Ray, lets just say you should make sure you at least have the coin you got in last year's goody bag in your possession at all times. There are other coins from other years as well. Google "Military coin challenge"

The coin challenge is something Big Al brought to the DOC from his military background. It dates back to WWI where squadron pilots had coins struck identifying them as members of a given squadron and has been a tradition carried on by the military up to modern times. They always carry their coins on their person and, whenever a group of military get together for a little "social" imbibing, any member of the group can issue a challenge to the rest of the group to show their coins. If any member of the coin-carrying group doesn't have their coin, or can't present it within "a step and a reach", they must buy a round. If everyone has their coins, then the challenger must buy a round. The DOC adopted this tradition during the first plant tour and has had coins struck for a few of the other plant tours and the DOC Rendezvous in Gatlinburg.

For a more detailed history, see Challenge coin (Wikipedia) and Custom Challenge Coins

There's also the possibility that Roxanne from the Howard Johnson''s Motel and her husband may join us. She took very good care of us when we stayed there for a few tours.

Damn that looks like it'd be cool, but my orangemobile would be laughed off the premises, plus I'm all signed up to do something at my daughters school that day (first thing ever doing at the school since she just started kindergarten, so it should be somewhat fun still lol)
