Missing DSC 2019
With regrets I will miss my 14th year in a row of DSC convention. How I have grown to enjoy it and meet AR friends both old and new.

He was a naval aviator at the end of WWII.
My father-in-law passed away yesterday and there is work to be done.


Regards,


Mike aka Retreever...

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Cherie’s Dad was a very kind, gentle man that Joyce & I grew to love just like our own dad. He was one of the smartest men that I have ever met, and I mourn his loss. I loved spending time with him, and we will miss him greatly. God bless you, Dad, from Joyce & Frank.
