A Couple More Pics

I don't want to bore you but here are a couple more pictures of some random evens in my life.
 
 50,000 Boy Scouts at the 1964 Valley Forge National Jamboree.  Can you find Waldo, oops, I mean me?  Sorry, I can't either because I took the picture.
 Aunt Tami and Charmaine during one of the snowiest winters I can remember (1968).
My missionary district (I was the DL) took the hydrofoil (60 MPH when up on the foils) to Macau, a gambling mecca controlled by Portugal off the south coast of China.  It is about 60 miles west of Hong Kong.  My mission president said each district could take one P-Day and go as tourists.  We rented a cab (the driver is in the center of the picture reaching for his cigarettes).  We all chipped in and bought the "wedding roll" of firecrackers.  The cab driver is about to light it.  Another picture I have shows the elder at right holding the taxi cab driver's cigarette he used to light it with.  We threatened to blackmail the elder if ever necessary.  Afterwards we looked behind us (to the right of the picture) and the Communist Gunboat that had been quietly laying at anchor in international waters (about a mile away) was lined with soldiers stand on deck with guns ready.  We quickly and quietly got in our taxi and got out of there.  Crazy missionaries !!!!!
