23) 12-19-19 --- Millersburg, Pa., Rise of Skywalker Twin Valley Colonnade (1st of two Episode IX Troops this weekend...)

 

The theater treated us like royalty and started us off with our own private screening, after which we suited up to greet attendees for the first public showings.

24) 12-22-19 --- Mt. Pocono, Pa., Rise of Skywalker at Casino Theater & Malt Shop (2nd of two Episode IX Troops this weekend...)

 

 

This indie Mom-and-Pop theater (a dying breed, sadly) also had a small restaurant, so naturally we had to conquer the kitchen, as well...

28) 7-18-20 Bloomsburg, Pa. Children's Museum.

 

It's been ages, but finally did a (somewhat pandemic-compromised) Troop this weekend!

 

The diminutive Jawa right in front of the Tusken is my Grandson Jed.

 

Checking for identification.  (We didn't need to see his identification.)

 

That's my wife, Sally, in the olive officer uniform.

29) 8-1-20 Topton, Pa., Hospice Visit

 

This weekend members of our Garrison visited Joe, an adult hospice patient and lifelong "Star Wars" fan, whose wish was to have a bit of quality time with his favorite characters.  He had no idea this had been set up or that we were coming, so you can imagine his surprise when we marched up outside his window.  We couldn't go inside, of course, but we could talk to him via one of the event host's cell phone on speaker.  We even got our own Imperial Shuttle to take us from the changing room to Joe's side of the campus.

 

 

We visited with Joe for about a half hour or so, and he was thrilled.

 

This was my first Hospice Troop, and I'll never forget it.
