I don't understand. The way I read his post he didn't say anything about the
The Red Ball Rally and clearly(Well, clear to some) said it was the MRCA
canceled without notice. At least that the way it reads in Georgia. So why
is he getting beat-up like this. But the more curious question is how come
no one knew about the other show?? Two military shows the same weekend in
the same town. Note: granddaughter is starting her first day of basis
training at Fort Leonard Wood Mo. tomorrow. She is going to have a altitude
adjustment. WooHah! Wayne
