Re: THE SOUND OF SILENCE

You will love the Ocala area. However is very busy and congested. Have you considered the Panhandle, the North Florida area or the Keys? Anyway, welcome to the Sunshine State where even the dead can cast a vote and elections are stolen.
By the way, this forum could get very loud sometimes. LOL LOL> Welcome to Florida, hope it all goes well

Re: THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Mr Gene , I went to school after you and was a permanent member of the slab. As you can see your last name was elimiated as I didn't write it down before I wrote this. I hope your new home in Ocala Fl is still standing after the resent Hurricane Season? As for the ghost of Co. B, I lived there too in my years at RMA. I never understood the Ghost stories. Fact of fiction? As for your scout duties, well my son was in scouting for a number of years and I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed RMA> Unforateunately, I never made it up the ranks like you did, like RMA and the armed services I was lucky to get out. Scouting was a big part of my son's development and its a great Organization. My Hats off to you sir for your continued service... Rick Karpes 64'
