Toys and the Navy


In memory of our late President Tom Disinger, a group of us helped out at Capital Region Toys for Tots on Sunday, at their warehouse in Clifton Park. (They will be needing more volunteers this month and next.) Pictured are Cheryl and Bob Bonney, Bob Conner, Steve Ames, Estelle Genest, Doug Ford (from the Ballston Spa club), Dave and Pat Kruczlnicki. Behind the camera was Barbara Conner, and somehow avoiding the spotlight were Miles Cornthwaite and Tom Genest.


Toys for Tots is affiliated with the U.S. Marine Corps, which is affiliated with the U.S. Navy, in which 

our own Paul Phillips served in the 1960s, about which he told good stories as the speaker at today's meeting. He also recited from memory W.S. Gilbert's tribute to the very model of a modern major-general.
