Running an Award from Behind the Scene

I've got a buddy who is Quartermaster in the post in the next town over. His post is also in my District and as Commander of the District AND a friend I have been planning on recommending this guy for the annual award of MR. QUARTERMASTER.
Well I just found out, after reviewing the rules, that only the post Commander can recommend him!
Well I got on the horn and let him know I was writing it and wanted his signature on the bottom.
He is delighted, as he should be; I'm doing all the work!
Today I will be going to his house to get the document signed and then can submit it!
I wish Gene all the luck!
