Last weekend, October 12/13, 2013, I had the pleasure of going to Bob and Deb's home where they hosted an Appleseed for three divisions of Sea Cadets. They allowed us to take over their home range. They opened their modern pole barn to all of us, where they feed us supper Saturday night and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. And I'm not talking fast food, or easy fixins. Deb cooked and cooked very well all three meals.
They provided the Sea Cadets with multiple loaner rifles from their own gun safes. Bob, Deb, Deb's son (I didn't catch his name) and Trey, along with another very sweet lady, which I think was Deb's Mom were always checking on us. They bent over backwards to make sure we weren't in need of anything.
The Sea Cadets camped on their property, had a bonfire, played flashlight tag, played cards in the pole barn or worked on paracord braiding and even did PT at 5:30 in the morning out in the yard. Bob and Deb are truly making a difference in a lot of young men and women's lives. Thank you for your generousity and hospitality. You are really good people.
I would especially like to thank Deb's son and Trey. I had been assembling my very first AR last week and ran into some problems with the take down pin. I had it with me because another Appleseed instructor was going to help me with it on Sunday. I mentioned it to Deb on Saturday night and before I knew it, both of these young men had come out to the pole barn. They listened while I explained the problem I was having with the pin, instead of just taking the rifle, figuring they knew more than what an ole lady did. They helped me diagnois the problem and gave me the part to fix it, refusing to let me pay for it. That meant so much to me because I really want to be able to shoot my new AR at the instructor's KD this coming weekend. If it hadn't been for them, I'm not sure I would be.
Thanks again Bob and Deb for all you do for the Sea Cadets and the Appleseed Program.
