BRAGS AND INFO
Last
week, Jim Eberlin came to talk to us/request money
to send WWII veterans, between 82 and 95 years
old, to Washington, DC, on what he's calling the
Freedom Flight. These vets will be taken (in
6 buses) to see the WWII memorial, the Viet Nam
Wall and and Korean Memorial, and Arlington and
Iwo Jima Memorial. There will be six
busloads, escorted by a sheriff's motorcycle
brigade, and met by a band (or two) in Cheyenne.
|
Every
WWII vet will receive a "beautiful cap" (see
picture) as a memento, a camera, a book and a
t-shirt, and a TON of memories! On the back
of the t-shirt it says "If you can read this in
English, thank a WWII vet". It takes
about $1,000 to send one vet to DC.
Obviously, this is outside the scope of what we
donate to from our club, but our esteemed prez has
suggested that we might be interested in donating
individually. Talk with E. Scott Billington
to find out how to. The Greeley Community
Foundation is handling the money, so I guess you
could always call them. These vets
are dying off at the rate of 1,200/day,
we're told, so don't put it off too long!

Mary
MacDonald took and posted 100 pictures at the
Installation recently. Many of these pics
are excellent!! I should have so much
talent. Anyway,

to see the pictures.
Dave
Blomberg bragged on "the two Bill colors", Brown
and Green, for putting together a successful
softball game between members. A 20% off
coupon to Bennigan's was awarded to both of them.
Except for an injury to an otherwise outstanding
outfielder, Carl Glaser, a fun time was had by
all, apparently. Bill Brown even wore his
original uniform, and told stories of the "good ol'
days.
Timmy Miller told us
about how Qualcomm announced recently that they
have just developed wireless airlink technology
transmission capabilities of 20MB speed in 5MHz
bandwidth!

MAKES ME PROUD
TO BE A TEXAN!!!!
Barack Obama, the
lead Presidential Democratic Party candidate,
is for banning all guns in America. He
is considered by those who have dealt with him
as a bit more than just a little
self-righteous.
At a recent rural elementary school
assembly in East Texas, he asked the audience
for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds,
holding the audience in total silence.
Then he said into the microphone,
'Children, every time I clap my hands
together,
a child in America dies from gun
violence.'
Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud
East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said
'Well, stop clapping!, dumb-ass!'

"Almost 21
years ago, Peggy Lee Hettrick's lifeless body
was found face-up and exposed in a Fort
Collins field, her fiery red hair fanned out
in the dirt around her, and her blue eyes open
to the sky. Despite a distinctive trail of
blood across the cold ground near Landings
Drive, her torso was pale, almost porcelain,
and free of obvious signs of blood. Only one
of her wounds was visible in the position in
which she was found: her left nipple was cut
cleanly off." ~
andra coberly, Fort Collins NOW
Last week, Larry Abrahamson talked to us about
"some of the things that we haven't read in
the paper", as well as everything else
concerning the Peggy Hettrick murder.
Larry did a masterful job (as well as a
PowerPoint presentation) of making an unbiased
presentation of the Master's case, from soup
to nuts. Did you know that there were 94
SUSPECTS in this case!??!
The murder occurred February 11, 1987, the
trial happened in 1999, and it began to be
reviewed
from 2006 - 2008, mainly because of DNA
evidence. Interestingly enough, the case
is still under investigation, and it seems as
though Timothy Masters is still a suspect in
the killing, as are others.
If you find this case interesting and missed
last week, you blew it!! |
Rob
Allerheiligen bragged on his son, who had his knee
"pretty much ripped off" in a motorcycle accident,
and his ankle broken. He then suffered some
complications, but is healing up pretty well, and
expects to go back to work in a couple of months.
Rob's second brag was that he was in CA the 2nd
and 3rd week of July, and Brad and Tennille told
him that they will present me with his fourth
grandchild. This will be the first for Brad. His
daughter, Laura, has three boys.
Ken
Borrett had a $43 brag today, 'cause he was
married for that long on August 7th! It was
mentioned that poor Kay probably wasn't
bragging about it!

BS
A guy walked into the
local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched straight up to the counter and
said, Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing
welfare. I'd really rather have a job.'
The social worker behind the counter said,
'Your timing is excellent. We just got a
job opening from a very wealthy old man who
wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his
beautiful daughter.
You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes,
and he'll supply all of your clothes.
Because of the long hours, meals will be
provided. You'll be expected to escort the
daughter on her overseas holiday trips and you
will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll
be provided a
two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The
salary is $200,000 a year.'
The guy, wide-eyed, said, 'You're bullshittin'
me!'
The social worker said, 'Yeah, well . . . .
you started it. |
Ed
Caffrey told us he thinks he did not have a
stroke this week. Apparently someone thought
that he might have. While waiting to be
discharged, he told us how a lady came in and had
two things to say to him: 1. Don't
Fall, and 2. Be Careful! He is working
diligently to follow her advice.
Ed has asked for some help in moving some boxes
into his new home.
There
will be a Board Meeting next Tuesday, the 12th of
August. As usual, it will be held at North
American Title, located on Boardwalk (although the
address is 712 Whaler's Way) and Sam's club.
The time is 5:30 - 7, and pizza and beer are the
usual fare provided.
Click HERE for a map.
Ken
Borrett bragged on his wife, Kay. For the
4th consecutive year, she has a painting entered
in the Rist Canyon Art Show, over Labor Day
weekend. The proceeds go to benefit the Rist
Canyon Volunteer Fire Department.

Your Most Embarrassing
Moment
Our scheduled speaker,
Dave Williams, did not show up . . . something
about a hangman's jury. But Lee Cooper
is not one to be unprepared. He picked
names from "the box", and, one by one, we were
asked to talk about our most embarrassing
moment or put a dollar into the pot, to be
given later to the winner.
This is ME, talking about freshman year at the
Univ. of TN. The winner, however,
was Gary Ross. His MEM was entitled
"Don't Pee On Me".

Dan
Kaup had a brag for Zach Wilson . . . apparently
Zach has recently pedaled his way across Iowa, and
managed to stay awake while doing it!
On August 24th, we
are selling beer at a Peace Corp event downtown.

THE AFFAIR
A married man was having an affair with his
secretary. One day they went to her place
and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they
fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM.
The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover
to take his shoes outside and rub them in
the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and
drove home.
'Where have you been?' his wife demanded.
'I can't lie to you,' he replied, 'I'm
having an affair with my secretary. We had
sex all afternoon.'
'You
lying bastard! You've been playing golf
again!'
