American Legion Post #24

Don't forget the Pre-Super Bowl Happy Hour tomorrow at Shark Tank. See the January 17th news item below.

And we're only about two weeks away from our Bowling Fundraiser. For details, see the January 15th news item below.

If you haven't signed up for 2014 Softball, do so right away. More than 144 players have already signed up. See the January 6th and November 21st news items for details. 

While you're on the website, check out the work Harry Gowl did in his free time on the From the Players page.

Harry Gowl got creative and did some analysis on the ages of OTS players. Here's his perspective:

1. The average age of OTS players is 68.7 years as of their 2014 birth dates.

2. The total age of the group at 11,818 years stretches to before the end of the last ice age.

3. The Hebrew calendar only began 5574 years ago.

4. The pyramids at Giza are a mere 4573 years old.

5. Alexander the Great conquered the known world fairly recently at 2659 years ago.

6. Julius Caesar had his bad day at the Forum just the other day at 2047 years ago.

7. Columbus discovered America last week at 521 years ago.

8. The American Civil War (or the War for Southern Independence, as I like to call it) ended this morning or 148 years ago.

From the above, I draw three conclusions:

1. We may be getting old.

2. I should not have had that second Bloody Mary (Queen Mary I, reigned 1553-8, or Friday, at 455 years ago) with brunch.

3. I am within months of being the exact average age.

Best regards,

Harry
