Funny you should mention rubbing off. Well the Rotters Meeting at Gracies went off without a hitch. We had eight hardcore Rotters show up for a fun night. Tonight was "Hat Night" where the local Rotters received their personalized chapeaus. I presented Bob Carriere with a cheque for $150.00 which represented the hat donations to date for Bob's BBQ No 2 this summer. Bob was speechless (momentarily), but managed to thank the mob for their donations. As a note, three tan hats remain for sale - $30.00 gets you an original Rotters baseball style hat with custom embroidery and contributes to BB2.

Gunner once again provided a slideshow of his African and British adventures. This trip saw Mike wrapping up his Polstens for shipping back home. Next trip may involve even more repatriation of Canadian wartime goodies, but I will leave that story for Mike to expand upon when the time is right.

Jif, we saw Jesse tonight. She was looking splendid modelling your Rotters hat. Our waitress du jour was Bonnie, who tolerated us in the best Gracies tradition.

Wild Bill joined us in spirit thanks to some of Alex's magic. All will be explained with photos that follow.

Future Gracies Calls will include briefings (TBC) on Iltis Canadian,
45 HUPs, C15s, Windsor Carriers, and updates on BB2. Plenty of notice will be given of upcoming calls, so you will have lots of time to plan on joining us.
