Hello, I am interested in the 46-48 red coat. I sent you an e-mail. Thanks!

Hello there, My persona name is Ben Fridley, my "real" name is Dan Needham. Jennie and Mark Gist and my sister and brother in law, and I live in Columbus, Ohio.

In the interest of finding and meeting with fellow crew members around the globe, I offer this Muster thread. I will maintain it as a simple list of names and towns of those crewmates who have numbered themselves among us. Former members of the crew may also list themselves if they wish and I'll keep that list here as well.

I'm coming too!!

I was just in the virgin Islands, where there was a store which sold clothing made from the fibers of bamboo. Not sure of the company name...but google bamboo clothing...see what you get!<br>

I like Prepare to be boarded!

Mission,<br><br>My son (who is nearly 20) and I were just saying how so many young people know so little about the Looney Toons! They are not on TV anymore, and so many were deemed to be "racist","sexist" and "violent"...heck...that was why they were FUN! They were smart alecky,violent and really just a mirror of the 30's,40's and early 50's.<br><br>I know you can buy these on DVD, and I guess that is the only option.<br><br>Ben<br>

Silas,

Jennnie, Mark and I drove down to see the Whydah exhibit when it

was in Cincinnati. Very interesting. Go see it!!!

The more the merrier!!! Over 40 of us would be great!

Mission,

Sounds like all is well! How is the weather behaving? Take lots of photos!!!

Ben

Good to see some Tea Party going folks here! I have been to a couple rallies, and you get excited to know that you are not alone by any stretch of the imagination in the direction you see this nation heading...and we cannot be silent!

I went out to Facebook and joined your worthy cause. There are many statues around the world based on fictional characters. Good luck!

These are really nice! I think these are the perfect Christmas present for we pirates!

I took lessons to play the snare drum - (anybody remember Haskel Harr lesson books? ) starting in the 3rd grade and played all things percussion through High School, was in the All Ohio State Fair Band, and was a member of the Ohio State University Marching Band (snare drum) when at OSU. I still drum each Memorial Day with my drum teacher in the same Civil War unit in which my Dad was a member.I am also a member of the OSU Alumni Band..

Ye be one swarthy simian to be sure!

Mmmmmmm.....sangria.......

Agreed!!!

I bought a pair of slops and a leather pouch, and they were true professionals in every way!

The first fellow looks rather ...well.."jolly"...while the second looks as if he means business!!!

I very specifically said 'vehicle.'

"A boat is a hole in the water which you fill with money."

Talking military vehicles, there are two I've always liked. They are based on the same (somewhat foolish from a Physics POV) principle:

The Kettenkrad:

The American Half Track:

Here's a modern version (does this qualify for Cash for Clunkers?):

got in late sunday nite... had a blast... pics will be coming soon...

nate and jen put on one heckuva show !!

Hello Lady Constance,

Nice to meet you this past weekend! You and your cookies are both wonderful! Looking forward to

see you and Silas in September!

i counted at least 35 tents...150 participating pirates, and every tent/ demo was looked thru and asked questions..... the encampment was THE place to be!!!

during the battles, the entire beach crowd stopped and watched!! then had to come see what it was all about!!

it feels like i met half the people on the pub!!!

and i told a few about it too....

after hours, just about everyone hung out at the pub!!!

Nate--- darling you did awesome!! for sure we will be there next year!! [and thanks for the best camp spot ever!! by the bar!-uh--i mean the pub]

cant rave enough how much fun it was!!
