You know, I forgot to make mention that on our trip to Branson, MO in October that at most of the shows they honor veterans. They play the songs of each branch and  they ask each veteran to stand while their branch of service song was being played. It was a real thrill for me, and I think for all those present, to be honored in that fashion. I think each branch had  representatives there…I was standing with the Air Force, several of us old coggers stood with the Air Force…Every branch was well represented….Well, that was nice…

One more note on Branson…After the evening show, we went to Steak and Shake for a little snack…..That’s a pretty good place…Try it after your next late show there…In trying to impress the boss, I ordered a low cal shake, well, that’s what I told the waitress..now I am not sure exactly what I got. And on that note, we drove on down to Eureka Springs and among other things, we rode through that beautiful town. There was this T-Shirt hanging out front of one of the stores that said, “Fat people don’t get kidnapped”….So, I was kind of thankful for that low cal milk shake….strawberry, thick and creamery….yum, yum….I’m ready to go back…. I didn’t get kidnapped either…..Pete
