So Larry, who are those scouts? Let me guess, is Ron Lype one of them?

Jane Ringo (Maupin)

Regarding Larry's scout picture:  Kind of looks like Bob Knapp on the far right.  

Patti Perry (Daubs)

Thanks so much for all of your work to keep this site going, Milan. I think the little cub/boy scout second from left sure looks like George Davies. 

You asked about how winter was going for everyone; I think even hardy Wisconinites are tired of the cold and snow - no January thaw. We haven't seen the bare ground since before Christmas. I do like living in this area; I enjoy 4 different seasons, even though some are too short and some are too long.

Happy Birthday George Gilmore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like having 4 seasons. But I'd rather Spring be 5 months, Summer 1 month, Autumn 5 months and Winter 1 month. :)

Mary Ann Wilson (Eiff)

In Eastern TN, we have almost 5 months of Spring, maybe 1.5 months of Summer, 5 months of Fall and 2 weeks of winter.  We love it!!  AND the taxes are very low for retirees!

Happy Birthday Bill Evans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Milan, Regarding the Cub Scout Photo that Larry submitted, Steve Barrow is on the far left, and Patti is correct with George Davies being next and of course Larry Kerran and than Ronnie Lype.  I am not sure on the last person, Jane may be right on that one.  

For the record, I was in Cub Scout Pack 24 at Emerson School.

Larry Keeran

Thanks Allan.  Some faces have left my memory.

Bob Knapp

Jane is correct, I am the guy on the right and thanks to Larry for preserving this historic moment! :-)
