2011 YLRL Convention

2011 YLRL Convention

July 21st ~ 24th Boston, MA

Some memories from from Carol K4SAF:

This lady showed up for our Charter Bus. I don’t recall her name now, but I wrote to her after convention so I knew it then. The bus company put her on the wrong charter bus. She only wanted to spend her day off work at the beach on a hot July day. Instead she chose to go with our group to various museums, Cape Cod, bag lunch outside. I bought her a shirt at the Marconi Museum, because she was cold as she had on only a tank top. She was so positive about the mistake and actually seemed to be enjoying her day with us bunch of hams! I’m not sure I could have been as positive as she was in the same situation.

The 2011 Rowdy’s Convention Song

Sung to the tune of “Yankee Doodle Dandy”

YLRL came to Boston, 

Just to ride the trolley.
Put their backpacks on their back. 

Everyone was jolly.

Chorus: 

YLRL keep it up! 

YLRL’s dandy! 

YLRL we have fun. 

As long as we have candy.

We are happy to be here. 

Right through the construction.
Over the bridge and roundabout 

Was almost our destruction!

Chorus: 

YLRL keep it up! 

YLRL’s dandy! 

YLRL we have fun. 

As long as we have candy

Took a walk through Adam’s park.
Just to see the mansion. 

Rambled on to Old Cape Cod 

And saw Marconi’s station.

Chorus: 

YLRL keep it up! 

YLRL’s dandy! 

YLRL we have fun. 

As long as we have candy.

As we went down to Old Cape Cod, 

We found a stowaway.
Had a picnic in the park 

And Ice Cream made the day.


Business meeting, 

M tours Lots to do and see. 

YLRL is for us
We hope you will agree!

Chorus: 

YLRL keep it up! 

YLRL’s dandy! 

YLRL we have fun. 

As long as we have candy.
