ABYC continues to surprise me and the amazing way we accommodate our members. I just got notice, that we have some potatoes, carrots and cabbage being cooked in vegetable broth for those designing a non-meat option for Friday night's dinner. Of course those who savor that corned beef will have their fair share too. And we have that green pesto pasta ... OMG and the soda bread! Talk about yummy!
Chuck's presentation is really going to be spectacular Friday evening. If you haven't yet made your reservation, make sure you CALL IN ASAP, as our spots are going quickly.
In closing, here's one of the quotes from his book I found intriguing:
"One afternoon, Canby was called upon to consult with Jack Poirier" (mission Security Chief),..."he told Canby that he and his officers had been working out a procedure for classified material that would accumulate during the trip... These things were too risky to store, since they'd give away everything if the Soviets were to board the ship. The policy, then, would be to dump most of the paper overboard every day, by stuffing it into weighted wire baskets designed specifically to sink. But officers couldn't throw away everything. Poirier asked Canby to help design a place to store a few key documents...He wanted a large and impenetrable safe that could be padlocked. Canby listened patiently to the instructions and then told Poirier that this was a terrible idea. ... Instead Canby said, he'd build them a secret tube, a fourteen-inch 'magic pipe'..."
