The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.) is the largest fraternal organization in the world. The elk was chose in 1868 because it is distinguished, fleet of foot and timorous of wrongdoing. Our four cardinal principles are Charity, Justice, Fidelity and Brotherly Love. An Elk today is an American gentleman. (Kiss) Livermore, California

Television cameramen are a special breed. When you read something in a book you say that's someone's opinion. When you see it on TV you say that's gospel. I have one minute, thirty seconds to make a statement., It had to be accurate, it has to be the truth.

Everywhere we go we challenge the local high school team to a game. We let them win. It's all for charity. Points don't count unless you shoot from the back of the donkey. Donkeys are dumb and uncooperative, and they really hate to move. Livermore, California
