Clark" Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Speaking of "Firsts" ... --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "James E. Clark" Len posted a message about Larry having the first post on the new SouthEast forum on Doug Reeves vansairforce.net site. I replied there but thought I would share my reply with the larger group here in case you have not made it over there yet ... A good time was had by all I think (especially with Ed's adventure turning out just fine). A good practice session was had (actually multiple sessions). James ----------- Len, I *think* that Larry was "replying" to an "earlier" post! James ... Speaking of "Firsts" .. I saw on the front page a posting of the first RV gathering of the year on January 2!!! We are slipping man. We met on January 1 ... the big day .. and some of us had the blackeyed peas/greens/cornbread at the outing. Not to mention the practice (got a couple of pictures) and we forgot(??) to send Doug a note. We're slipping Len, we're slipping.
