Dave Booher!!! Nice to hear from you. Woody here! 78-79. (Last half of 79 only, as I worked a "real" job the first half). Our time period is trickling in...
Any memories of the sauna people can share? I was reminded of the Fire and Brimstone group the other day and was wondering if anyone has other stories to...
Being a member of the Fire and Brimstone group, I was always fond of teasing the wimps who would sit next to the door with their faces covered with their ...
