Thanks Steve for the updated list which was given to kathy and Nikki to begin the email and mailings. Linda was there as well to help. Everything is coming together really well. Oh and Dave you will have a lot of fun without the pun so put away your track shoes you won't have to run! So far we have about 40 classmates attending. Love to hear from more so we can save on emails/ mailings. Thanks again everyone!!

I'm hoping there is a good turn out; however, 40 is a good number to start.

Dave I just returned from a Canadian fishing trip with one of our fellow classmates Bob Dedic. Had fun despite the cold rainy weather. Caught some nice fish and released them all. Bob Deduc can show you pictures of HIS Fish but none of mine, since the camera failed to come out when I caught fish, hmm. Finally this weekend if it is nice I will get out kayaking.
I don't know about Wisconsin but the mosquitos are horrendous! Thank goodness for bug head nets! Enjoy the summer!

Bob, I know what you mean about the camera not catching a picture of my fish. I went out fishing with my 6 year old grandson (after his golf lesson- class); so it was only for a forty miniutes. Sure is beautiful today! Hope everyone is healthy and well; also, hope you are having a wonderful summer!

Dave F, I caught a couple walleyes for you up in Canada. If you're not here in 20 minutes I'm going to eat them without you.

Steve, I'm going to miss the fish, just saw your invitation. Hey, everyone (and Steve), do you remember such a green June! Looks better than a jungle.

Dave the grass is like a jungle! Should be baling instead of mowing. Glad I can hide in a screened in porch away from the hummingbird sized mosquitos! Steve B. Glad you got some nice walleye. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far. Thank you very much to those whom have responded to the reunion invitation. I know Kathy and Nikki will be sending out emails and hard copy invitations. Stay safe and healthy!

I have heard recent rumors about the Red Barn entering chapter 11 and them having stiffed at least a few wedding receptions in the process. Does anyone know anything about this and can maybe comment on it. Is it true?

I did not hear that! I will call them now! Thanks for sharing!

I just spoke with the VFW Red Barn, and she said that was not true. Can I ask where you heard it from? I will talk to the head manager on Monday and let you know what I find out!

I heard of a couple of for profit wedding venues stiffing couples (and taking the money just before closing doors).... from a local news report. One was from Isanti and the other closer... I haven't heard a VFW; but, of course I haven't heard a lot of things.

Not to repeat myself ( I know Bob 😅) I will let you know what I find out on Monday! Enjoy your weekend!

07/06/24 08:21 AM	#2540
Robert Ayre Thanks Jon for the information which will be checked out on Monday. The only information I know of is other venues not returning money to cancelled weddings. Where the people cancelled getting married. And they were expensive wedding venues not the VFW Red Barn. We will keep everyone updated on Monday. Enjoy the sunshine when it comes out!

Yvette, I'll see if I can find an acoustics technician to work on this echoing issue . . . issue . . . issue . . .

Ha Steve! I think it's my echoing problem 😁

07/07/24 08:16 AM	#2543
Robert Ayre YVETTE it's not an echo but your Babel lesson where you repeat things to learn the new language, like "shut up Bob"! Ha! Looking for some help in bringing some memorabilia to the reunion (jackets, pictures pins, etc) to display. Thank you!
