Title: Robert Shurtleff a.k.a. Deborah Sampson
Post by: VietVet on March 03, 2024, 12:33:14 PM
After a few rounds by our "Bartenders" I overheard others talking about "Dangerous Old Women". I joined in the conversation and asked why nobody mentioned ROBERT SHUTTLEFF.

Most laughed and said "We're talking about women". I agreed and told them about "Her".

If interested here's a good read:

The rest of the night "Refreshments" were on them.  :beer:
