I agree. I only made it to “Star” rank, but it was some of the best times of my life. Jimmy . You probably know of both the “Little River Canyon” and the HUGE “Jamboree” they had here each year out at Ft. McClennan right?? Those were my favorite camping times of the year. Now that I think about it, I am almost positive they had trout fishing at Little River canyon, which is less that 100 miles from me now. Mayne I should look it up and try to go on a trout fishing outing there. Chuck

Denny was one heck of a nice guy. I met him at Sow Bug and later invited him to spend a week with me at Philmont Scout Ranch fishing for rainbow trout in the Rayado, my favorite little river. Denny was my guest and all his expenses were waived because I put him on the Philmont Fishing Committee. All Denny had to do was pay his way to and from his home in Washington. He took the bus. I picked him up at 4:00 a.m. at the Raton, NM at an all night restaurant. Ugh! Denny wasn't aware of my ultimate purpose in getting him to Philmont, but Jeff Hines was. You see, Denny lost his Eagle Scoout badge back in 1941 but never said too much about it. Anyway Jeff let me know and I suggested we get another Eagle and re-present it during the week at Philmont. Jeff, who lives in Carrollton, TX and I got with National BSA and they checked it out and all was kosher, so they sent the Eagle Badge to me. I presented it to Denny at the opening banquet of the Fishing Invitational. Blew Denny totally away. It was a very moving experience for all of us, Denny was spechless.
