Mystery Hand shaker-    Terry Hargrove

Happy Dollars   Donna for the 164^th Annual meeting of the Township ,  Hargrove saw spring coming as he traveled back thru southern Illinois,  Thoma for poker and a chance to take Sweeneys money,  and yours truly for finding a lost rain coat safe and sound in my golf bag.

Fun & Frolics  Brian Thoma used the history of The Masters as a basis to fine all with interesting  golf questions.

Program  Video shown on a speech by Brigadier General Steve Ritchie  on the Vietnam Rescue of  Roger Locher and preserving our values of freedom.  A very inspiring story of a Pilot that was shot down and mia for 21 days. When Locher finally radioed for help the military spent 3 days and dedicated all of its resources in a heroic rescue behind enemy lines.
