Very nice, and a great idea.

Kevin was a member of Squadron 47, Florida Detachment of the Sons of the American Legion. This past Saturday, at The American Legion, District 11 Constitutional Convention, we honored Kevin at the Post Everlasting ceremony. Thank you Commander Smith (KM4RYM).

"Post Everlasting is the final destination within the American Legion where our departed comrades transfer to when they are called for duty by the Supreme Commander. We salute our departed Post members and thank them for their contribution and service to our Country, Community, and Post."

Thanks for honoring Kevin. Myself and Kevin's family deeply appreciated everything everyone is doing in remembrance of Kevin.

My wife Michele ordered Chinese food for dinner and I ate once I got home from the WPBARG Meeting tonight.
After eating my dinner and cleaning up. I seen a fortune cookie in the box the food was delivered in.
I ate the cookie and read the fortune.
Here is a picture of the actual fortune cookie:

You guys really did a great job! A ton of really cool stuff, and, as gracious hosts, you made sure we all weren't hungry or thirsty. That was wonderful, but what I enjoyed most was the visit... sitting around and chatting. Great people and great conversation always makes for a great time!

As much equipment that was sold, there's that much more. It's astonishing how much equipment Kevin had, and some really cool stuff, especially for folks who are interested in some of the older stuff. Perhaps that is an opportunity.

We probably would have sold out if we had ground rods, rubber boots and umbrellas for sale....during the typhoon! LOL
We had a customer revisit us this morning and he pretty much cleared us out.
Great times with great friends...we hope for more times like this in the future, just under different circumstances!
Thanks 73

Ha! The weather was ominous.

Under different circumstances for sure.
