“The most advanced scientific brains of the Dark Ages were convinced that they could turn baser metals into gold. Most thought the sun orbited the earth. What assurance can you give me that in another 75 years we will not look back at today’s scientific pronouncements and giggle at their stupidity?”   The Major From the Shooting Sportsman     “Real power, the power of the individual--which I then realized did not mean being an island, that this life is a kaleidoscope and the most wondrous designs are created when different shapes and colors interact together, and when they overlap, light passes through both.”   Shreve Stockton from The Daily Coyote     Upcoming events March 26-29   RYLA – Rotary Youth Leadership Awards   Our club can select up to 4 to attend.
