RALLY AUGUST 17, 2024
A visit with Skip
On Friday, the day before the Rally, those of us who stayed at the Lighthouse Inn in Two Rivers, went to visit Skip. Skip asked me to say HI! to all of you. Please consider a short visit with him when you have time available.
Check with Lynn.
Our Rally at the Courthouse PUB
That car in the background is on a TV monitor and was programmed by the folks at the PUB. There were many other pictures playing is a sequence including our club picture back in the 60's with our cars at Silver Creek Park in Manitowoc. Our logo was stamped on all the menus'
The Wharf
After lunch we all went down to the WHARF. It is an open air PUB on the River just across from the Manitowoc Submarine.
Time out!
After our WHARF adventure we went to "Time Out" which is at the end of Waldo across from the Lutheran HS. It used to be a bar with a plane seemingly crashed into the roof of the cafe.
They had really good food there.
It's a great place to get a fish dinner or pizza. We had a great time.
After this event, Del Torrison invited us over to their house for home made grasshoppers.
I know I speak for the whole group when I say THANK YOU JOHN AND DEL! It was a wonderful way to end the day.
The Grasshoppers were delicious!
PLANNING AHEAD!
We're planning another event for September 14th (the day before the class reunion). I hope you can make it. There will be more on the Turntable in the coming weeks.

This was a cruise from St Louis to Red Wing. Wonderful trip with perfect weather! Good time with Vic and Nancy! So glad they invited me! I had never been to Red Wing. What a neat town!
BobKat
We'll take your word for it, Bob! I'm sure the scenery was beautiful. I'm impressed that you chose this particular picture from all the "Red Wing" shots and river scenery you could have sent.
Bob's point is that they took a Coachmen tradition on the trip. Notice the drinks in their hands. You're right, Grasshoppers!
You missed out if you attended a Coachmen Rally and did not have a Grasshopper toast with the group. Let me know, and we'll ensure you get the opportunity next time!
So if the Club will join me by picking up a Grasshopper and lifting their glass . . .
HERE'S TO YOU, VIC, AND BOB.
"MAY WE ALWAYS MANAGE TO DRINK MORE THAN WE SPILL!"

Dale Sievert's Birthday Party |
A motley group of miscreants if I do say so! The secret is out, Dale is 81! Who hides their age at this point anyway???
Good picture, looks like they all had fun!

Coachmen Rally held on July 29, 2023 |
After our visit with Skip we went to Green Street Tavern for a light dinner after which we went to the Courthouse PUB for Grasshoppers.
The Courthouse is our chosen spot for our Rally. Notice the picture on the wall. That is a "Picture TV" We had nothing to do with setting that up. I'm giving credit to Kerry, banquet manager and Jackie, my favorate bartender, for making that happen. They must have pulled the picture off our website and transferred it to the TV.
This picture was taken after we left the PUB for downtown Manitowoc. Possibly at the Wharf? I'm pretty sure those are NOT condiments I'm holding.
At about 5:00 PM we went to the Pizza Garden for dinner. Always fun, this is the reincarnation of the "Original Pizza Garden" that arrived in Manitowoc around 1958 or 59. For many of us that was the first time we experienced Pizza. This new Pizza Garden is located on the east side of 8th street about a block north of Beerntsen's. Original recipes , great pizza.
Here we are again. You guessed it . . . the Courthouse for Grasshoppers. A little chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass. Mixed cream demint, cream decoke, and lots of vanilla ice cream with a bit of whipped cream (sometime a marchino cherry on top). Mmmmm GOOD! The Club PUB knows how to make them!
For those still standing, we meet at the Lighthouse Inn on Sunday morning for a fun breakfast and conversation.
This was a fun Rally and there were no injuries or fatalities in the group. (always good to know at our age).
The invitations for the next Lincoln HS class Reunion are now being mailed. The Reunion is scheduled for September 17. If everyone is in agreement, we will schedule this years final Rally for Saturday the 16th.

Hey Pete!
thanks for the pictures. I could have given you a "heartier thank you" if you gave me a bit more information. I will leave it to the club to identify the folks in this picture. I do know that Mary is right in the middle center and You are (kind of) taking advantage?
Your call.
Here is Mary clapping to the beat (I think) of what Jerry Leyendecker is playing. Pete is in the back right . . . not paying much attention.
Here is the Comet's own version of the "Lemon Sisters" (hope I got that right this time. I Could never remember the their name)
So far Jerry has not dropped his sax and Mary is giving him encouragement. Pete is still not paying attention!
On a serious note,
this was a fun event for the Comets. I wish I could have been there too.
Sadly It's my information that Jerry Leyendecker is not doing well. I can't get in touch with him. If I learn something I will let the club know.
Peter,
thank you for the pictures. I think everyone will enjoy seeing them in spite of my (intelligent) but, offhand remarks.

Today we share the fun events had at the Rally in Manitowoc on Saturday September 17 and the Reunion held on Sunday the 18th.
Lots to cover so let's get started.
The Coachmen's Rally - 11:30AM on Saturday September 17
Our rallies are always held at the Courthouse PUB. Kerry and Jaquline Take good care of us. Kerry prepares the banquet area. Jackie makes good drinks right?
The PetSkull Brewery on 10th street
We left the Courthouse Pub at about 2:00 pm to embark on a much more important venue. Drinking Craft beer at local brewing spots. We started at the PetSkull Brewery on 10th street.
The Pizza Garden on North 8th street
Final stop of the day. The "Original Pizza Garden" They claim to be the same Pizza Garden that started in Manitowoc in 1959? I, personally, never heard of "PIZZA" until the Pizza Garden came to town. They tell us they are using the original recipes they used back in the beginning.
DAY TWO - THE REUNION!
Giving credit where credit is due - I must give a hand to all the Coachmen, who were still upright and thinking properly, for attending this important event. I must say, this was fun too!
Paul & Karen Bouril's Outdoor Event
Thanks go out to Darlene (Olson) Haertlein for most of the pictures presented below. I expect that by now, most of our Coachmen group were dragging a bit.
In summary, the two days just flew by. The only hiccup I can think of was that after our pizza event we usually go \to the Courthouse PUB for Grasshoppers. For some odd reason everyone just went home. Except for Sharon (Prickett) Meany who went over to the courthouse PUB to await the arrival of our club members. Nobody came.
My sincere apologies to you Sharon. By the time I got the message Joan and I were alone in the bar at the Lighthouse Inn having a grasshopper. You have one Grasshopper coming from us at our next event! Promise.
be safe &
I'll see you on the Turntable
