April 2008 Newsletter
The April campout was at Ft Cobb. We had 11 members present with one new
member, they were the Callahans, Erby Cheatham, Griffins, Johnsons,
Marshes, Owens, Doyle Rowe, Thrailkills, Tuckers, Wests and the new members
John & Debbie Riley. Others that visited during the campout were Jimmy
Johnsons friends from Lone Wolf (who helped with the Fish Fry), Donnie &
Charlene Fink and John & Ronda Clayton. The Griffins had to leave early they
had a bad water leak within their motor home. The camp out was fun but the
weather kept most of the guys from doing any serious fishing. Good thing
Jimmy & Diane had caught a number of fish prior to the campout. Gene & Jimmy
brought their boats with them but the wind and rain kept them in. The club
did visit some local stores and restaurants, Ft Cobb's Ski-Boy Drive-in,
Anadarko's El Charro and the Cross-Timbers. As usual some did visit the
Anadarko Super Wal-Mart.
President: Our president was not present so, Jimmy Johnson (VP)
called the meeting to order Saturday. Some discussion was made on the site
selection committee. Jim mentioned that the other members of the committee
had not turned in their list for 2009. He did state that Palo Duro Canyon in
TX might be the out of state choice. Mt View, AR was also suggested but gas
prices changed that.
Treasurer: Karen Thrailkill reported that we had $1546.23 in our
Treasury.
Secretary: Barry was not present, but Inez took notes and this letter
reflects her notes. Thanks Inez.

way thru her radiation treatment. Also remember Lu & Barry. Lu's brother was
killed in a car accident on Saturday the 5th of April. Harry & Bonnie did
not make the campout because of health reasons. Jim Owens gave the
devotional on Sunday morning. As usual Jim always gives a great way for us
to end our campouts.
