You be the judge! Andy Williams or Jambo?

The resemblance is uncanny!!

On a serious note - As Full Packers our experiences on the trails, in the mountains and most recently on the water have synergized our “brotherhood”. Let us remember our three climbing brothers currently missing on the north face of Mt. Hood in Oregon. They are - Kelly James, 48, and Brian Hall, 37, both of Dallas, Texas; and Jerry “Nikko” Cooke, 36, of Brooklyn, N.Y. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the three climbers and their families and we wish them a safe journey home.

A new submission from Jambo -

Jambo has been delinquent in accessing the FPR, the last visit being on Halloween. Let me offer my heartfelt apologies. A lot has transpired since then.

First let me congratulate the Cap on his acceptance into the 2007 Mt.Ranier mission. It is a measure of his dedication and persistance and that is why he is the Cap!

Secondly, let me also congratulate the Cap on his upcoming 50th birthday which was celebrated this past Saturday, 12/9/06 at the Foggy Goggle in Fabius. The Goggle is becoming almost as popular as the Road Kill Cafe as a hangout for the FP'rs. In fact, Earth Mother and Jambo hold a reception there every Saturday night during ski season. All are invited!

Thirdly, as a prerequisite for maintaining membership in good standing with the FP'rs, I move that all members must visit the site on a weekly basis.

Finally, although, Jambo owns no "automatic killing devices" at least he knows how to spell correctly the name of the designer of the AK 47----- Kalashnikov !!!

A Christmas Card from Jambo -

Jambo, half-breed scout, would like to pass along a special Christmas message from his tribe in Alaska.

The Legend of the Raven As told by Marilyn Whirlwind,(Northern Exposure)

A long time ago, the raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish old chief. So the raven turned himself into a spruce needle and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came for water. She drank the spruce needle. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, who was the raven in disguise. The baby cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the light, the raven turned back into himself. The raven carried the light into the sky. From then on, we no longer lived in darkness.

Setting Out with the Full Packers - A Full Packer Spotting!!

Guess who was clubbing it up over the weekend?

Celebrity Full Packers; Cosmos and Jambo (seen above), were caught "out on the town" late Saturday night at a well known secluded ski lodge 5 miles south of Earthmothers' Roadkill Cafe'.
