Any Interest? Choir Albums of the 70's

Well, less than a month to go to the reunion. In the meantime, I wanted to offer out a "shout" to former choir members. I am contemplating taking the old records we made back then, and converting them to CD. If you are interested, let me know. Just send a note to brutus@wamago78.com. If I get a handful of responses, I'll get going on it. If no one gives a hoot, then - well - you know. Thanks!

Sad news

Just to pass this along to all of you, I recently received word of two of our classmates passing:

Jeffery Schalk - Taken to Heaven suddenly on November 20, 2005, age 45. Beloved husband of Susan (nee Vader Molen). Son of Eugene Schalk and Kathryn.

Also...

Phil Ceretto - Not able to provide details.

May they rest in peace.

1) reading this blog (what are the chances of that?) or
2) hearing from somebody else who has either read from this blog (what are the chances of that?) or

Please REST ASSURED that you are invited, even if you don't get an inviation in the mail.

Play Ball!

April 8th, 1976! What a great memory... yup... skippin out of the afternoon classes, jumping on bikes, and heading over to Opening Day! The day was beautiful, too... Sunny, warm, wonderful spring day. And we opened against the Yankees! And won 5 - Zip!! It was Jeff Friedbacher and the old shack gang, together again and celebrating a Brewers' victory! Robin Yount, Sixto Lezcano, Gorman Thomas, Jim Slaton, and all those other great Brewers players. I miss that old stadium too. It was so much fun to head over to the VA and sit up there on VA Bleachers for a free game, with your radio tuned to Bob Uecker and Merle Harmon! It was cool when they would acknowledge all the fans up there on "the Hill!"

I wish the Brewers success in the coming year. In 1976, it wasn't a great ride (66-95), but we still loved our Brewers. Enjoy!

By the way, whatever happened to Bernie?
