USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ Letter to the Military Lurkers ~ November 12th,2002
68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub and FRiends of the Canteen

Posted on 11/12/2002 6:31:56 AM PST by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub

Dear Military Lurkers

As you have now noticed there have been changes to the Canteen.
1st of all let me assure you that the Canteen is here to stay.
Due to circumstances beyond my control I have assumed the duty of running the Canteen.
I could not even begin to explain what happened on this or on any other thread.
HOWEVER feel free to e-mail me at seaside611@hotmail.com with any questions.

It is my intention to keep the original purpose of the Canteen on track.
That purpose is to show our support for the military, their families and veterans.
Please be assured that we stand firmly behind you.
May God Bless and Protect you, my Brothers and Sisters.

...everybody on my route drove slowly and carefully.

Aww, Man! What fun is that?

Howdy, HiJinx!

Long time since I posted to you on this thread. Right now I can't post as often as I used to as I am in the process of moving out of my old apartment (hopefully) and going to a new location in Maryland.

I wanted to wish you a happy Veterans Day and thank for your service to our country.

I'll try posting a commentary at least once a week on the canteen for the troops and for the lurkers and regular posters here, but my posting time is somewhat restricted, like I told them on Billie's thread.

May God bless you and your family.

The freeper formerly known as ClaraSuzanne, LOL!!

Yo, Seven! Good to see you, and thanks again for your report from the Middle East. We always enjoy your "to the point" commentary, too!

"Ugly, ugly drive to work. The whole city is a sheet of ice. FORTUNATELY, which is not always the case, everybody on my route drove slowly and carefully. Sliding at all intersections. A white knuckle drive."

Good thing studded tires are legal in Alaska! (I guess...unless some twit has outlawed them by now...) The best combination we found was a HEAVY 1978 Cadillac El Dorado with front-wheel drive. Studded tires on the front?? You betcha! That puppy could climb walls.

Why thank you, Pippin!
Are you staying in Glen Burnie, or moving back into the city? I know if I had my 'druthers in your shoes, I'd probably stay somewhere outside Baltimore proper....!

It's not in Baltimore neither is it in Glen Burnie. It's in a town just north of Glen Burnie, still in Anne Arundle County, called Linthicum.

Oh no, tom, I know I'm tired, but I walked right past my tank in the garage. Good grief that would have helped.

Thank you for taking over the immense task of running the Canteen. I agree with you - the Canteen should be a 'negative free zone' and a place of peace and relaxation for all who enter here. Have a good day.

Oh, well, Linthicum is nice, too.

Hope things are well with you! It's lunch time here, time to run some errands. BBL.
