 have a vague memory of seeing the house through the trees, and a much more distinct memory of coming across an old well in the ground. The well was uncovered and a dead opossum was drowned in it.
But these memories are all nearly dreamlike now. I'm sure for the week after that excursion my thoughts about it were razor sharp; but I'm writing this nearly forty years later. How much of the above is accurate? I'm really not sure.
My doubts about the veracity of all of this were such that when I was walking through Burke Place last weekend, I asked myself, "just how real was this Bamboo Forest?... is there even any bamboo remaining in this neighborhood?" So, I kept my eyes peeled, on the lookout for any of that vegetation.
The location of this bamboo seems to align with my memories. There is a creek very close by (a creek that runs from the north to the south), and I believe the original house-in-the-woods was at my back as I took the above picture (it's the only house that seems older than the more recently built domiciles). I could not, however, find an old well or cesspit anywhere around.
But again, this may be a case of my brain re-forming memories to fit an imagined narrative. There is definitely a little bit of bamboo in the area still, and I know we, as kids, frequently talked about "The Bamboo Forest", but whether that "forest" was prominent enough to warrant its nearly legendary status is a very worthy question, indeed.I'd like to ask all you guys and gals who own Pontiac, Oakland, or GMC street rods, customs, or otherwise modified cars and trucks a question. If you don't belong to the Street Rod & Modified Chapter, what is your reason for not joining?
The SRM chapter is one of the oldest in POCI yet has pretty low membership. I'm curious as to what the reasons are. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Define Street rod / custom. I think that most people don't consider their car a rod even tho it may classify.
Well, the chapter is called the "Street Rod & Modified Chapter," so to me it has always meant street rod, hot rod, pro-mod, pro street, race car, custom, etc. If a car fits in any of the modified or customs classes at the convention, it would be a good candidate.
So my G/P with Rally wheels qualifies, at least they got it put in the semi modded class at Dayton. Damned good parking spot tho!
I also think there are quite a few "purists" within the POCI. But I don't think to the same degree as the AACA. I'd love to do a street rod but don't have the resources to do it right now.
Allan, good question, & I guess the question for me is how many chapters can I afford to join, & what I could give to chapter or receive up here in Canada. I have POCI dues, CPSC [Canadian Pontiac Specialty Chapter] dues, local hot rod club dues, ETC all on fixed income, I don't know if the same reasons stop others from joining up or they just don't see the need, as POCI is enough!!! North of the border limits members on activity's with Poci functions, as to distance, exchange on U S $$$$, hotel fees, gas, + pass port to cross into U S. I was hoping to make the Convention this yr, but all of the above put that in the "toilet"
I'l also add that Pete's got a good point with the multiple fees associated with joining chapters.
I know several people who say that's why they don't.
Mike, great letter in latest Signals, just got it & was 'amazed" but not shocked on participation in your POLL[Zero response] Keep plugging the web site!!! Just look at the POLL here for Grille Badges, last time I checked, only 12 members had answered it!!! There seems to be more "new" names popping up here on this site & thats a GOOD thing!!! Would like to know how many individual members have actually come on to check it out, [maybe we should take a POLL ] just kidding. I still think there are more members than you think that are not on line or don't use the computor if they have one in home. When I did my dash I had 2 leads for dash parts up here, neither member is on line,phone only & both want nothing to do with it!!! Guess in "some cases " you can't teach "old dogs" new tricks!!!! I didn't want this computor either, now I'm lost without it.
Yes, that's a good point. That would be an interesting issue to address. What if a guy had a custom or hot rod, a stock Grand Prix, a Custom Safari, and a restored 1929? Chapterland would be an expensive excursion.
yes, we are seeing more new members. I would like to challenge all folks, to take the take at their next chapter meeting to talk about this forum. Don't take for granite everyone is computer savey. What might seem so easy to us might seem a little tough for others. So please give them click by click instructions. I would also suggest seeing all chapter newsletters receive a article with the same discussion. Hopefully one by one we will soon get most everyone on board.
As to Alan, I belong to 4 or 5 chapters and yes it's tough. I hear the same thing from others, the extra chapter membership dues are just to much.<?php

A website created by the Veterans of the Southern Freedom Movement as a non-commercial educational resource for students, academics, researchers, and people of all kinds who wish to learn more about the Civil Rights Movement from the point of view of those who were a part of it. The heart and soul of the website is emphasizing the central role played by ordinary people transforming their lives through extraordinary courage. The site features documents, photographs, and remembrances written, created, or spoken by movement activists who were direct participants in the events they chronicle.
On April 14-16, 1988, Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, hosted a conference titled “We shall not be moved: the life and times of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee, 1960-1966.” The conference featured notable guests and speakers who were closely tied to the SNCC. The entire program was recorded on 10 videocassettes and recently digitized for the One Person, One Vote project.
The McCain Library & Archives The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Libraries preserves and makes accessible for public research over 100 collections related to the Civil Rights Movement – especially regarding Mississippi. USM actively collects archival material for this subject area and regularly adds images to its online digital collections (see http://lib.usm.edu/spcol.html). USM is also listed with other repositories for “What to do With Your Freedom Movement Papers” on both the SNCC Legacy Project and the Civil Rights Movement Veterans websites.

The Wisconsin Historical Society, founded in 1846, cares for more than four million publications and 150,000 cubic feet of manuscripts on the nation’s history. During the 1960s, the Society aggressively collected material on the Civil Rights Movement as events were unfolding, and even sent staff throughout the South to gather manuscripts from local activists and SNCC field secretaries. Its civil rights manuscripts fill more than 1,000 boxes; 40,000 pages of these have been mounted online at wisconsinhistory.org/freedomsummer.If you would like very hot water for extended periods of time, you should get rid of the tank. Sure, you could technically put them in line as you've described, but it makes no sense. Why have two machines to do the work of one? Also, a tankless water heater will technically fire up every time you turn the water on, but won't put out heat unless the exiting water temperature requires it.

it seems, however, like you're under the impression that a tankless water heater is somehow less effective than a tanked water heater when in fact the opposite is true. I have one, it is awesome. Unlimited hot water is one of the advantages to tankless. 

Most tankless water heaters ship from the factory with the water temperature locked in at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not by accident. 120 degrees happens to be the temperature at which the skin of a child will scald near immediately. Due to the necessity of higher temperatures for some commercial applications, most tankless water heaters will actually output up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit by making adjustments on the control board, or in the settings. It is strongly advised however, that when making these changes, anti scald devices are also installed prior to any faucets and fixtures. This is to eliminate the danger of a child accidentally turning on the hot water and burning themselves. (Though there are also energy-saving benefits to setting a lower temperature)

A tanked water heater will make the same process happen, in the same temperature ranges. The only difference is that it's slower at it than a tankless. Where a tankless puts out temperature immediately, a tank
