p.s.-I think Ken and I will pick up some disposable cameras to give the veterans to take pictures with. I think we can find them at our local dollar store.

I've got a few cameras too, along with back scratchers, books (a bunch), a dozen deck of cards, dice, new board games, and of course the glasses. I wish we had more room.

Scratch Dannie from the VA run.. So whatever the count is, make it -1..

We will miss Dannie but I can understand his excitement with the Kings. I'm sure his spot will be taken up by someone that's not posted here but still wants to be part of this awesome event.
