Mr. “Politically Correct” aka Brian Cogbill filled in for our Master at Arms, Bob Harbicht (even though Bob was at the meeting).  Explain that one!

Brian started off by nailing Steve Pelletier for $50 simply because of a photo of Steve with his brother.  Guess it should be mentioned that Steve’s brother was wearing a diaper.

Then it was Bob Novell’s turn.  It seems that somehow a photo of Bob’s mother turned up riding a float in the 1932 Pasadena Rose Parade.  Bob’s mother was quite attractive so many of us wondered where she went wrong.  Brian took it easy on poor Bob for only $25.

Eric Barter swore that the beautiful Chris Craft speed boat named “Top Duck” did not belong to him.  Not buying this story but never the less feeling sorry for Eric for the sudden Duck drowning, Brian let him off easy for $50.

After a sort narrative we all became convinced that Jim Helms is a Civil War veteran.  We can only imagine what $100 in today’s money amounted to back then.  Perhaps Jim can tell us as he coughs up his $100 donation.

Bob Harbicht could not identify a photo of a beautiful building he recently saw in Europe while on vacation.  But inexplicitly, Brian let him off without a recognition.  Could it be that he’s trying to score some points?

Our Boy Scout executive, Lucia Bernal, was stumped as to the location of a cemetery containing thousands of U.S. flags placed there by Scouts.  This memory lapse cost her $50.

Rob Granger really tried to stay under the radar but he was tagged by Brian anyway.  It seems Rob is the proud grandpa of a little guy born on November 11.  Benevolent Brian let him off the hook with no recognition.

Then it was Chris Haddow’s turn to be dumped on.  It seems he was recently caught tight rope walking—-a skill we didn’t know he had but  for $50 we found out.  Keep an eye in the sky for his next trick.

Someone caught a photo of Aaron Rose in a large crowd of people on the Great Wall of China during his recent trip there. Brian believes this is a family photo suitable for framing.  Aaron better cough up his $100 before he turns to the cost of framing.

Lastly, being a dentist, not a specialist in optometry, Brian sheepishly admitted to wearing Ashley Andrews name tag.  Of course he didn’t recognize himself for this blunder.
