Yes. In the late 1970s, my troop sold more GS cookies than anyone else in the entire state. Worked their tiny little butts off. Well, we had to use to Boy Scout camp because the Girl Scout camp was in such terrible shape. Imagine my hope when we sold all these cookies!! The entire troop and I were anxious to see the improvements made in our camp; when all of a sudden that money went to other places. Western Kentucky and Lexington got all the benefit and absolutely zero of the funds came back to us. Zero!

So I wrote letters to every newspaper in the state and to the GS organization and anybody else I could think of but NO action.

We were scheduled to meet with John Y Brown that year because he was the governor of Kentucky. During that pomp and circumstance meeting, he made the mistake of asking me if there was anything he could do for our troop. It makes me smile thinking about what all I unloaded on him.

The next week, I got an official letter removing me as troop leader. Said my services were no longer needed or wanted, that year and future years.
