My nephew made Eagle. Now a brilliant Mechanical Engineer.

I only made it to Star. Grew up in Jersey City so my group was naturally named the Rat Patrol.

But I am a member of The Order of The Arrow. That was an interesting induction at the age of fifteen. Blindfolded,led into the woods. Left with an empty coffee can, an egg, an orange and 1 wooden stick match. Probably be considered child abuse today.

Of course that was 47 years ago. I'm surprised I still remember this. Someone did something right by me. I still remember the name my Scoutmaster.

I am a Lifer.

Only made Life Rank because of the 3 deadly sins; Cars, Girls, and a job to support the first two sins, hehehe
