WECATON NEWS REPORT !!! 02 OCTOBER 2004 --- EXCITEMENT ABOUNDS
Each day, I'm receiving more phone calls, more e-mails, and even postal cards, in regard to our impending alumni weekend. We're all so excited, we can barely stand it, aren't we?
In any case, today's little note is prompted by a call from 1961's GARY R. FRANK and ROBERT W. BRANE. We all chatted for about 15 minutes, just during the past hour. It seems that Gary has approached the proprietor of the old site of the The Tenderloin, in Moraine City, which is now known as Fricker's. Many of you will recall that a few of us wound up at that very place, after last year's dinner/ dance event, where we spent an addtional couple of hours, reminiscing and visiting. It was great fun!
Well, Gary has asked the guy to set aside some space for us, following the Friday night Frisch's Frolic. I think Frisch's will close about 11, I'm not sure. But last year, we had a place to go, opting to crash the 1959 class reunion, at the old high school building. That was yet more fun, and the night rolled forward very successfully.
This Frisch's deal, which is the preamble to our crown jewel event on the following eve, was the brain child of 1960's MICHAEL S. WEST and our local liaison for it is 1958's WILLIAM R. HOWARD. It is just in its second year and is proving to be wildly popular. So bear this in mind, folks, and save a little time and energy to pop over to Fricker's, once we've all left Frisch's. Thanks for the great idea, Gary, and we'll all see each other soon.
On a closing note and with a sadness in my heart which I can barely describe, I must advise you all that our grandest and most gracious of ladies, 1960 alumnus EULA FAYE BAILEY, is unable to join us, after all. She's in constant pain with the severe problems of her neck and shoulder and she is unable to travel. I could nearly cry, every time I think of that. It's not going to be the same, at all, with her not there. We will all have to sign a big card for her, or something. Oh, how we'll miss YOU, Eula Faye, and take wonderful care of yourself!
--And there you have it! More at 11--- B
