Hey Gary,
Thanks for the libations!
I can't crank on them north Florida boys as I was born and raised one, lol. Although momma raised me right hehehehe.
There used to be a restaurant on the North side of Jacksonville that had the best seafood around. Their seafood was brought in freshly caught everyday, none of that frozen, pre-packaged junk. To top it off you could go there in the evenings and they'd fix you a big plate of those cheese grits with whatever seafood caught yer fancy, cat head biscuits, and a bottomless glass of sweet tea! Lord, that place was good! Panama's was the name of the restaurant. Unfortunately they went out of business a few years before I left Jacksonville in July of 2000.
Interestingly enough, it was my aunt down in Winter Haven that got me hooked on having cheese in my grits. Mom never made them that way because my Dad just wanted them with butter only, lol. Well we was visiting my aunt Stella and her family one year and I woke on this particular Saturday morning to fresh caught, deep fried mullet fillets, cheese grits, and hush puppies, great day in the morning that was good stuff. I've been addicted since. [:D]
Scott, if I remember right Roger had some personal things to take care of when he stepped away. Sadly, that's the last I've heard of him. he could crack me up though. [:)]
Trevor Bramley was my instructor at VMI and I was assigned to his Black Labrador Cavalry Division right out of VMI. If memory serves me well he was having some serious health issues forcing him to step away from the club. Cool thing is, his old website is still up, unreal huh? Check it out

Speaking of our old stomping buddies, Lloyd Cole just came over to the AoG to help us out a bit. He brought over some squeezins' that was somethin' else. It literally put hair on yer backside! Not a pretty sight let me tell you. [:p] Fortunately, we was able to keep Nick from showing us all his new growth of hair. [:D] Talk about a close call, whew![;)]
