Bob C Photo Greetings!

We had a great time in the Upper Peninsula last week!  It was wonderful getting together with the brethren and their families.  Special thanks to Monte Oswald and Oswalds Bear Ranch, (the Grand Master made a new friend, see above) for opening their park to us, Eric Nyman for arranging Radio interviews in Escanaba, Travis Freeman for the same in Newberry and the Soo, and thanks to all who arranged and helped pull the trip together.  It really was a great time!
