... that holiday was not listed on the 3 calendars I used to get the holidays for today...

Also missing from the calendar is the 45th anniversary of a certain toe-headed 18 year old's Navy enlistment. I'm sure it was in all the papers waaaay back when. :)

Now I feel really old.

...and speaking of old Navy Vets, Our church has planned a fantastic Veteran's Day program at the two morning services on Nov 9th.

Here's just one item from the agenda... A choir of Vets will be singing "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" and "Mansions of the Lord". So far, 50+ vets have signed up for the choir. I've been practicing the bass part. Don't have the musical score, I'm just trying to pull the part out of recordings I've been listening to. Probably wouldn't do me any good to have the score, cuz my eyes go all fuzzy singing the songs.

Well, I can certainly understand why it would make the papers!

I was sure that was just a typo, until I looked it up and saw that some people indeed have spelled it "toe" - I always thought of it as "tow-headed". Appears it's one of those spelled both ways. :)

At any rate, a Happy 45th Anniversary to you and Thank you for serving!
