The Visit, Day Three
Last full day of the visit, took a little trip out to the Base of Knowledge, lovely Camp Mackall.
Started at Camp Rowe, by the Rock.

I didn't know they named it after him. Very fitting. RIP Sir.

While there I told Chris and TR that I'd done a project for Col. Nick Rowe in 1984. That meant something to stand where he is honored. Must have been the humidity, my eyes started sweating a little bit.

Around the time TR made that pic a bolt of cloud sparks lit up a tree a couple hundred yards (at the most) past the guy walking. Nice special effects you have available there...

You looking for a point of contact at Paraclete?

All I can do is to hook you up with their Business Manager. He is a former SF Detachment Commander who I know.
