They did indeed do a wonderful job. I've been to many of the states in the south eastern corridor: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana. But I've never had the opportunity to see South Carolina. I have an uncle who is huge history buff and I'd love to talk him into getting together a trip out there.

Mama_Bear hope yours is great too.

OH!

Learn something new every day!

[N. Theknow]

Citadel man, huh? When were you there? Did you ever go to the pier at Folly for the dancing? Eat at the Atlantic House? Escort the Ashley Hall Girls?

Class of '71 - Summerall Guard - Tango Company 4th Battalion.

I was at Folly Beach Pavilion when it settled 6 inches on its foundation during one Senior party extravaganza featuring The Coasters.

Atlantic House - raw oysters on the half shell.........

Escorted the Ashley Hall girls, danced with Ashley Hall girls, dated Ashley Hall girls, visited Ashley Hall girls on the "Bottry" when mingling with the SOB's (for the uninformed that might read this post, that refers to an area of Charleston "South of Broad Street" or SOB).

Thank you for the comments regarding my daughters. Both of them are C-Square alumna and still reside in Columbia with their husbands, my grandsons and granddog. To the boys I am grandpa, to the Pomeranian I am Grrrrandpa.

Thank you for the invitation to return. I do so fairly often and always try to make it to "El Cid" for a parade, and especially to watch the latest version of the Summerall Guards.

Another FReepMail just in........seems we must issue another hall pass to our Billie who has hurt her wrist and cannot be with us today!

i am typing with only one hand so please excuse punctuation......yesterday afternoon late, i sprained my left hand (i'm left-handed, so it couldn't have been my right of course.) it hurts.

so sorry i've been awol and still am.

Poor Billie. Get well soon, Sis!

Our louiewolf won't be here either as he is getting some much needed TLC and good cooking over at his aunt's for a couple days. I am hoping he will be back this weekend, fat and sassy and feeling much better. :-)

So, that will be just about enough absences for a while. Until further notice, there shall be no more hall passes issued. LOL

[Donaeus]

Hello jwfiv! :) God bless you too!

[dixie sass]

OH NO! Not Billie too! Sighhhhhhhh!

[Mama_Bear]

I think he missed it Lori.

LOL. Yep, I believe he did.

[Pippin]

Billie and Louie Get well soon!

We're gonn miss you aoo so hurry back!

Lori, looks like you're gonna be holding the for for a while!

[Donaeus]

"Ms Chamber of Commerce", always bragging, er, I mean talking about my hometown and state!

LOL It seems you haven't lost your touch.

[dixie sass]

I can just see him now, going back over the thread with a magnifying glass, tearing his hair out, chanting "where is it, where is it, where did they hide it!"

[dixie sass]

Wolfie, not aroooooooooooooooing around today? Is there a conspiracy to keep people - TTM, what have you been up to?

[Donaeus]

Wouldn't it? She always dressed to the nines, even when she's wearing Wranglers. That's what class does for ya!

I'll be lucky if I don't recycle something from a college banquet. Heheheh. Hmmm, maybe that's where I got my stingy frugal traits. I'm Scotch-Irish back there somewhere.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Colleen. Newest Sistah hugs to you! Who/what are the RiverDogs? A sports team mascot?

And, Dixie, what is a Hunley? Is that what is in that picture below? I have looked at it from all angles and still am not sure what it is.

[Mama_Bear]

Your driver is Mama Bear

Yikes.....I am driving that thing? I think I will stick to hostessing and handing out the refreshments....otherwise we could end up in one of those rivers you were talking about. LOL.

I need to take a break for a while. I will be back shortly to answer the rest of my pings. :-)

[Donaeus]

I agree Mama, no more hall passes. ;)

(((Billie))) Sorry to hear about your wrist hope it heals up quickly. Bromelain and Turmeric are good natural healers for bruises, sprains and strains. Get well and come back soon. :)

[MeekOneGOP]

Ha ! FOX News just now reports that Tom Harkin will be endorsing Howard Dean !

Go, Howard, go !!! haha !

Dykes for Dean

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, my ! First Lady's heat, now Billie's hand. Dang ! I'm stayin in the rest of the day ! haha !

Get well soon, Billie !

Another FReepMail just in........seems we must issue another hall pass to our Billie who has hurt her wrist and cannot be with us today!

Ahhh, Billie, I'm sorry about the wrist. :-(

At this time I'd like to issue an arm wrestling challenge......left handed.

Mama Bear, please stop reading you FReepMail. Nothing good ever comes from it!

[The Thin Man]

 I think he missed it Lori.

LOL. Yep, I believe he did.

I never miss anything, but out of curiosity what do you think I missed?

[Temple Owl]

And you'll probably see "Tank Hill" in the background. I can still remember the chigger bites.
