The
picture below is the beginning of the slide show
" Lee's Reunion"
The lineup from the left is Michel Scudder,
He is retired and
lives near Houston Texas, he builds tanks and military trucks
for a hobby. In the red is me, you know enough about me. Sitting
in front of me is Tom Hamel,
 Tom manages a company with
factories in North Carolina and Ohio near here. He has
sold his interest in the company and plans to retire next
year. Sitting to my right is the elder statesman of the Roehler
cousins, Bill Scudder. Bill is retired from Chevron Oil company
and lives in the San Francisco area. Bill is 69 but looks 59.
Lastly to the right is Lee Hamel. You can see by his clothes he
is the country of the Roehler family. Lee does taxidermy and
builds antique mussel loader rifles and pistols and has a
contract with the NRA to build the guns that they give to
dignitaries at their conventions. You can see more of Lee and
his guns in the link to the left titled Hamel's.
The only cousins missing from this picture are my Brother Bob
who lives in Las Vegas, and Doreen "Purkey" Stover and her
brother Eddie Purkey who live in North Carolina.
The following pictures show the
type of tanks and trucks Mike Scudder builds just in case you
thought that he built model tanks that show up under the
Christmas tree along with a tube of glue.
Michel is a ex marine as if
you hadn't guessed and is retired from the US government where
he was a agent working primarily in Southern Texas trying to
control smugglers of illegal substances across our
southern border. I believe it was decided that Michel should
retire when he showed up for work one day driving the tank to
the left. I am sure had they allowed it smuggling in his sector
would have decreased to zero quickly.
Click on the picture to the
left for a slide show of some more of the tanks and trucks that
my cousin and his red neck friends have put together.
