Flag Lowering Ceremonies to Resume on Friday Nights

The new owner of the Captains home, Andy Cooper, was so touched by the Veterans Day ceremonies, that he would like for us to continue to hold them. Jay & I were able to talk with him that morning at length while getting the flagpole re-lined for the flag, and Andy was very excited to hear about the "funky corner". He is extremely interested in the history of the Captain and is learning as much as he can about his life, and has created a website to contain all of the archives about the Captain at http://captainstyles.info/. We will hold the ceremonies on Friday nights for now, like we were doing prior to the home selling,
