I have a couple of buddy passes for flight within Alaska on my airline, in case anyone is thinking of coming up. I get two of these per year.

Alaska is wide open for any post-reunion get togethers of course. If you get up to the Anchorage area do not forget to call ahead of time! We'll take care of ya.

Oh, I ran into Pat Zemanek's mom on my flight home, it was on the SUX to MSP leg on Mesaba. Had a nice chat with her and told her Pat missed one helluva reunion. She was on the way up to SE Alaska to see Pat. She had to fly four legs or so and then the final one by float plane to Pat's. I need to get there myself soon as well. 

Come to think of it....gathering at Pat's lodge !!!

Mike:

If you have children of a certain age, getting together during the school year is harder than during the summer.  However, I did have a thought...

Sept 25th is North vs. West in football (at Olson...i.e. Roberts)...might be an opportunity to tailgate with our friends from North before and after the game or go out after...or something.  I see a lot of West grads like me who have kids at North (and vice versa) so a lot of us will be at the game anyway.  That's just off the top of my head.

Also...the committee will be wanting to know when/what/how/when we do our next "real" reunion.  You can shoot us a note via the "contact us" link if you have ideas on that.  Someone mentioned some "inbetween" yearly get togethers possibly at Saturday in the Park.  Mozak might be able to get us a designated area maybe.  I liked that idea.  I am sure you guys have others.

Bruce  excellant idea, I knew we kept you around for something,.lol. I am all for making an announcement so people can start making plans for that weekend. Would be cool to go back and relive some of those friday night saturday afternoon highschool clashes between north and west. So I say lets go for it and make the committment now.

Marc that is also one hell of an idea to get us all together every year and people could plan for it since it is always the same weekend every  year. And the bonus would be if you could really get Mr. Thomson to perform on that day like he said, if he remembers anyway. So lets announce that also and see how much interest we can get

Bruce if I can come up with any bright ideas (i can hear my wife now and some of you that know me saying "it is about time")about future reunions I will certainly let  you all know.

Bruce one thing you can do is put up a poll and ask when during the year would work best for everyone to have the next reunion.

Mike,

Here's a place where we could all meet.

This Todd guy . . . his head is HUGE !!!

Hell,

I got a place up there we could have a fish fry and go to the concert.  Some thing to think about.  Let me know what ya all think!

Dan

Dan that might be one hell of an idea I know I would like to do it,, so how many others would like to go. When do we need to let you know for sure Dan?

I'll be there for sure Saturday Aug 8 just need to know a Head Count.  If that's what ya all want to do.  Feel like I danced to much and didn't get to talk with alot of ya.  I am going to have a lot of family members there but their cool and ready for a fish fry!

The concert starts around 7 oclock come on up around 3. Drink some beers and eat some fish. Lot 107 Smith Trailer court across from the Wharf.  Right after you cross the bridge dividing east and west Lakes.

Sounds like a plan to me Dan, the wife and I are really considering it just need to work out a few things here. I will let you know in the next couple days for sure. And like you I think i spent more time dancing than talking, specially on friday night. And little things like this will really keep us in touch with each other.

mike

I'll be at West Okoboji in August, around the 11th thru the 18th, with my daughter. 

just a little late summer vacation etc. 

I will be consuming mass quantities of Tanguerays&Tonics on the beach so bring the limes

I'll discuss with Jules & get back with you Danny. I really want to attend the concert and the fish fry sounds good.
