Back in the 70's I went to a fooball game with 5 others, 3 elders one ms. The PO and myself went up to get a beer and it just so happened that the national anthem started as we we were making our way to our seats. We stopped and stood in the crowd. Get this part, the Po starts humming along to the star spangled banner! WOW! Shock! Whoa, i didn't hear that, did I!? YUP! I didn't say anything, just a natural reaction, maybe? So, anyways, as the game finished, we lost of course, the Lions always loose on thanksgiving. we were leaving the stadium and this same bro. the PO says to me" let's make like hockey players and get the PUCK out of here". Ture story. So, about a week later I cornered him after the thurs meeting and told him of my disappointment and dismay at his comments and actions at the game. His reply to me," I am sorry you feel that way, however, I am not a SPIRITUAL person"!!!! OMG! Batman! So, I approached the secretary and related the events to him. he said that it was being handled. After about 3 months or so he and his wife moved. Only then was it announced that he was no longer an elder. The good ole boys covered for him.
