Congratulations to your son. Thanks, Ed. Eagle scout projects are a good lesson in life and most Eagle scouts go on to great things. When he was a Cub Scout, his den and a few others took a field trip to the Marshall Space Center in Huntsville AL. One sentence from their welcoming program for the Scouts has stuck with me: "Every footprint on the moon was left there by an Eagle Scout." |
