Don; That was a nasty response. I am 75 and can't walk that well. I did my duty and I do not like your and I will say this shitty attitude. I have been to OTR and so what if it has a different name now. I call it OTR because I am old and senile and will die soon. So you can keep doing what you do and I will enjoy the comrades and forego the food.
