Well, Brian, I'm an old guy who doesn't like to wear reading glasses, so I use them big azzed fonts on my display. Rick

I am in for Sat. April 30th 12:00 at the cook house.

Spano,

I will be there at the cookhouse at noon on the 30th. My wife is not sure she wants to attend unless there will be some other spouse's or girl friends going as well.

I am interested in seeing if anybody is bringing a guest?

Hello Fellas,
I find it interesting to see you talking about the Samoa Cookhouse. I was born and raised there . One of my best friends at the Samoa school lived at the Cookhouse because his Dad ran the cookhouse in those days for the working men that lived in the bunk houses. Him and I often ate there amoung the men .My dad was a millwright at the sawmill and in the early days it was Hammond Lumber Co., later Georgia Pacific .I am trying to imagine where a rifle range would be within 3 minutes of the cookhouse . Awe the memories ,Jim

I might bring Boolitt Bob.

I asked The Wife if she would like to attend and she said, "I'd enjoy that about as much as you enjoy tea with my mother and us girls. You go fart and scratch and talk bullets and tell dirty, racist, filthy, sexist, homophopic jokes and have a good time. I'll be here when you get home."

Damn, I love that woman.

Howdy Jim,
My Grandpa used to eat at the Cookhouse on a regular basis too. That was back in the days before they put the highway around the bay, and you had to cross on a ferry. He worked for Georgia Pacific IIRC. I know my father did later.

If you are headed from Eureka and going north through Samoa to Arcata, the rifle range is just before you get to the mill and the railroad crossing. It's just a small place right off the beach.

Brian.

Damn, she's setting the bar high. I don't know if I know enough dirty, racist, filthy, sexist, homophobic jokes to meet her expectations.

Also, if any of you fart around me, I'll be obligated to rip your heart out with my bare hands. You have been warned.

Brian.

Brian ,
I have often read your post on the Fire and I hear you talk about places that are familiar to me . When my dad worked at the plant we lived in a company house one of 4 that were not in the Samoa village itself . The 4 houses were right where the bridge from Eureka touches down on the Samoa side . There used to be a railroad Roundhouse there. My stomping grounds.When I was in the lower grades at school the High School kids had to take the ferry to Eureka High School . The year before I finished grade 8 they started sending the high schoolers to Arcata . I was sure glad of that . It's good to here from home , Jim

Gun Buff---You would certainly be welcome and you don't even need directions.

Spano I'm getting a little too old . I would never make it on time and I think my arms would get a little tired flying from Australia . But I surely would like to be there ,Jim

Whooooooooooo boy, you sure made it a long ways from home!

I'm still living within 10 miles of the hospital I was born in. I guess I'm just not very ambitious.

Brian.

Not to worry, Mate, they have these things called areoplanes now. Save your arms and jump on one. Bring the Sheila with you. WB and I'll pick you up in my lorry at ACV and stand you a pint at the local.

Good on you and 'gday.---Spano

I just found this thread - Is it 12:00 on Saturday the 30th at the Cookhouse for certain.

Because I think I could make it then.

Heck, I will make it. Count me in.

Brian I was probably born at the same hospital as you , the General in Eureka ,altho probably a diferent day .
Spano my sheila is a Sharon that hails from Mckinleyville . By the way they do have good beer over here (buckets or pints).
I hope you all have a good get together and I will be thinking of you on the day . Jim

I'm not going. I've already been there.

That ... and it's a two day drive from my house.

I'm in.

Actually, I was born at the Mad River Hospital in Arcata. My old man though was born in the old General Hospital when it was in Henderson Center.


Brian.

See you there.
Frank

Spano,

Will be arriving in Eureka on Friday and staying at the Bayshore Best Western. Wife (aka Warden) wants to go shopping so I will be solo at the Cookhouse at noon on Saturday. Looking forward to putting faces with names.

I will be the one with my left arm raised most of the time (to save my watch and jewelry) because I expect the crap to be very deep if Brian (Wheelchairbandit) is up to his usual antics. Hope he brings pictures or better yet dancing girls because I will have a fist full of singles for a lap dance. Yeeee Haaawww
