Lt. Col. Adam Czekanski assumed command of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District from outgoing commander Lt. Col. Karl Jansen.
The formal change of command ceremony took place June 7 at 10:30 a.m. aboard the USS Little Rock located at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, One Naval Park, Buffalo NY.
"I am truly honored to have been selected to serve as the next commander of the Buffalo District,” said LTC Czekanski. “This organization is highly respected throughout the community and the Corps of Engineers for their engineering expertise, technical competence, and commitment to public service. I am very appreciative of this opportunity to serve with the men and women of the Buffalo District and I look forward to working together to solve our Nation's most challenging problems."
“It has been a distinct privilege to serve as the 72nd commander of the Buffalo District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,” said LTC Jansen. “The people of our district are among the finest Americans I have had the honor of serving with and I commend them for their extraordinary contributions to public service. Since 1857, Buffalo District has proudly served the people and the watersheds of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Reliable for their character, competence, and positive 'can-do' attitude, our people make things better for our fellow citizens by enabling economic prosperity, assuring national security, and protecting our vital natural resources - a true noble purpose.”
The change of command is a time-honored U.S. Army tradition dating back before the Civil War, and emphasizes the continuity of command and unit identity, despite changes in individual authority from one officer to another.

The park, a public garden, was created through Baron Haussmann's development of Paris; a former quarry was developed by engineer Jean-Charles Alphand (1817-91), horticulturist Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps (1824-73), and architect Gabriel Davioud (1824-81). Work was commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III in 1860, and opened for the Universal Exhibition in 1867.
I seen a similar pic online and decided I wanted to try it and put my own spin on it.
The ring is my Engineers ring, given to BASc students in Canada when they graduate University. The book is actually my electric motors textbook from probably 14 years(!) ago
Northern class operated by AT & SF Railroad and made by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in 1944. Because of wartime restrictions some of the parts were heavier to offset the lack of high-tensile alloys. As a result of the substitutions, these locomotives became the heaviest passenger locomotives ever built. Retired in 1959. [credit]
