Bill Hallett was happy for all the fish he caught in a small bass pond. Kent Gilges was excited about the Casino Night at our District Conference next May, and is looking for people with ideas.
The All About Me member likes the color orange, Jack Nicholas, his first car was a VW, his first job was a paper boy, wishes to visit the Bible Land, and enjoys quiche, turned out to be our Dave Hutchings.
