| We received this from Mark
Osborn, formerly of San Angelo:
"I am the third from the left kneeling. I had moved to San Angelo in March of that year from Brownfield, where I was in the South Plains Council. I came from a rich heritage of scouting, my Dad was the scoutmaster of troop 785 in Brownfield and I was in Ralph Hedrick's troop, I believe # 742. I went on to live in San Angelo another 22 years. I currently reside in Weatherford. "The jamboree was in Farragut State Park in Idaho. We flew out of Midland and spent the night in Spokane and drove over to the park the next day. When we arrived, it was hot and the tens of thousands of scouts were arriving . We set up camp and almost immediately got involved in the numerous activities, including canoeing on the lake, I recall a miniature zoo with a bald eagle. Basically ... lot's of fun. We slid down the hill on cardboard for extracurricular activity. "There was a lot of after hour activity. But the most awesome of all was seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon live in the huge amphitheater. "Our motto was 'Building to Serve' leaders for tomorrow. It was a great character building event. In fact, I can say with confidence I would not be who I am today if I had not have had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of it. "Many long years have passed, but I can still remember the day of the photo. Ralph Hawkins on the left, Gene Hinnard on the right, both great men who did indeed build leaders for tomorrow. "I owe them both a debt of gratitude." Mark Osborn From Patrick Adams: I grew up in Del Rio and
was active in Scouting in Concho Valley - Camp Staff, OA, etc
