| Comments: Line Shack with Witt, Hendrix, Squirrel, Buddha, Santana, Beaver, and a bunch of other great characters. We used to drive Dotter and Smithy crazy with our antics. Good times-- I got into a lil trouble being UA when I was chasing girls around town. I'm glad my Chef (can't remember his name but he had a Harley and wore rose colored glasses) and Commander Vaunn, and then Commander Knutson who took the time since it straightened me out and made me grow up. I'm still hanging with with Witt-- he's like a bad rash hard to get rid of. I'm a teacher now and tell my kids all about my time with the Maces, whenever they say they are over worked-- they have no idea. Feel free to contact me if you wish to shoot the breeze. |

What about the day of the air show wita 100 planes in the air surrounding the bear? |
