Lance and Judi Brown unfortunately weren t able to be with us due to illness (missed you guys) however, they had made arrangements for Ron Miller to provide our entertainment during Happy Hour and into the night. Ron is a wonderful guitarist and singer. That being said, the Coasters danced until the wee hour of 9:00 PM. John Wright was our sheriff. He and his deputy were both sporting an official sheriff badge. Crime scene tape was placed around the crime scene to protect us from a large group of 26 law breakers. John took his job seriously. Fines were collected and the 26 villains were released. Oops, we were bad Friday was full of goodbyes and hugs COASTER CHATTER PAGE 4
