TBird - thank you so much for your tribute to The Colonel back in year 1999 & again on your updated site in 2008- I just found your dear words along with several of the old timers. Time does fly. I just wanted you to know after much soul searching I have moved back to Missouri to be near my huge family as I'm the only one who left our Home Town & Missouri. My sisters determined that 921 miles was just too far to drive to visit me - Lets get together again for old time sakes!!! Love you The Colonels - Meg Roberts

Charles Gus Peterson (65, August 5, 1954 - September 28, 2019) retired from the Air Force (1980 to February 2000) passed this past weekend after a battle with throat cancer caused by smoking and vaping. I met him when stationed at Landstuhl, Germany, in the early 1990s. We started the Kaiserslautern Amiga User Group which met each Thursday at the Vogelweh recreation center. After he retired from the Air Force, he moved to the Birmingham AL area because he did not want to deal with the annual snowfalls of his home town Brooklyn, NY. He had a passion for computers, technology, video games, and an unique sense of sarcastic humor. Until we meet again, "salute:. This i…

A guy i know burned himself ALIVE ! And thats all i will say about that ! Is anyone interested in helping organize a a Protest or Something in DC or at a VA Facility to bring this and other issues into light ! Only serious responses needed. So far the Plan is DC and only requires 25 People ALL IN and as many support as we can get, At least one congressman is willing to post bail after the unwanted event sit in style and of course they arrest people for that. Your thoughts ?

He was always a very imposing figure in my life, tall, witty.and most of all he was blessed with a heart of gold. He restored a century old clock and gave it to me. He was an avid fisherman and loved Lake Cumberland. I inherited that love of Lake Cumberland and have fished it numerous times. He is buried at the head of my favorite creek just before it runs into the lake. A few years ago, I visited him and I knew he had a VA claim in as he was medically discharged from the Army in 1945. He had fought the VA all those years wit…
