Well, how about day after tomorrow? The crew was me, Emery Hutchins, Bill & Gina Dunlap, Mike Modern, Don Hale, Ranger1 & Jason, Gail Finn and Amanda who came in later, Bruce MacIntyre, Chris Vaughan & Amy, Jeff Warner, Lucas Duncan who also came in late, and our newest singer, Jake, who is stationed here in Portsmouth with the Coast Guard.
