And, the most famous picture of all, from the very first HOPS Party:

I dont know man, I'm trying to leave the hard partying life behind
me...

That was taken at the very first HOPS Party, back before we realized
that we needed to serve something OTHER than beer and wine. Ya know,
like FOOD?

After being on the flight line all day in 90+ degree weather,
re-hydrating with beer turned out to be a rather dangerous approach.
Many of us barely made it out of Friar Tucks alive, so we decided that
(in the future) all HOPS parties would include food.
