Overdue Thanks You

 
Bill!!

It is my honor to have been of service to you and those Scouts…I’m happy to be back on Scouts-L (probably the discussion group you speak of; I’ve returned there after a three-year absence…couldn’t get the connectivity to work in a reliable manner) and also to be around on LinkenIn’s Scouting discussion area too. 

You’ve made my day today, Bill…thanks!!

Mike,

   Very long ago (’93) in a galaxy very far away (somewhere that understood only command line communication) … I was a lerker in a discussion group for scouters that you ran.

   I did a troop haih adventure trip to Seabase and on the way down had issues with the arrangement for the homeward trip’s place to stay.  Since you had talk all the time about scouts staying on military bases, I called you (as absolutely out of the blue as this note is I am sure).  And you arranged a stay at the airbase at Cape Canaveral.  

   While I probably actually thanked you at the time, on running acrossed you again on linked-in ‘s BSA Adult Volunteers, I wish to thank you again.  Know that there is a small group of scouts (now 30 -35 years old) who still talk about how neat it was to camp at Cape Canaveral.

   I need not say keep up the good work, cause you obviously are,

YIS,

About Mike Walton

Take your standard Oliver North. Add strong parts of Bill Cosby and Sir Robert Baden-Powell (the founder of Scouting). Throw in Johny Bravo without the "hurhhs!" and his pecks. Add a strong dose of parenting, the sexuality of a latin lover, and Mona Lisa's smile. And a 40 year old's body frame. That's me basically *grinning*
