The banquet started with the sound of the lunch bell ringing. Snag a fry was everywhere, with bag fry calls being made in the background. Even George Foret joined in the festivities. Everyone had to secure their own lunch; some went the extra mile breaking Scouting’s sacred rule: Parking at McDonald’s and going to Burger King!
          As the day progressed, people arrived like busy little bees and classes were their honey. With experienced teachers–greatness comparable to Benjamin Connel and Don Perry–and willing participants–especially those playing Jeopardy–fun was easily found at Mom and Jay’s craft table!
          Four-o’clock rolled around and stations started closing down in preparation

for his excellent service as Chapter Adviser. Following, NM Vice Chief Jason Goss congratulated many of our Arrowmen for earning the National Leadership in Service Award for 2005. Next TX Vice Chief Ben Connel was up awarding the Lou Duncan Service Award to Sean Gray, Matthew Ray, Mr. Dave Panko, and Mr. Harold Romike. Finally, the Founder’s Award was presented to Russell Folk and Matthew Ray.
          Ending the night was our Vigil Callout Ceremony where eight members were nominated to the Vigil Honor. We’d like to congratulate David DiRoma, Russell Folk, Mark Gouldsmith, Ian Stange, Ms. Merilee Daugherty, Mr. James Libbin, and Mr. Jack Peterson, Mr. Harold Romike.
