Apparently one of the original ceremonial tests at Camp Treasure Island was
feeding the goat.

Joe Riekena presented Luther Walker, the 2006 Section Chief, for his
installation. Luther Walker swore in Joe Riekena for 2006 Section Vice
Chief. Micah West swore in Christopher Beck, the 2006 Section Secretary.

**

There was tons of spirit at Conclave this year. Nick Davis, ICE CVC, pounding the floor with his steel pipe really got things going on Friday night.

My favorite Nisqually cheer from conclave was "Bricker Bracker Buy a Cracker for your Squeeze Cheese" in reference to Sikhs Mox Lamonti's infamous cheer.
