Ok fellers, here it is...I do have a few objections to some of the things she said and the way she said them, but for the most part its good:

Nice work, Dave!

Overall, I'd say it was a pretty good piece. Thumbs up and kudos!!

This is my favorite excerpt: "Although Hamm isn?t as obsessive as some of his fellow group members who have rooms full of ?Star Wars? memorabilia, he does have three empire costumes that he?s built with kits obtained through a special Web site. He doesn?t have ?Star Wars? figurines or spaceships and doesn?t collect posters or own any signed photographs. "

I'm obsessive?  :mrgreen:

she obviously has her own opinions.

What she asked me was:
"do you have any star wars figures?" I said "no, but my kids do" , "What about the others in your group" "Oh yeah they collect them".....

It could have turned out worse. I do think I would have worded some of it differently, but all in all it was ok. It is funny to see how she understood (or misunderstood) some of the things we talked about. Please don't anyone get offended!! It is just a small town paper with a spur-of-the-moment article.

Not too bad, gotta get past some of the wording, but it think it hit the core idea behind out group, charity, making kids smile, and a community of good people.

No offended bro.  Just thought it was funny.  Overall GREAT job Dave!  Way to represent the Garrison and Legion.  Nice job.  One small town paper is better than no paper.  I love small town news.
