I just mailed off a check on the 14th and by today, received acknowledgement and the last two newsletters. Now that I'm a member, what's the secret handshake?

Jay, welcome to the TCA, "Tracie's Clandestine Association". You now owe us a beer at the Grandville Inn next year! Or at that other little joint in Grandville, I forget the name, Phil I need a little he'p.

Hey Mike,
I booked and paid my air ticket to the SAR show, I fly to LAX on 27th Nov.
Intention is to make the weekend one to "really" remember,
What a great bunch of Guys and Gals we have in the Thompson group.
What a cool time we will have at Phoenix!!!!!!!
Regards M
PS1. Have arranged to fly the Jump seat in the 747-400 again!!
PS2. You own the best West Hurly 1928A1 I have ever fired.!

[Jay Baker]

Thanks fellas, hope to meet each of you somewhere, sometime, somehow-if I can get away.

GP, been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I'm fully involved in the "family business" now. Haven't taken a real vacation in two years but I'm going river rafting in north Georgia this weekend and plan to attend the shoot at the Redlands on the 29th. If you're coming, bring the Greasegun so I can run a mag of corrosive WWII ammo through it.

Geez,.when I joined 6 months ago nobody told me about a secret handshake,...what`s up with that?...is it with one hand or two...do ya wink too?

[hawksnest]

Attn all TCA members - Do not divulge the secret handshake or the secret sign and countersign, even if you are tortured. For those of you who have travelled east or known Hiram, that's a different story.

Murray, how did you get the jumpseat on the whale? Kevin

Hi Jay,
Good decision and welcome! I also just joined before the TCA shoot, went to Fairfax and met a bunch of these Thompson Crazed folks and found one of the nicest groups of good people I have ever met (REALLY!!)

Looking forward to meeting you also, and my wife wants to know if you have a wife or significant other who also shoots??

Not sure if I'll be at KCR in Oct (usually go in April) but my wife and I WILL be at Phoenix in Dec for the SAR show (never done that one!)

maybe see ya soon?

Hi John,

My wife can shoot and will sometimes, but she really doesn't care too much for the sport. I do have a video of her emptying a drum next to a friend dumping a 71 round drum in a Swedish K. She finished way ahead. See ya.

Jay, Glad to have you aboard. I promise to show you the "secret handshake" at the next TCA show. One of the best clubs I have ever been involved with! Mike, are you talking about that little microbrew pub downtown?

[full auto 45]

That's the one. Forget the name.
