WEEK 16 OF 2008-OUR 28TH
YEAR
A Happy, Kosher,
Sweet Passover
WE
AT "22 CREW" HQ WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THE ABOVE GREETING TO
ALL OUR MANY FRIENDS READING "APPLE SLICES" AND CELEBRATING THIS MOST WONDERFUL
HOLIDAY WHICH BEGAN LAST NIGHT AT SUNDOWN.
PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OBSERVANCE RELATED TO PESACH (PASSOVER) INVOLVES THE REMOVAL OF CHAMETZ (LEAVEN; SOUNDS LIKE "HUM IT'S" WITH THAT SCOTTISH "CH") FROM THE CELEBRANTS HOME. THIS COMMEMORATES THE FACT THAT THE JEWS LEAVING EGYPT WERE IN A HURRY, AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO LET THEIR BREAD RISE. IT IS ALSO A SYMBOLIC WAY OF REMOVING THE "PUFFINESS" (ARROGANCE, PRIDE) FROM OUR SOULS.
SO HOW DO ALL THE REST OF US NOT OBSERVING THE HOLIDAY BENEFIT FROM ALL THIS? WELL WE EAT TOO YA KNOW!!!
IF YOU GO TO YOUR LOCAL SHOPRITE THERE ARE WONDERFUL THINGS YOU CAN GET IN MANY CASES ONLY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR LIKE:
MATZA OR SOMETIMES MATZOH... IN ANY CASE YOU PROUNOUNCE IT "MOT ZA" GO GET A BOX OF THE GARLIC OR ONION FLAVORED OR EVEN JUST PLAIN AND BIG CONTAINER OF SWEET OR LIGHTLY SALTED BUTTER ... WOWEEEEEE
OH AND REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A KID HOW GOOD COCA-COLA USED TO TASTE:
NOW NOT SAYING ANY OF YOU WERE A KID IN THE 1890'S WHEN THE ABOVE AD CAME OUT BUT BACK THEN AND UP UNTIL MOST OF OUR CHILDHOODS COCA COLA WAS MADE WITH REAL CANE SUGAR ... IT IS ONLY IN RECENT YEARS THAT THEY SWITCHED OVER TO USING CORN SYRUP AND THE STUFF JUST DOES NOT TASTE AS GOOD...HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME OF YEAR YOU CAN GO TO THE STORE AND BUY COCA-COLA THAT IS KOSHER FOR PASSOVER...IT IS MADE WITH THE OLD FASHIONED CANE SUGAR RATHER THAN THE NEW YUCKKY CORN SYRUP AND TASTES JUST LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS THAT YOU REMEMBER!
SO BOYS AND GIRLS...YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO ENJOY AND CELEBRATE PASSOVER....YUM!
NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN THE JUNGLE FORGET
LIONS, TIGERS & ALLIGATORS oh
my!
LOOK FOR
A "22 CREW" T
SHIRT SIGHTING
OK SO ITS NOT EXACTLY THE JUNGLE BUT IT SURE LOOKS CLOSE...ITS
THE EVERGLADES IN FLORIDA AND WALKING ALONG THE TRAIL PROPERLY DRESSED NONE
OTHER THAN DAVE-N9QP, HIS FRIEND ROCIO AND SON...MANY OF YOU MET DAVE &
ROCIO AT OUR LAS VEGAS TEACHERS MEETING...DAVE, AND BY THE WAY HE USED TO BE
KE4W, WAS A VITAL PLAYER SEVEN YEARS AGO IN CREATING AND MAKING THE
VEGAS EDUCATIONAL EVENT AN ANNUAL REALITY...
DAVE AND COMPANY WILL BE BACK TO MEET AND GREET ALL OF YOU
HAM/EDUCATORS AS WE GATHER IN LAS VEGAS THIS YEAR...THAT OF COURSE IS IF THE
ALLIGATORS WERE NOT TOO HUNGRY AFTER THE ABOVE PICTURE WAS TAKEN!
