A SALUTE TO OLD FRIENDS
I’ve something to say, and I’ll speak it in rhyme:
I’ve belonged to quite a few clubs in my time
But one stands out, ’way above the rest –
The Angoras are the outfit that I liked best.
When hikers turned out, seeking real action,
That night they went home with full satisfaction;
Adventures and fellowship in that group were tops!
My recall of Oregon & Washington scenes never stops.
Yes, I’m so glad I was privileged to be a member –
And particularly now that my life’s “near December”.
– Ed Denny
