We have a fellow (Kurt) who came several years and he has most of the pictures from last year. Gonna have to track him down. I loaded the rest that we had. Just need to add some titles. Here's the actual Homecoming page. I'm trying to figure out why my header won't push out 1100 pixels and I am stumped. You see that little fellow in the corner. You all better come.

I feel bad becasue I didn't drive a Stovebolt last year. I will try to bring the Grumman this year....need to do some work on it to get it ready, of course. And, I've never driven it that far before, so would need the "rescue squad" on call!

Hambone -- Of course you have the sight reserved. What do you want to look at? As for the site, sure we have 110 available ... I'll try not to aim the generator's muffler into your tent. Chris may have to join you up there, though, as Tent Site 2 currently has a compost pile on it ... Tent Site 3 (the Pistol Range) is currently unspoken for unless Joe wants his camper set up there

I'm coming solo so please add me to the list of attendees. I will also need a camp site, I'll be pitching a shelter half. I do not know the lay of the land so some high ground would be nice, in case it rains.

Inclement weather plan calls for tenters to move into the garage -- sortta like an open squad bay. We can probably get George to rattle the trash cans at 0430 to complete the experience, if you'd like

We'll have space in the one of the shops or in the walk-out basement for a cot if that would be more comfy. No one has called the woodshop yet so that is available if you want a little more space than the canvas cottage ... It's not fancy, just four walls and a roof and you get space for a cot in between the table saw and the blast cabinet. Just keep your comments to yourself about my organization ... Hambone/Sweet -- Bay two is open for Friday wrenching if HB and Jr want to tackle the Green Hornet. The Meadowbrook will be out on the line making Hambone's old room available
