just a running joke between the flight service and the guides Mark

mainly perpertrated by the son of the guy that owned the flying service.

he was heard to refrain that his proudest accomplishment was "getting all you guides outa those damn hip boots and into chest waders"

course we gave it right back to him "so daddy never could teach you how to park that Goose heh Lester"

hip waders were on their gear list, but Lester always told them in town, "naaaah you don't need any hip waders, we'll get you to the beach high and dry"

changeover day, was always a nice change of pace, hurried activity for awhile but then pretty easy, waving bye to the departing hunters, greeting the new bunch, getting them licensed and fed and housed in their nylon Hilton for the week. Plus mail delivery.

in the early pre sat days, always nice to get letters from home and the occasional care package

was all in good fun.....mostly


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
