Good Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope you were able to enjoy the time with your family and friends?

For our December 5^th meeting we will be having a guest speaker. He is Mark Houck. Mark is challenging Brian Fitzpatrick for the congressional District 01. If I remember correctly Fitzpatrick did come to speak to us when he was challenging then incumbent. Have we seen him since?

Please give some thought to questions to ask him to see if he differs from our current representative?

 On a personal opinion. The Saturday deer opener just isn’t working for me. A lot of us need to leave for camp Thanksgiving day or very early Friday morning to get chores done at camp and be sure no ash trees came down across our shooting lanes. Maybe it is just me but it just seems so stinking rushed? I guess it could be my advanced years as I slow down? The only time we get to spend with each other in camp, to embellish the stories from last year is 5am in the morning and 6 to 9 in the evening.   

At camp a couple of days ago we had a medical emergency by one of the guys in camp. Fortunately all worked out well for him. But it did involve a rather frantic 20 minute truck drive to meet the ambulance on the side of the road part way to the hospital so they could take him the rest of the way. Bad things can happen at camp! Please be sure everyone knows some of the basics for temporary medical care. And be sure everyone knows where the closest Urgent Care and hospital are located. When an emergency does happen… that is not the time to try and figure out what direction you need to drive.

Since this is my last article before the next holiday I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas.
