          I resemble that remark. We're just called "Terrapins".

            Our creed:

            Turtles are bright eyed, bushy tailed, fearless and unafraid folk with a fighter pilot attitude. They think clean, have fun a lot, and recognize the fact that you never get anyplace in life worthwhile unless you stick your neck out.
            You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number
            of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...

              Earlier I had found my old membership card from the 70's in an old wallet. Just had to see if there were any brothers on here.

                Dad was an original, I just follow in his footsteps. As they say, none the less, ybysaIa.

                  Is this a rather slow moving Masonic group?

                    I had forgotton about this group. Didn't someone once ask an Astronaut if he was a member back in the 60's or 70's?

                      A 'bushy tailed' Turtle sounds a bit frightening! Mad scientist experiment gone horribly wrong?

                              Isn't there a secret handshake and a silly hat involved here?
