2000

Once again the awesome burden of serving as your esteemed (albeit

underpaid) founder weighs heavy upon these shoulders. Some of you have actually had

the temerity to ask, "So, where was The Call last year? How ever were we to know

where to go, what to do, and when? Well, tough rockos, Bonzo! Stop your pitiful whining

and listen up! So I had a bad year. But all that's behind us now, so shut up and pay

attention.

Despite insidious rumors as to the untimely demise of the fabled

(now for the seventh consecutive year!), keen insight and exemplary independent

investigative efforts on the part of Timothy P. Krikau (Southern Wisconsin - Racine

Chapter) have revealed that our treasured venue is still active, kicking, and ready to do

business. In addition to the hardy band of regular attendees and deviates, this year's

encampment is expected to be graced by two California members. They are none other

than Maj. Addison P. Tower (Southern California - Edwards AFB Chapter) and Ctzn.

Jeffery W. Hunt (Northern California - Petaluma Chapter), both of whom have been

absent from our annual soire since time immemorial. So, in anxious anticipation of the

sheer ecstasy that awaits,...

Shall convene at its namesake village on Thursday the 20th day of July 2000 at

approximately 6:00p.m. As in Years past, it shall be the sacred duty of the earliest

arrivals to secure the traditional, hallowed Ken-Ev Camping turf into which shall

(eventually) be implanted The Sacred Standard as evidence thereto.

In the unlikely (although, possible) event that Sheboygan County authorities have finally

gotten the goods on Ken-Ev Camping and seen fit to shut the hell hole down as a public

nuisance, this year's alternative locus shall be the Sheboygan Marsh County Park public

campground (located just a few miles northwest of Elkhart Lake on County J) the scene

of many previous encampments prior, even, to the halcyon days of LaBudde's Acres.

Indeed, some of our numbers' earliest and fondest Road America memories can be

traced to the shores of that sun-dappled, sylvan dell.

So, yet again, the invitation is open, the choice is yours. Lies will be told, gas will be

passed, and consciousness will be virtually nonexistent. Any so-called "member" who

chooses not to be present risks incurring the rath, instilling the ire, and fomenting the

outrage of the assembled active membership, thus risking possible ostracism and

banishment.
