The local American Legion Chapter here has been throwing the Annual Welcome Home Red Wings Dinner for EIGHTY years. That is something , in a world with so much change. It really is a high light of the spring season. And as a plus for the first year in many, it did not snow during the dinner. All ages, families, people who have just come for years and years. Its very nice of the McKelveys to include us every year. The WINGS open Thursday in Richmond , and the home opener is Friday April 11th. Trust me, the later it can be put off , the better. I have a 50 degree temperature limit, other than opening day.
