Long story: dad decided to
drive us to Seward, Alaska in 1952, which started a long sister
city relationship and he put up this sign. Note the .22 hits

but these guys didn't get the memo. Neither did anyone else as
practically every float was tossing Tootsie Rolls (one of the basic
food groups) and bubble-gum. |
I love it! I'm an old Eagle Scout and damn proud of it and it's
good to see a part of the country that still values that. |
