Ittawamba Leaves

I have been an OA member since 1970  ...  yes, since before most of you were born.  I was selected as a Vigil member this year, the event that I consider the greatest honor I could receive in Scouting.

My older son, Spencer is a Brotherhood member in Ahoaltan Nachpikin Lodge and my dad, Leonard, is a Vigil member here in Ittawamba.  My younger son, George, is in kindergarten, so I guess I'll start Cub Scouts over again next year.  I have already started a patch collection for George in anticipation of his Scouting future.

In Scouting, I am the Adviser for Crew 235, the ceremonies team from Shiloh District.  I also have the opportunity to serve as Chapter Adviser for Shiloh Chapter.

I figure that, in most ways, I'm the luckiest guy in the world.  I get to do the things I love in Scouting.  I have the best job in the world.  I have 2 sons that love Scouting and want to do Scout stuff with me. And I have a wife (Wendy) that I love dearly and lets me do Scout things.  What more could a guy ask for?  OK, maybe an F1 in mint condition.

December 27.  I have to amend the profile information.  Got the F1 (looks mint to me) from the wife as a belated anniversary gift.  Does it get any better?
