Ashleigh’s 17th in Myrtle Beach
April 19th, 2007
Wednesday, March 21st was a special day for us in Myrtle Beach. It was Ashleigh’s 17th birthday. I still am in shock that I now have a daughter old enough to legally get into rated R movies!

The 1990 Sons of the Desert Convention was held in fiery Clearwater, Florida in the dead center of the summer – Thursday, July 12 thru Sunday, July 15. When this convention rolled around, I had kind of drifted from the L&H ‘scene,’ having not attended any meetings of our local Springfield tent lately – mainly because Carl hadn’t had any. Neither had I produced any more newsletters from this tent and I hadn’t yet started my own tent. I had even begun to lose touch with my friend Bob Satterfield.
