It was 95 (I think) when GA made the attempt to begin to join the rest of the civilized world. I suspected the "covert" part was related to a date function. I do know that many CH people were frequently found at amber waves (sniff! ) as I ran into them often.<br>

when I joined in '91 homebrewing was still illegal in GA (being the enlightened, non-corrupt state that we are). there was a guy (forget his name) who was an club officer at the time (one of the founders/president, I believe) who was a Dr (MD) in the Navy at the time at the NAS who, had he ever been "busted" for his extra-curricular activities would have been in deep shtuff w/the Navy. according to him they didn't care about people brewing (off-base) but frowned on officers getting arrested by local authorities no matter how idiotic the law.<br>
<br>hence the club's name: "Covert Hops" :D<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="Ih2E3d">2008/12/8 Jim Kinney <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com" target="_blank">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

I suspect it has something to do with AmberWaves...<div><div></div><div><br><br>-- <br>-- <br>James P. Kinney III <br><br>
