Thinking of Field Day

After learning that Bob Hamel had died:

I started thinking about ham radio and Field Day which I associate with Bob and the rest of the Glen Gates Gang ( Mr. Gates was our physics teacher at Nicolet High School):

One thing about the way the Glen Gates Gang operated on Field Day was that we were expected to spend the whole event on site which was well over 24 hours.  So normally I'd bring a sleeping bag, a tent, lots of beverages and all the other stuff that might be needed on a mini-camping trip.  I usually ate sandwiches and always would get what we called:  egg bread but today is referred to as challah or maybe brioche ?  As I recall we used to get Heinemann's egg bread, good stuff.  

Anyway, thinking of egg bread made me want some - I've never seen it for sale at Mann's here on the island.  So I decided to make some using this recipe by a friend's Dad:

Of course I cut the recipe down and made some changes but it reminds me of the old days:

nice and soft and squishy and slightly yellow, that's egg bread to me
