    I am really proud to announce...

    That at 7:48 PM EST this evening the Boy Scouts of America added another Eagle Scout to its ranks....Doug Buchanan...aka AR Junior.

    What a great Christmas gift for us as a family and for him in particular!

    Mayor Bates:Daryl, he wouldn't hurt a fly. I know my son, Colonel. He's not the guerrilla type.
    Colonel Ernesto Bella: According to records, Mayor... your son is a prominent student leader.
    Mayor Bates: Yes, well... he's a leader, but not in a violent or physical way. You see, Daryl... he's more of a politician, like his father.
    Colonel Ernesto Bella: A member of an elite paramilitary organization: "Eagle Scouts!"

    Outstanding achievement. All the best to all the Buchanans.

    Thanks all.

    I knew I could share this with the WAB World who would recognize it for what such an accomplishment it means to a young man. I swear he is walking 3 feet above the ground!!!

    Best to all and thanks for you good wishes.
