Heard from Iron Man, Jim Oakes. He did break his leg in the fall...but he is managing the pain with a little help....Best of All...He is still planning to join us....Now, that's an Iron Man...

Buffalo Update / Easter Weekend / Spring Break / Bearcat District Play
We trust you and your family had a glorious Easter Weekend. It's Spring Break throughout Lincoln Parish and I bet you recall, as I do, fondly the days when that had a greater meaning. Over the weekend, Buffalo 2008 surged to 252. We lost a few, but picked up a lot more. Keep in your prayers, Iron Man Jim Oakes. Though I have not had the opportunity to speak to Jim, I understand he survived with some broken bones a nasty fall from his roof on Friday. News of his accident makes me appreciate the fact, that I am not as young as I once was and that we never know what tomorrow will bring. I know we all wish him a speedy and quick recovery. I will keep you posted on Jim's condition as I learn more. Also, should you see Iron Man Jim Pearce...wish him a "Happy 50th Birtday". Jim turned 50 on Saturday. Unlike the rest of us...I kinda think Jim looks his age..........just joking.
Over the next few days, I expect the trip to start settling out. Should you still need a room, be sure to let me know. I will keep you on a list, should things start shaking out in and around the Gordon Motel. This morning I will be submitting our T-Shirt order for the trip. I believe Tommy T's has developed a pleasing design for our shirts this year and one that the boys will enjoy wearing for years to come as a trip reminder. We are glad each of you have signed up. Checkout the "who has signed up now link" on Camp Tatum's Buffalo River Home Page and take a look at our amazing group. With this many fine father and sons....the trip can not help but be glorious. Did you get those amazing pictures of the flood waters at our second day launch site provided by Iron Man John Neal? Wow! As I mentioned before, it just seems like they and us are having a wetter Spring. I have a feeling Buffalo 2008 may enjoy our best water in years.
Wouldn't you know that Spring Break finally comes again at a reasonable time, now that my boys are past the Lincoln Parish School calendar. We hope you will take some time off this week and enjoy a little of the break with your children. If you need something to do, check out our local high school athletics this week. I understand that on Thursday, our defending State Champion Lady Bearcat softball team as well as our boys baseball team will begin district play at home against West Monroe.
Remember, the last day to sign up for Buffalo 2008 is April 1. Enjoy the Week!
