Anyway Thank you all for you hard work out there, it was one of our best. Could have had some more Fusiliers out there guys, please try to make the next event, we were out numbered 3 to 1 on Saturday.
Happy Birthday to Caitlyn Blair of the Nighswonger clan. That was great you brought your friend out , Kristen. Many others brought out new people to.
Some of those who survived the Reagan weekend, Thank you all for working so hard.
