Count Me In
 

Lance,

Please count me and my Carrier in.

I have been to a number of events with these fine folks and they always have treated me right.


Stewart

(Charlie's friend with the other Carrier at Windsor, Ottawa and Niagara-on-the-Lake)

Great.
 

Good to hear Stewart, we were counting on you coming.
Are you bringing your new toy as well?

Lance

Toys
 

Lance,

I certainly do plan on bringing all of the stuff to this event.

I have been very pleasantly surprised on how much interest is shown by the public when the secret stash comes out. It gets folks thinking about the contributions of those that served this country.
