Forty Fort Lions
Do not try this at home !!!
This belongs in the "believe it
or not" category.
For about ten years the club has
"marched" in numerous
parades as the "World Champion"
Precizzshun Lawnmore Teem.
Rumor has it that the allusionary/illusionary
world championship
was held in Nepal, which is known
for its steep, rocky mountains.
Undaunted, our "teem" has "marched"
in Forty Fort, Kingston,
Pittston, Altoona, Hershey, Philadelphia
and the Poconos.
The brigade was inaugurated by Commander
Bob Connolly.
In recent years it has been guided
by Commander Bruce Dadurka.
The teem is known for its
hard-to-duplicate Figure 1.
Lion John Brawley's lawnmore toilet
seat has been known to leave
droppings along the road and Lion Tom Newcomb's lawnmore
has been the catalyst of several "almost crippled" citations.
If you are still reading, we really
did win an award in Altoona but
we can't remember the category...
perhaps it was Most Unusual.
These men are trained professionals... right!
