RE: [Philmont]: Lottery Results are Out!

I'd like to apologize to the group for my comments earlier in the day, I
sounded like a spoiled child. The truth is I'm very happy for all the
lottery winners out there I know you are in for a great time and wish
you the best. I guess I just did a lousy job of keeping my
disappointment to myself. Only one boy in my Troop has been to Philmont
and I really wanted so much to get the whole group there as a unit.
 We do have a plan "B", but it won't be the same. It took me so long to
get them to step out of the safety zone and decide to go for it, I hate
for them to run into a roadblock on the first try.
 Oh well, all we can do is wait another couple of weeks and hope for a
very low number.
 I hope all you winners make the very best of your opportunity and have
the times of your life. You never know, we might just make it there yet.
 YIS,
 Tom
IWGBTP more than ever.