DAYTON
AS
"APPLE SLICES" 16 GOES TO PRESS WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT OUR SITE FOR THE
SATURDAY NIGHT "22 CREW" EYEBALL-P.M.I., IS GOING OUT OF
BUSINESS.
FOR THOSE OF YOU
WITH US LAST YEAR YOU KNOW THAT THE PEERLESS MILL INN (P M I) WAS ABOUT AS
GOOD AS IT GETS. THE STAFF COULD NOT OF BEEN BETTER/NICER/FRIENDLIER
THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT COULD NOT OF BEEN BETTER OR MORE REASONABLY
PRICED. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL .. JUST LOOK BACK
AT OLD COPY'S OF "SLICES" FROM DAYTON 2007.
IT COMES
TO US AS A TOTAL SHOCK THAT AS OF APRIL 30 THEY WILL SHUT THE DOORS ON A
HISTORIC,WELL KNOWN AND GREAT ESTABLISHMENT.
WHEN WE GOT THE
NEWS ABOUT THIS CLOSING FROM WALTER-WA4LT WE CALLED THE PMI DIRECTLY TO VERIFY
AS IT SEEMED SO UNBELIEVABLE. LESLIE, THE MANAGER, WHO WAS ON DUTY LAST
YEAR WHEN WE WERE THERE AND REMEMBERED US SAID THAT PEOPLE SIMPLY STOPPED COMING
IN AND EATING OUT IN GENERAL AS THE ECONOMY HAS DETERIORATED SO BADLY IN THE
AREA.
B U
T
LESLIE ALSO SAID THAT
THERE IS A CHANCE THEY COULD BE TAKEN OVER BY ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP AND
THE CLOSING WOULD NOT HAPPEN..IT SOUNDED TO US LIKE SHE MIGHT HAVE INSIDE
INFORMATION.
IN ANY EVENT IN "APPLE
SLICES 18", COMING OUT SUNDAY MAY 4, ONCE ALL THIS HAS BEEN WORKED OUT WE
WILL ANNOUNCE THE DEFINITE SITE OF THE ANNUAL "22 CREW" SATURDAY
NIGHT DAYTON EYEBALL.
HAVE NO FEAR...WE GOT
BACKUP!
IN THE MEANTIME...THERE
IS STILL PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE INN. THE SUPER 8 INN THAT IS. CALL
THEM NOW AND STAY WITH THE FINAST FLOCK OF FOLKS IN ALL OF HAMDOM DURING THE
DAYS & NIGHTS OF DAYTON 2008:

NEW
YORKER'S,
THEY ARE
EVERYWHERE!
IF YOU CHECK IN ON THE CLASSROOM NET YOU HAVE HEARD PETER G8/W4ERJ.
PETER HAS THIS WONDERFUL AND DISTINCTIVE ACCENT THAT ONE FROM THE UK DEVELOPS
AND NEVER LOSES. IN FACT WE HAVE STARTED CALLING HIM "007" BECAUSE HE
REALLY DOES SOUND LIKE "JAMES".
SO THE OTHER NIGHT PETER (007) GOES TO THE WR4AYC REPEATER GROUP MEETING IN
CORAL SPRINGS FL...WHO DOES HE START CHATTING WITH BUT ELLIOTT-KB2TZ!
ELLIOTT-KB2TZ ON THE LEFT IS ORIGINALLY FROM NY AND GOES BACK TO THE VERY
EARLY DAYS OF THE "22 CREW" AND WAS ONE OF OUR FIRST SUPPORTERS. PETER ON THE
RIGHT NEVER MET ELLIOTT UNTIL THAT NIGHT AND THEY GOT TO TALKING AND ONE THING
LED TO ANOTHER AND SURE ENOUGH THEY REALIZED ALL THAT THEY HAD IN COMMON...
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY:
YOU JUST CANT GET AWAY FROM NEW YORKERS AND "22 CREW" MEMBERS ANYWHERE ON
THIS PLANET!
