Hi - this is Nancy Cherne, partner and caregiver for Chuck Kays, a blind Vietnam Era Vet and Director of the Florida SE Regional Group of the BVA.

Did you ever get the info you wanted about the MOC helping Blind Vets? 

My late father, Emmett G. Cherne, was a New Jersey state Commander of the VFW, national officer, and in the Cooties all my life.  My three sisters and I grew up deeply ingrained in the VFW family of Post 2179, Middletown, New Jersey.  I know their MOC were very active.

I'd be grateful if you would let us know if you were able to get some updates on the Cooties.  We still have Dad's old "uniform", and it is just beautiful!

Thank you and God bless,

Nancy Cherne

Good evening everyone,
    When I attended summer camp at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford 
onnecticut we had a number of activities sponsored by outside groups. One 
f these was an annual picnic and dance sponsored  by one of the Connecticut 
ffiliates of the military Order of the Cooties. They prepared lots of good 
ood, particularly their hamburgers, and corn-on-the-cob, (I once ate six 
ars of it at one of the Cootie Picnics), and they played some of the finest 
usic you  ever heard to permit you to dance the night away.
    They're not a group you hear much about, but I know they're still 
round. Do any of you belong to the Cooties, and are you aware of any work 
hey've done on behalf of the blind? It would be great to learn more about 
his veterans organization and of any work they may have done on behalf of 
he nation's blind. Perhaps there would be new opportunities and the 
otential for joint projects that could be undertaken if we were to acquaint 
he Military Order of the Cooties with the NFB and it's message of hope and 
t's can-do philosophy. Sempa phi.

Hello Nancy and everyone,

    I haven't gotten much information about the MOC but would like to have 
URLS to Web Sites with information about this organization. When I went to 
summer camp in the early 1970s one of the MOC Groups in Connecticut used to 
put on one hell of a picnic at Harkness Memorial State Park for the teen 
session. Their food and band were awesome! Please provide more information 
if you can.

Peter Donahue
