Default Late March snow

Did not expect 15 inches of snow this late in the season but up here you never know must have been in the bullseye folks 30 miles away only got 5-6 inches Will try to get out tomorrow to send the 16 trojan to Brian it is in a wooden box I built will ship USPS since UPS will not be able to get up the drive for a while! I am going to turn over this broken stock to Eastern and let them sort it out, Gary

If you want to make unusual ice cream, check this out - Memories of a WWII fighter pilot

Pour yourself a tall one, and marvel at one of the greatest generation. The ice cream story starts at the 10:12 segment

What a great old warrior he was and his "tuti-fruti" ice cream story is pretty cool.

I can relate very well with your late March snow Gary.

When will the 1967 to 1969 veterans like myself be known as "The Greatest Generation" or some similar terminology? What about the present day soldiers who serve tour after tour with no end in sight? What will they call these guys? At least the 67 to 69 guys were out of there after 12 or 13 months, and the WW2 guys actually saw an end to their struggle. What's up with the present day warriors who see no end? End of rant.

Bill, i think we know the answers to those questions. Those who served then and who went to Southeast Asia came home to a different America... if they came home alive. They came to our airports to be met by throngs of 'protesters' who spit on them and chanted slogans like "baby killer" and "rapist" and so on. Protesters like those of the past few days who even now continue to direct their protests not at the cause and root of the problem, but at the visible or material object, not at the cause.

I think we will have to be satisfied to be known as the unfortunate pawns of a huge political machine.

Dean - cass of '66

Spot on Dean. On the other side of the coin last christmas i received a card with a 100 dollar bill from anonymous thanking me for serving[ 66-69]. Took the card to the local veterans agent and he told me that a local family got the names of vets from him and been doing it for a few years. He would not tell me who they were, i sent a thank you to the p.0. box return address and donated the money to the vets fund. There are some who care more than we know.
