  9. Bob Tuchel told us about an obituary that he just happened to read that mentioned Charlie Rudd, who he knew during WWII. Bob happened to be in a B-24 flying behind Charlie Rudd's when Charlie’s was destroyed by a German fighter. Obviously, the obituary brought back a lot of old memories.

  10. Jay Hoeflinger introduced our speaker, Rob Kanter, author of The Environmental Almanac, which can be heard weekly on WILL and read in the News-Gazette on Sundays.

  36. Tail Twister - Omer Benn asked Paul Hendren to carry the bucket.

  37. President Ted was fined for having won the lottery. Marvin Paulsen was fined for his trip to Hawaii (we thought he should have demonstrated some dancing in a grass skirt),
