FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 23, 2007: The following submission is another Jambo contribution:

Jambo would like to express his profound apologies to First Light and his lovely wife Linda for his juvenile behavior this past Saturday evening in the parking lot of the Scotch and Sirloin. After a wonderful cruise themed dinner with First Light, Linda, Earth Mother, Mark “Bones” Waite and new wife Sue, Jambo, feeling a touch of spring fever decided to throw snowballs at the Waite and First Light vehicles as they departed the restaurant parking lot. He scored a direct hit on the Waites as Bones accelerated feverishly to escape the frozen fusilade. As the First Light vehicle slowed to a stop to bid us a final goodnight, Jambo threw the snowball which he had secretly concealed behind his back through the open window of said vehicle at a distance of 30 yards narrowly avoiding injury to First Light. This was ill conceived and unwarranted. Jambo had no malicious intent and did not aim the projectile at the esteemed Full Packer. It was purely an act of God. Again, my heartfelt apologies to not only the victims, but to all my fellow Full Packers for such disgraceful public behavior.

FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 17, 2007: The following submission is another Jambo contribution:

"In the wake of this past weekend's Nor'easter, Jambo and "friend" have just returned from a mid-spring winter-like frolic at Gore Mountain in North Creek, NY. Jambo, a devoted snowboarder, selflessly gave up the board in deference to his "friend" and strapped on a pair of vintage ski is so that they might enjoy the winter wonderland together, his
friend not being experienced with snowboarding. Later that evening, the 'friend' really showed his appreciation for Jambo's sacrifice."

FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 12, 2007: The Full Packer Report is saddened to report the passing of famed writer and antiwar activist Kurt Vonnegut. According to this mornings AP wire, “Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday. He was 84.”

Vonnegut was an existentialist in every sense of the word. While not a religious or spiritual soul, he believed in the individual and the virtues of free-thought. There is something very sad about a writer dying. You think about the words that will no longer be written, the pen that will never touch paper, the ear shattering silence of the typewriter that patently waits for its owner to return.

FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 10, 2007: Spring is here and the ice is breaking up. It’s time to put the racks on the trucks and strap down the kayaks and canoes. The first scheduled kayaking expedition is April 18 on the Moose River, Old Forge, NY.

FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 6, 2007: The staff and management here at the Full Packer Report would like to wish everyone a blessed and safe Easter Holiday.

FULL PACKER PRESS RELEASE: April 5, 2007: In preparation for this years kayaking trip, it is recommended that physical training begin immediately for those who have let themselves go over the winter. Also, touring kayaks have limited storage space and so only essentials should be packed. It is highly recommended that alcohol, transistor radios and Rocketman’s traveling library stay at basecamp.
