FULL PACKER DATELINE NEWS RELEASE – 7/5/06 – 9:22am: In a phone interview this morning, Capitanious responded to an e-mail sent to him over the past 4th of July weekend. In it, its states; “capt. the FULLPACKERS were founded in 1989 not 1988 as you stated, at HERM AID .REMEMEBER? DAAH ! ROCKETMAN.” Capitanious responded, "I would like to set the record straight for Rocketman! The Full Packer Association was founded in the summer 1988. Our first actual climb was the following year in 1989 when we went up and over Mt. Marcy fully packed. I know that one of the joys of e-mail is to throw out quick simple remarks, where no thought is given to the verbalized statement. As a Charter Member I take pride in knowing Full Packer History, I just wish other Charter Members would do the same." As the phone interview was coming to an end Capitanious took advantage of the moment and brought up another e-mail that was sent to him by the other Charter Member Jambo. "As you may know, I suggested that the Full Packers register as climbers in pursuit of becoming offical members of the 46ers by climbing all the High Peaks over 4,000' in the Adirondacks. Shortly after this published statement in The Full Packer Report, Jambo e-mailed a stated to me, simply stating, 'Take my 4-6 inches!' I'm not quite sure what Jambo is referring to, however I believe he is referring to a part of his anatomy!!" Capitanious paused for a moment, obviously furious with the comment, and then continued "Let me state for the record that it is this type of remark and behavior that has set the Full Packers back for the past 4 to 5 years. I am publishing Jambo's remark as an example and to demonstrate how Full Packers should not behave, especially in this time of rebuilding."
