N-PAC BBQ

[Atwood, Mark]

Storm???  Seriously...I remember the catfish...I can remember the whole layout...but storm??  I remember the perilous climb UP the mountain...NO recollection of the storm on the way home...
 
Singing...I do recall the singing...

I was on your bus Ron! Hmmm, Best I can remember! I remember a lot of
singing and such! I don't remember much of a storm so I must have been on
your bus! Great Time! I still think Mike D  had something to do with the
lemonade and Jack on the table!!!!
