This week we are retiring "Sucks News" and replacing it with our own Club Newspaper. We're now ALL"reporters". You are welcome to submit articles you feel might help entertain or enlighten our club members. Have a story you wish to tell? We welcome those with open arms. Send the article to me with your pictures. It will be laid out and a draft will be sent for your approval before it's published. Really simple.
In this first edition I have chosen to publish the personal profile of Skip Wallen - directly from Wikipedia. Read it and get to know Skip a bit better. (I wanted to start with MY profile but . . oh yeah . . I don't have one)
What about Sucks News? Well, it will still be accessible on the site. When you hover over "The Club PUB" a link to Sucks News will appear. Click on it to find all past articles. As of this time there are no plans to publish further articles on Sucks News.
Don't expect a Club PUB article every week. Articles will be published as they are received . . "or until I run out of ideas".
By the way, you might have noticed that "The Club PUB" is a play on words. The banner used here reminded me of The Courthouse Pub where we frequently meet in Manitowoc.
The Turntable today features "Sleepwalk" by Santo and Johnny, The flipSide includes Johnny Cash "One on the right is on the left". Remember that song? Talk about building your own car!!! Oh . . . there is also a very crafty test on the flip - Can you pass?? (Cryptic message to Dick Neuses . . . Don't worry Dick . . . I won't tell them who's test this is) And now, welcome to the first post on "The Club Pub". A PROFILE - Skip Wallen
Well, that's a wrap!
Till Next week / be safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!
