"Exhausted Roosters" Club, 1992



Catchy acronyms are everywhere. I have heard and seen many over the years, mostly funny more than serious. One that comes to mind was a group on Amateur Radio that I used to talk to - they were known as the NOTHING - "Nitwits Over The Hill Inspirational Nut Group". Funny.

Baldwyn had its' share of colorful characters also, as seen in the photos. These were serious people in their heyday but when retired, took on a completely different, humorous nature.

Morning coffee groups are prevalent in all locations, and their group names are meant to be descriptive and colorful. So were the "Exhausted Roosters".

Some are now gone on to a new group, and a few are still around. Great group of guys...

Some of us remaining roosters are not entirely exhausted yet, but we are working on it. HMMMM....

well, carl, exhausted roosters can be referred to in 2 ways.

Exhausted from doing what roosters do, or (2) exhausted and can't do what roosters do!

My comb still gets red occasionally, but so what. I just fly up on a fence and start crowing!

These men were the "pillar of the community" and did so much good for the town.

May the ones who have gone on find peace and rest for their toils.
