Intro: YHC picked this Q up late Friday night. It was planned to do a BOMBS workout over in the field behind the houses across the street at Doty.

Quaker told us of Rollins edwards who was a test subject for Mustard Gas back in WW2. As you can imagine, he went through hell several times over. Not just for the initial gas, but the lasting effects it had on his body. He also suffered prejudices throughout his life and finally passed on at age 93. I’m not able to do him justice on here, but if you want a history lesson, please look him up.

In his honor, 93 Flutterkicks IC were done.
