Winchester, for us true ODSS fans has become our Superbowl, World Series, Graduation ceremony etc. of every year. Those who can make it renew old friendships, trade parts and advice, and meet new like minded truck enthusiasts. I know I am not the only ODSS guy that feels this way.
Those that can't make it for various reasons are missed and their absence is completely understood.
One of the best moments for me is being welcomed into the camp by CC Billy Marlow, Artie, and Mike Roach who early on formed the die cast Homecoming Corral that we ALL are welcomed into EVERY year. I hope they know how great this feels and that their efforts are so appreciated. Our Corral has become a must-stop for other camps to visit and a source of much pride and joy!
Darn, I feel a tear welling up in this old Shellback's one good eye, the one without the patch, AARRRRRRRGH!!!
ODSS forever!!!
