The Dedication was lots of fun. Several hundred people were in attendance. Skip was really busy so we didn't have much time to talk. I saw Lynn Wallen flash by once that's it! I think she was busier than Skip! It was obvious that the entire SOTR crew worked hard for this event (including providing mosquito spray and cold bottles of water to the attendees).

We have pictures of our lunch and of the event in PICTURESQUE! Make sure you stop by!

The Turntable - Roy Orbison & The Everly Brothers /  The Flipside - The Eagles, Frankie Valli and a special "My Song" post from Gary to Barb Heiman / PICTURESQUE! Quick overview of our our dedication visit  The Club Pub - Could the new Apple Watch be a life saving device?

"Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" is a doo-wop style hit song from 1961 co-written (with Gerry Goffin) and recorded by Barry Mann. The song was originally released as a single on the ABC-Paramountlabel (10237).

The Marcels was an American doo-wop group known for turning popular music songs into rock and roll. The group formed in 1959 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and signed to Colpix Records with lead Cornelius Harp, bass Fred Johnson, Gene Bricker, Ron Mundy, and Richard Knauss. The group was named after a popular hair style of the day, the marcel wave,[1][2]

"Runaway" is a number-one Billboard Hot 100 song made famous by Del Shannon in 1961. It was written by Shannon and keyboardist Max Crook, and became a major international hit. It is No. 472 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, compiled in 2010.

Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter. One of the pioneers of rock and roll music, Domino sold more than 65 million records.[2] Between 1955 and 1960, he had eleven Top 10 hits.[3] His humility and shyness may be one reason his contribution to the genre has been overlooked.[4

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! - Dedication in one week! Sunday 09-16-2018

Spirit of the Rivers

Organizers participating in the ground-breaking ceremony 06/18/2018 were: First Row: Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels, Carole Witt Starck, Carol Wergin, Lynn Wallen, Artist, R. T. Wallen, Judy Goodchild and Two Rivers City Manager Greg Buckley. Second Row: Larry Corrado, Paul Steinbrecher, Tom Van Horn, Kerry Trask, Joe Metzen and Steve Hamann

Our Coachmen rally will be held at the Lighthouse Inn at 11:30AM on Sunday Sept 16. After lunch we'll drive to Aurora Clinic to park. Then take a shuttle to the event.

Confirmed for Lunch
Ken & Pat Chermak (plus 2)
Dick & Marie Neuses
John & Del Torrison
Bob & Grady Warrens
Pete & Donna Christensen
John & Sharon Magnussen
Barb & Gary Heiman
Bob Kattner
Dale Sievert
John & Joan Harvey

Quick Agenda
Carol Wergin
"The Menominee Drumming Circle starts at 1:30 and plays until 2:00 when the program begins. We tried to keep it to under one hour, but are realistic and expect that it'll run a little over that. Earl Meshigaud, a decedent of Chief Mishicot and a Potawatomi will do a blessing at 2:00. And, Cristina Danforth, an Oneida will be one of the speakers, so we've got three of the 11 Wisconsin tribes involved in the program!"

"So, I'd say it would be best to leave the restaurant by 1:00. We'll have a shuttle that picks up at the Aurora Clinic (no parking at the Hospital) and neighboring parking lots - HFMMC Woodland Clinic and Orion if the crowd grows. It might be very helpful to bring lawn chairs. At least I'd be more comfortable!"

Comment from Skip - "You might want to bring along lawn chairs and a jacket or sweater in case there is a wind off Lake Michigan".

Dinner anyone?
We understand that many of you may have other plans for the evening but the opportunity to get together does not come around often so if you would like to go out to dinner after the event let me know. So far John, Del, Joan & I will be there. The question is "where is THERE". Could be The Lighthouse Inn . . Machut's Supper Club . . any ideas?

I wish everyone could attend the dedication but realize travel distances are prohibitive for many club members. We'll make sure to take lots of pictures.  Hopefully they'll fill PICTURESQUE! for the next month!

As I reported a couple of weeks ago, Joan and I bought a new Traeger Smoker grill. So far we have cooked chicken, pork chops, a pork roast, and several filet mignon steaks. I must say, we love the grill. I think the "integrated temp probes" are the most valuable tools we gained with this grill which help cook food more accurately. Steaks medium rare 130/135 degrees THE BEST!

The Traeger Smoker has encouraged us to pursue seasoned rubs, brining and marinating. A nice variety of wood chip fuel adds to the flavor of what's cooking.

Do I sound like a chef yet?

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

 HAPPY

YEP! TODAY WE WILL BE COOKING ON OUR NEW SMOKER GRILL

Although the smoker has somewhat complicated our outdoor cooking process, we feel good about the purchase. We'll keep you posted!

OK now down to business!
