Today, I attending an Eagle Scout ceremony with my son. The young man invited Congressman Jimmy Duncan, state senator Raymond Finney, and state representative Doug Overby. While each of them gave fitting comments for the occasion, the best and most enthusiastic words came from Dean Moss, long time scout master of Troop 81. He talked to this new Eagle Scout about things to pack with him along his trip in life and told him that the journey had started now, not ended. It had been 31 years since I had attended an Eagle Scout ceremony which was my own on June 6, 1976 (my 14th birthday). Lots of great memories came back to me that I hadn’t thought about since that day. I still have the letters written to me by Congressman Don Fuqua and other dignitaries who took the time to share their support. I’d write more but I have a REAL letter to write. To a young man who is flying high today…like Eagles should.
