    Yesterday I escaped back out to the office to watch the 7:30 PM kickoff of my favorite college team. Apparently my wife doesn't appreciate all the yelling (and occasional cursing) I do when I am watching my Gamecocks play. But this also gave me a chance to kinda plan out my week and I'm excited to get back...Read More

    The lodge fellowship and reunion that I attended this weekend exceeded all expectations. We had so many people come out of the woodwork that it was unbelievable.

    As I've mentioned in the newsletter Russell Smart brought a great display to the Charlotte TOR - truly a museum quality display. I literally got to see the first adult Eagle medal ever presented (I think he was number 4) with what we sometimes call a drop ribbon. But if you missed it I recorded a video interview...Read More

    Does this describe any of you? You started out collecting your home lodge/camp/council. For a long time you only cared about those topics so you started accumulating dupes on those items and were happy to have them because after all you collected them exclusively. Over time other people called you when they were ready to cash out and...Read More

    Another Charlotte TOR in the books! The weather was great and we had a good event at the church. Some times an idea you pull out of your butt is a durn good one! So when we got the date from the church about 8 weeks ago I knew there would not be time to sell out all...Read More

    It's TOR week and my head is spinning with everything that has to happen over the next two days. Last night I visited the Scout troop at my church that is running the concessions for the event.
