original officers were:

William C. Lowe, President,
William H. Edwards III, Vice President
Michael E. Hart, Secretary/Treasurer.

Thru the years they all kept in touch and talked about reforming someday.

In February 1983, Bill Lowe contacted the original officers and set up a meeting at the Richmond FOP Lodge to discuss the possibility of reforming the chapter. They met along with several other area officers and submitted our package to Blue Knights International in May of 1983, receiving the official Charter in June of 1983 with our original number reinstated and 26 members listed on that first roster.

These first 26 members became our "Charter Member List". The officers for the first two years were:
President - William C. Lowe
V.Pres. - William H. Edwards III
Sec./Tres. - Michael E Hart

Since that time we have been helping the community with fund raising and other activities following the proud tradition of the Blue Knights.
