Message: Once again, great job by the "Secretary! It always heartens this ol' fellow to read what you guys are doing. Thanks! Some questions/input/just honking! Is Ted Tilson the "Ranger" Captain that I knew @ MRC back in '69-'71? Drove a Toyota Jeep? Next, Halloween; The folks in the surrounding areas always came to the "Trailer Park," just below NGC, for "Trick or Treating!" Then they'd "drop off" all the stray dogs in the WORLD! Took a while to clear out the critters! As far as "outsiders" at the CCO, maybe sell "wristbands?" Remember, a huundred years ago, when we went to clubs/honky Tonks, and they: stamped our hands? Finally; Talking about "Boot Leggers!" There was a great BBQ at a fellows place, Mike Martin's. All the folks were there and guess what? We ran out of beer! Well, Mike Smith and I take off in Mike's Red,MGB, Convertible, on a "Beer Run!" Get to the place and the fellow loads up the trunk from his "Coolers" in his double wide! Outside is a horse. I'm in a cast,(bad jump,) from thigh to ankle. Mike challenges me to ride the horse. Up on the horse, w/ Mike's help, and off I go, straight down the "hard top!" The horse skitters and slips,and I rear back on the reins! No deal. Then, off into the trees goes this hard headed horse. He works hard to "wipe" me off the saddle. Finally, he halts, I go straight over his head, but I'm still firmly grasping the reins. I pull his head down,(can feel his breath,) an smack the daylights out of his nose! I brush off, limp back to the hard top to see Mike, who was in hot persuit. What about the horse, he asked me. Sorry 'bout that, Ch_ _ _ _ _ can come for him, let's get back to the BBQ! Jim RLTW

Message: I just wanted to verify the date and time of this year's open house at Camp Merrill. I would like to bring a our Civil Air Patrol group but needed to know the exact date and time. The Open House link doesn't appear to be working any longer.
