May 19-21, 2006 GSL (Greater St. Louis) Unit Rally held at Carlyle Lake, Il. We arrived mid afternoon Friday, enjoyed visiting with everyone, especially the Bakers, Stablers, and the Roodhouses who we had never met before. We watched a Alfred Hitchcock movie (North by Northwest) on the side of a white tent from 8:30 to 11:00p.m. “Starts on the Water” was the name of the rally with the “Star” being Cary Grant that night. Saturday we visited, drove to some other Corps of Engineers campgrounds and had a “Chili Dump” for dinner. Everyone brought some of their favorite chili, dumped it all in a big pot and served it. Not bad! That evening we listened to a 1949 Groucho Marks radio show called “You bet your life”, visited and ate smores around the campfire. Sunday consisted of more visiting around the “breakfast table” and getting hooked up for departure. We arrived home after a couple of stops and had a nice dinner with Harry and Nancy Corbett.
