Thanks Rick,
Would like to attend but recalling the words of the philosopher, Democritus: "The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion." My time is over and that's a good thing.

Tell us about yourself
Well, I spent 4 years in the Marines, traveled around the world once. Fought in the desert during Desert Storm, and got out as a Sergeant. I was accredited by the National Teachers Association as a Country/Western Partner and Line Dance Instructor in 1994. I worked for a short time in the Masonry Supply Business and then got on at the Postal Service in 1995, in South Carolina. I have transferred through the Postal Service across several states and I now live in Calhoun, MO and work in Clinton, MO about 12 miles away. I am divorced with three beautiful children, 2 girls and a boy , ages 10, 9, and 7. I am Boy Scouts of America Volunteer, a Merit Badge Counselor for 4 merit Badges, the Den Leader of my Son's Wolf Cub Den (Cub Scouts), the Assistant Cub Master of the Pack, the Family Friends of Scouting Lone Bear District Chairman, Post Newsletter Editor, Honor Guard Member, Sr Vice Commander of my Post 2009-10, and Sr Vice Commander of the VFW MO's 6th District 2009-10. That's my life in a nutshell.

I also spent time as a cub/boy scout leader. I also spent many summers being a little league coach both for my kids and my grandkids when no one else would step up.

Great profile! We have a bit in common. I was Navy, Fifteen years a Scoutmaster. Only Four [4] made it to Star. My training must have been more severe. However, of the four - they became Police Chief; Fire Dept., Chief; Rotarians & Founders of the Boy's Club in my town.
Willingly will call you friend!
Rick, I talked with Mike this AM and we are going to the Knobnoster meeting on Friday evening. Would you like to go with us? Let me know; we'll meet at Wal-Mart parking lot @1830 ........I'll drive .........Jake
Great meeting last night Rick. Congratulations on having such an active, committed membership. You appear to be the main driving force behind most of the activities. The report was on its way before we left Clinton. I have a scanner here at home and will start using it......ddduuuuuuuhhhhh, Jake

Glad I could make it here. I am hopeful that this will be a good place for all men's auxiliary members to come and share ideas.
