THE COACHMEN CLUB: SETTING COURSE FOR
THE MILL SUPPER CLUB
Day 3 Dinner Excursion. 
​It’s time to head across the water for one of our favorite stops of the trip! We’ll be trading the lakeside views of Stone Harbor for the rustic charm and historic vibe of The Mill Supper Club. Here is everything you need to know for this evening’s outing.

THE ROUTE From: Stone Harbor Resort To: The Mill Supper Club (4128 WI-42 / WI-57)

The Drive: It’s a quick, scenic 4-mile drive. We’ll head North through town and cross the Michigan Street Bridge.

Arrival: Look for the classic log building with the water wheel! If the main lot is full, there is Public Overflow Parking just a few yards further down the road.

TIMING Our table is reserved for 6:00 PM.
To account for bridge traffic and getting everyone settled, we recommend departing Stone Harbor by 5:45 PM.  

Happy Hour If you’re interested in a pre-dinner cocktail, their Happy Hour typically runs until 6:00 PM in the bar area—feel free to head over a bit earlier to enjoy the historic atmosphere!

DINNER SERVICE Get ready for a true Wisconsin tradition. The Mill is famous for its Family Style dining. 

Pass the Platters: For those ordering the signature roasted chicken, the food is served on large platters intended to be passed around the table, ensuring no one leaves hungry.

On the Menu: In addition to their family-style options, they offer excellent German fare, such as Schnitzel, and classic supper club steaks.

We look forward to sharing a great meal and a few stories with the whole group. See you there!

A Rally in Milwaukee!

"Despite the short notice, Dale Sievert's recent rally successfully brought out five Coachmen. The clear highlight was welcoming back Pete Christensen, who hasn't been able to join us for quite some time. It was wonderful to see him there! While this post will cover the rally's details, our main focus is on the star of the show: Pete Christensen!"

PETE CHRISTENSEN - WELCOME BACK!

NOW HERE IS A REALLY GOOD LOOKING COACHMEN! (PETE CHRISTENSEN) QUIETLY SELECTING SOMETHING FROM THE MENU THAT, IS GOOD FOR HIM.

PETE, (RIGHT), STILL IN DEEP CONTEMPLATION WHILE DALE (LEFT), TRIES TO STEAL ATTENTION WHILE REACHING FOR A BEER.

(L/R - BOB KATTNER, DALE SIEVERT) SOMETHING NEFARIOUS IS BEING CONJURED BY THESE TWO . . . FOR SURE.

L/ R - BOB WARRANS, SHARON MAGNUSSON, JOHN MAGNUSSON, BOB KATTNER, DALE SIEVERT AND PETE CHRISTENSEN.

"CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER SIR?"

GOOD CHOICE PETE!

All kidding aside Pete, we really love seeing you back.  I asked Dale to give you a big hug from me!  I look forward to seeing you at our next Rally sometime in the spring.  By the way we are working on an outing sometime next summer in Door County.  I hope you can make that one too.  Say HI to Donna for us! 

Harv

Even though I wasn't at the recent rally (where no pictures were taken), here is a shot taken yesterday at the Edmonds ferry dock of some "old guy" and a rainbow.  I thought it was kind of Picturesque. Stay well and my very best wishes to you all.

"Nice picture Tom, you are looking great!"

COACHMEN RALLY SEPTEMBE 20, 2025

Great turnout at the Rally!  Seventeen attendees.  I don't think it is a record but it is close.  I'll attempt to capture the major elements of the weekend and throw in a bit of BS as usual.

The afternoon was a bit wet.  Sporatic rain showers -  but we didn't let it bother us.  Paul and Karen did such a nice job making accomodations for the weather (whatever it turned out to be)  
​It's always fun. 
​Thank You

LOT'S OF TALK . . . NOTHING GETTING DONE

THREE CUTIES

Show your passkey.

Bobbie Kattner . . .
​I don't know where we took this picture but he belongs ANYWHERE!  
GREAT SMILE!

Here I have a nice talk with Joanne.  You all know it's total bullshit but she seems to believe me.  I suppose after she reads this it will be the LAST nice talk I have with Joanne.  
​"Que Sera Sera"

Very sweet   

ON SECOND THOUGHT, WE ARE CONSUMING BEER. VERY IMPORTANT! JUST ASK PAUL BOURIL!

YES NANCY, YOU ARE IN THE PICTURE!

VIC SCHIEGG AND TOM WALL! NICE PIC GUYS!

What a great start to the 65th Reunion! The Coachmen Club members gathered Sunday morning at the Lighthouse Inn to enjoy their traditional breakfast. For them, it's all about breakfasts to start the day and Grasshoppers to end it!

L/R JOHN HARVEY, VIC SCHIEGG, BOB WARRANS, SHARON MAGNUSSON, NANCY PARKER AND PAT CHERMAK.

The Manitowoc Yacht Club provided a stunning and elegant backdrop for our 65th Class Reunion this year, creating a wonderful atmosphere filled with fun and camaraderie.

A heartfelt thank you to Pat (Wagner) Korlesky, Joanie (Freiburg) Champeau, and the dedicated team who bring our reunion to life each year. The immense care you poured into every detail did not go unnoticed. Thank you for creating such a wonderful gathering for all of us

OUR BUFFET BEAUTIFULLY LAID OUT!

GREAT FOOD AND WONDERFUL CONVERSATION!

L/R DICK NEUSES, MARIE NEUSES, BOB KATTNER, NANCY PARKER, PAT CHERMAK, VIC SCHIEGG, PAUL BOURIL, KAREN BOURIL, DEL TORRISON, JOHN TORRISON

This is our group of Coachmen—we stick together through thick and thin! The reunion was a blast, lasting until about 3:30 PM with so many "personal" happy reunions going on all day. We had a wonderful time and am already counting down to the next one.

And speaking of the next one... ever heard of a "flash mob"? We might just have a "Flash Rally" in October just for the hell of it! Make sure you're watching the Turntable for details. Take care, and see you on the Turntable!

GOING HOME

What the hell are you doing there, Harv? - It's raining, OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!  
I love getting my picture taken!

Friday Day 3  - Going Home

"Everyone had a wonderful time. (I think Chris was complaining about a sore back, but carrying Karen's steamer trunk down the stairs was much easier.)"  "Thanks Chris, You were a great host."
Harv  

Talk about your impressive entrances.

The Carriage House - Looted . . Ahhh . . . Located just behind the Cartier Mansion.

Interior room within the Cartier.  I believe this could be the sitting room.  When the room was built the builders (thinking ahead) made a very nice space above the fireplace for a flat screen TV.

Here we see the "Library"  But, as you can see, nobody was interested in reading.  They were only interested in playing Carrom.  

This must be the Music room.  I don't think this is a real piano as the foot pedal is missing.  I think I see a crank on the right side which would make it a "player piano" Since nobody "reads" it makes sense that nobody would learn to play a real piano.  The victrola in the corner also has a crank. Must be a lot of cranky people lived here.

Although it might be hard to make out (bad picture), This is a really fine Gourmet Omelette.  

Seriously good food!  
​Marie Neuses digs in while Dick Neuses thinks "did she have to eat mine too?"

Another try at getting a good pic  . . . hey wait!  Where did that wine come from???? I didn't get wine!  What the heck?

Let's just sum it up by saying we all had a wonderful time and this was the perfect ending of a really fun trip!

Time to go Home!

Hey!
That's the wrong ship!!!!  Who's in charge???
(can't let them alone for even a minute!)
