Bull-pucky Mr.Hide-out Palaver'n POLECAT! I'm asking YOU to explain it anyway amigo, becuse YOU love me and *prefer me and my fellowship to *your comfort zone.

"Dead Horse" isn't that some hillbilly term? *O2 you sum "Hillbilly" who leaves a "Manure bucket out?" I'm start'n to see what Jonathan Trower was gett'n at with reguard to masking our identities. He didn't say it, but I will.. *I got you spoted as a snake in the grass.

I think the best "TRUTH" I heard was at NTC in reguard to the fact that Family was more important than ministry.. *Knowing that at the OUTSET might have helped.. but never the less it's true. I heard that from "Camp Co." at Donner Pass,Cal '96.. My situation is such that my FAMILY is all Royal Ranger. ALL ROYAL RANGER since 1962.. and we ain't one of those who want 'girls in Rangers"...folks. *Somewhere down the line someone lost sight of RESPECTING the service adult leaders render. *The respect is lost by the weakness we see in organizational skills and management of our Outposts.

Huff and Puff on... I know who *I am and what the History is, I ain't important or the issue. There's a lot of "missing in action" and the reasons are bogus..
