The rising sun shone hot on the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol cadet and staff members of the Ohio Wing 2017 Encampment.

For the next six months, we trained…

For instance, Tonka trucks are known as masculine toys whilst Barbie dolls are known as feminine toys. If a boy was seen playing with a barbie doll, he would…
