[NSRCA-discussion] Eglin AFB Pattern Contest, 27-28 June

[Ronald Van Putte]

Only in the water.

Seriously, we haven’t had any sharks which caused problems in forever.    I’ve been here since 1972 and there haven’t been any since I’ve been here.  I did see some dolphins surface in a bayou shortly after I got here and thought they were sharks.  When I mentioned it, the locals laughed themselves silly.
