h20-50 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks Chief (cant see any stars in the photo) long time lurker on here finally had to register! My CC's were MKC Sikora and YN1 Howe, I believe I graduated Sept of 2005. Had a great time at cape may in between all the beat downs, still talk to a handful of guys in the company as well. That is the Douglas Munro statue you're standing in front of if I remember correctly!? 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 27, 2017 Super User Posted January 27, 2017 BMC is right. Not me, I had just left. I know R. Howe though - I ran a few rounds of PEP (now RAMP) with him a few times I think. Good Man. A-Jay 2 Quote
