airports.

prefer the Leader because I know about it. If I am working on
something I know nothing about, like planting flowers, I prefer No
Role, so that I can sit back, listen and learn.

report on what I had seen. I have been a member of ARES (Amateur
Radio Emergency Services) for 36 years, which is a a storm
chasers group. We have chased hurricanes, tonradoes, floods, etc.

Asheville. Danny Thomas built the hospital so long ago. I
currently donate $50 monthly to this organization because they have
done things for so many kids for a very long time.

grade math teacher and she was 5'2" and 350 lbs. She proved to me

you could make it and be something. She also smacked the piss out
of me and made me walk the line.

CFReNews: If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?

CFReNews: What is the best thing you like about CFR? What's the least?
Mike: The best thing about CFR is the
membership/members, the people. The least thing is people with
personal agendas against other people at CFR, CFR as a whole or both.

Vicki for allowing us to share a fun-filled evening with them. We
had many laughs with great friends, which reminds me, that's what CFR

CFR, a club you truly love.
