V.G.C.A NEWS AUGUST '99
Membership Meeting
Hopefully, you remembered that the meeting starts at 7 PM this time
rather than at 7:30 ass last month. The date is the 26th at
the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax. The program will be Harry Hunter's
presentation. Mr. Hunter is the curator of the Smithsonian's Museum of
American History. Should be great so come early and grab some chow and
enjoy the evening. This is another joint VGCA-NRA affair. Last time we
did this we had upwards of 90 members and guests. (Ed Wages--better
get lots of food!). Feel free to take photos and if you give them to
me, we can have Larry put them on the new web page.
Upcoming Show
We need to distribute fliers this time so take some with you when
you leave the meeting. We will need help on setting up on Friday the
17th. If you can lend a hand, arrive about noon or so and
Jim Burgess will find work for you. Lunch is provided for those who
help.
Everyone needs t help getting every gun tied on the tables. Keep
ties with you--Ed Costello has lots of them. Ask that every gun be
tied. We will need help at the door. We really need to check the
incoming arms to see they are empty. Also, since Mo will be out, we
will need help judging. (See me if you can help). Clean up must be
done on Sunday at 4. So see Gary Holderman, me Jim Burgess, Ed Johnson
and lend us a hand. Should be a great time, as usual.
Welcome to Some New Members
Please make Craig Sandler, Marc Gorelick, and Bill Haller feel
welcome. Photo ID badges will be made as usual at the show. Settle up
with Ed Costello with your dues. His table is at the right hand back
corner to the right of the stage.
Col. Grier Checked In From
Scotland
Col. Grier is still up to his old tricks over there. He reported
that he just rebarreled a .55 Boys AT Rifle down to a .50. He did not
report how many rodents or politicians he has shot at. He also
provided a local cartoon to give you a take on the Scots' views of gun
control.
Lee Turner Continues to Heal
Lee reported that despite the advances of modern medicine and
surgery, he continues to get better. Just proves that you can't keep
an old submariner down too long. Eventually they come up for air. I
hope he does not decide to start flying again.
Not too much else to report right now. Hope you can make the
meeting on 26th
