We are looking forward to a great reunion during Critter Cookout and 5th RTB Open House in April. Please pass the word and plan on being here. Thanks also to Ron Adams for his generous donation to the USMRA. Guys keep those donations coming in so we can continue to support our Ranger Community. Rangers Lead the Way! |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Michael Keohane Message: Chuck Windham : I doubt that there will be a shortage of cooks but you can sweeten the pot. I will be bringing all my cooking gear to tomorrow night's meeting for you to spread around the cooks at the Fish Fry. Since I won't be using this gear, I thought that donating all my gear to my fellow cooks would be a good idea. You can see that every cook gets something. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: ron rice Message: when i was accepted into the lodge F.M. was on the investigative comm. He and and older gentleman that worked at N Ga, Coll. and a man that lived on the right when you turn left at the light going out of town he drove a studebaker and worked in town hall before all those people got in trouble that worked there. there was a groc. store on the left and a slight inline before his house on the right. i lived in and apartment over top mrs. nina head whom everyone called aunt nina. she was married to i believe the only doctor in d until his death. she had a safe in her home that had many, many vials of gold in it. she was a great lady. and she owned a farm ouside of d. there use to be a store going out of town on the left and they sold a little "shine" with their groceries. the lodge at that time was over a service station on main street. cathy we did have some rough times there. i remember several times having to leave d early and going to yonah to hang on a rappel rope and tie it off behind my left side and using and ice axe to chop 6-10 inch thick ice off the mtn before the students arrived. there would be about six of us instructors in and old army 3/4 with no heat in it going up that road to yonah. all we used at that time was a 12 ft sling rope for a rappell seat and a snaplink. none of this new fangled stuff. and we made the students do body rappels w/o rappel seats or snaplinks. i reckon i have rambled enough. take care and if you have the time send me a message some time. thanks again for listening. rice |
