[at-l] Remembrance of Past Rucks, was Re: Orangebug

[Kyvcat at aol.com]

I remember that RUCK too. John and I still have our pot cozies -- and the 
recipe for the soup. Yum. I remember the cops coming too. They didn't like 
much about us (us RUCKsters, I mean). Not the parking, not the crowd, not the 
luminaries -- probably wouldn't have liked the alcohol if they'd known about 
it. ;-) Fun time though.

We're sorry the RUCK has moved just far enough further away that it's out 
of our comfort zone to come. The drive is just too long. Sure have some good 
memories though.

BTW, a picture of Lee I. Joe came up on the computer today from the RUCK at 
Goose Creek. Seems like that was when we Tuckerized Clyde's pack and the 
Sunnies brought Tiramisu. Oh, and OB brought his boxers.
