How awesome fatman66! Please send your brother our very best & thank him for his service to our country!
To join the Chapter just go to the Main Forums page - scroll down to the NY Chapter & click that link. It's that easy! Joining the Chapter is free. Hopefully you'll also join Club FTE & get the full benefits of being a site member!
Don't worry about the meeting - there will be others. I also go to Rochester as often as I can on the weekends to help my Mom - she's elderly & not in the best health. Maybe 1 weekend we can meet out there too ok?
Have a safe & wonderful trip! See you when you get back!
