In case you hadn't heard the origination of the club's newsletter's title (The GULP), here's a little history lesson.  Back in late 1994, during the initial days and weeks of organizing the club, I was told a newsletter was an essential part of the administrative obligations.  But what to call it?  Other clubs simply called them "newsletters".  I thought a little more creativity should be applied.  So, what's the primary catalyst for a task like this that is common to all Parrot Heads in need?  Well, tequila, of course.  I happened to be sitting alone one night in a pub in Madison, WI, having a margarita, thinking about this newsletter title.  The margarita was served in a rather large goblet printed with "GULP of Mexico".  I proceeded to drink that margarita. Hmmmmm.  The GULP.... a mouthful.  Another drink.  Hmmmm, More than a mouthful.  And anudder.  Hmmmmmmmmm.  The GULP....More than a mouthful of Parrot Head tales!  That's it!  I stole the glass and still have it in my treasure chest of club memorabilia.  That's my story, and I am sticking to it!
