.
Updates from the June 27th meeting at Carol Pagel Haider’s and today’s follow-up visit at the Crystal VFW...........
1. Event hours: 4-11 PM, with set-up access available throughout the day beforehand.
2. We will have the entire lower level for our gathering, with a full bar / bar-tender provided, and access to the upstairs dining and entertainment area. We are in continuing discussion about the provision of live music upstairs that evening.
3. The intent is keep things as simple as possible for the gathering: register and pay-at-the-door is OK; simple name tags and a hand stamp (Sue Wehr has located one); no centerpieces; no door prizes; a celebration birthday cake for all the 70year-olds; and some bar snacks and munchies available on tables. Bill Binder has volunteered to secure a full sheet cake and a few balloons.
4. Those wishing to eat dinner at the club are strongly encouraged to phone in a reservation request (763-537-9914): kitchen closes 9 PM.
5. Tables in use will primarily be rounds, with limited rectangular tables available for other uses. A/V equipment is onsite, but limited. Our memorial for departed classmates will be updated and displayed.
6. A brief intro and “program” with announcements will take place around 7 PM.
7. A request has been made by the family of Diane and Duane Witherspoon to provide a space to feature their music, which interested parties might purchase. The request will be granted.
I think this sums it up......sorry if I missed something. Terry T.

2018 reunion gathering / 70th birthday party.
Hi all......
I have confirmed an arrangement with the Crystal VFW to have our reunion gathering / 70th birthday party there on
SATURDAY, August 25th, 2018.
The near unanimous preference of a Saturday versus Friday gathering was the basis for the switch. We will work with the club to see about having a band in the house that Saturday.
Our next decision is about what time span to select for the gathering that day. I'm told the room will be ours for the day, so we need to consider a start time. I thought about a 4 - 11 time frame that would allow for early dining (for those wishing to do so), as well as an earlier end point for those who no longer favor late nights. Perhaps we should meet once more in October to settle this, then full scale promotion can begin.
Terry Tompkins Sept. 2016 - North Shore: Grand Portage, Grand Marais and Two Harbors. LOVE Lake Superior!

Daydreaming out the classroom window on rainy days was probably the reason my report cards weren't in my favor. It didn't matter what year Columbus discovered America. What truly mattered was that it that very year of 1964, John, Paul, George, and Ringo discovered America.
I was, however, keenly interested in Lewis and Clark. Perhaps it was because the TV program "Bucky Beaver" made their history so interesting. We used to watch Bucky in school. The teacher would wheel in the TV on a tall stand, plug it in, and away we'd go into PBS history. Click here for more...
Wiesenberg-Neiman, Judith Rose (Sugarplum) 5/24/48 to 4/13/15 Judy is survived by her mother, Eva Wiesenberg, her mother-in-law, Dolores Neiman, her husband and daughters, Bill, Becky, and Maurine, and granddaughter, Emma Dryer Neiman, and step-grand-daughter, Frieda Kenyon Brown, and brother, Michael Wiesen-berg, as well as a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws. Judy was a woman whose inner and outer beauty were singular in this world.
She lavished love upon others, and that love was returned many times over. Judy's capacity to love provided her with the skills to be a beloved therapist for 27 years for hundreds of grateful and healing patients at the Aspen/ Allina Clinic in Bloomington. Judy's greatest joy and love in this world was for her family and friends. With her husband, Bill, Judy raised twin girls, Becky and Maurine (fraternal twins), whose inner and outer beauty as well as their accomplish-ments reflect their mother. Mother and daughters were the best and most intimate of friends. Bill and Judy were married 46 years. There were challenges, but Judy and Bill had a vibrant, loving, ever-growing relation-ship. Indeed, the last six years were so strong and vital that Judy and Bill often joked about the first 40 being the toughest. What best captures Judy's core/life affirming spirit was her response to her pancreatic cancer. Despite the discomfort, pain, and occasional hospitali-zations during this period, Judy told her best friend, Nancy, that this was one of the happiest times in her life because she had never been so able to give and receive love. And love poured in-from family, friends, doctors, nurses, and many others who crossed Judy's path during these months of challenges, great and small. Minnesota Oncology and the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute and the Abbott-Northwestern-Hospital as well as Allina Home Health Care nurses were kind, supportive, and skilled beyond words. Memorials should be directed, in Judy's name, to: Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, Abbott-Northwestern Hospital Foundation, 800 E. 28th St., 16509, Mpls, MN 55407. There is a gaping pit in the hearts of those who knew and loved Judy, a hole that cannot be filled. We have accepted that space and have pledged together to internalize both Judy's love for others, her commitment to self-develop-ment and growth, and her embrace of the present, all to fully live the balance of our lives.

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? "Ma'am," the officer replies, you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two miles an hour! "The old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time, "the officer asks. Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119......... for more jokes click here
