Homecoming 2012

Okay you salmon heads......homecoming this weekend.  Dont know who's been reading this thing, but someone is.  Go to Kelly's, identify yourself, and I'll buy ya' a beer.  Or two.  See ya' there.....

We're getting the band back together....

Yup. tell your friends and neighbors....UW Oshkosh homecoming is just around the corner.....Oct 12-13-14...make those plans early.  See ya at Kelly's.....

Well, it's only been about 9 months since there were any posts on here.....is there anyone still out there checking on this thing?????? If there is, please reply in the next few days or it'll be gone forever, somewhere out into cyberspace.....

Doesn't seem that long ago that we were all in Oshkosh for the gala event...a big sorry to those of you who I meant to stay in touch but didn't, but sometimes life happens......

Oct 23 is the 2010 Homecoming date for those of you planning to attend--Bunch of us are planning to make the trip, so hope to see you all there.....

Wishing you all the Happiest of Holiday Seasons.....Just kinda thinking about those holiday parties back at N. Scott----Good times......

Okay, there appear to be about 9 or 10 of you out there still checking out this blog----and I applaud you all!!!! You may just want to keep an eye on this as we may have something new posted here in the next few weeks (we shall see--and try). Good day!!!

Chuck and Russ and Paul here....

Looks like Mel ,Paul and Lisa......

Cheryl and Chuck...

The gang at dinner at Fratello's---

Russ and Chuck...

Kathy and Noreen and Wendy!!!!

Let's see here, we've got Laurie and Mary and Julie, then Dan and Chris and Chuck and Gene getting a much needed shot, Dan and the world famous Magnet dog, and finally Paul being Paul--I think it was the fish too. Guess this is going to do it---pictures came out bad, I can't get the one from the Wenz up here (SORRY!!!). No Ricky and Amy, or Noreen and Wendy, or other Wendy, and a few others, sorry about that. I'll check the email every so often, so try and stay in touch---was real happy to see you all, hope we can do it again someday---ya' know, seems longer than a week ago I was in Ohskosh......

Here we have Lisa, Paul, Markie and Doug, next up isPhil and Cheryl,followed by Mary, Gaye and Chris, and finally Dave....

Here we have Dan and Chris, Phil and Cheryl, Jamie, Faye and Mary, Kevin, and finally Markie Anna. Will try and get some more pics up later---appear to be not of the greatest quality, will see what 'magic ' we can accomplish.....if any other pictures come in I will get them on here ASAP.

There appear to be more pictures here than I thought, may take longer than I anticipated----these are some gems, look how everyone looks after two days and nights of partying, then bright flashes in a dark bar.....We have Cathie and chuck, Phil and Cheryl,Hal and Thad,and a couple of shots of Doug and Carolyn--no they are not napping in that one. Long weekend........

Alright we're going to try and wrap this up here.....Looks like we have Mike and Ann here, I think that is Gaye and Laurie, then Chuck, Russ and a little bit of Gene, Chuck showing off Mike's Super bowl ring (dreaming...), and finally Mose, Gene, Chuck and Russ.

Slowly (very) but surely----Looks like Mary and Julie, next Kristine, Lisa, Deb, Kathy and Cathie,next up Jamie and Faye, and finally Paul signing our new ceiling tile as Chuck and Lisa observe. Hope they finally installed it---not as of 11 pm on Sat the 17th.....couple of ideas floating around should we attempt this again. Don't know if anything will materialize, but I will try and keep everyone informed---let us know if you'd be interested in getting together again someday. TTFN.

Slowly but surely getting these bictures on to the blog....Little shot of the patio at Kelley's (I could say that is Scott in the background--I could, but I'd be lying), then we have Mel, Hal and Gaye, and finally Thad. I've been thinking about the past weekend, and I must say I am a bit dissappointed in myself for not spending more time with everyone to find out what they are up to, etc. Think I was just trying to touch base with everyone --never really went in depth. Oh well, hearing everything second and third hand now....Thanks to everyone (again) for the beers and cocktails and shots---few more days and I should be all recovered.......

Here's Lisa and Paul (I must be out of practice....)

Well, need to start somewhere with these pictures so her we go.....looks like we have Kathy and Cheryl here.then Lisa and Paul, and finally Russ showing off Mikes Super Bowl ring---there will be more of those to follow. The votes have been tabulated for some major a-wards from the reunion, so we'll anounce a few of those here now as well---Furthest travel----Must be Phil and Kevin from the Twin Cities. Biggest surprise arrival---Has to be Laurie and Jeff---decided to come up from Verona about 4ish on Friday....Good for you (and nice pictures!!!). Happiest to get his/her stuff back--probably Dave--Thirty years waiting for your Pure Prairie League album to return, priceless....That's it for now, more to come, eagerly awaiting pictures from others.....

Thanks Chuck

I think I can speak for all who were in attendance - THANKS CHUCK!  Thanks for the idea, for your persistent detective work tracking people down, entertaining posts on the blog and getting us together.  It was awesome so see all the old friends and worth all the effort that was done.

Also, thanks to everyone that showed up!  Seeing all of you reminded me of how lucky we were to go through some great years with a great bunch of people.  Hope you all keep in touch and we can meet at other events in the future.  Shoobie

What a wonderful weekend....great to see everyone. Hope you all had as good a time as I did. I guess it's true when they say the more things change, the more they stay the same. I'll get pictures up over the next few days or so. Thanks to all for coming!!

Okay people, we have arrived at D-Day. Can't wait to see who we will see. If you need to reach us call 262-617-5303----don't text, leave a clear message if we don't answer....See you in Oshkosh!!!!

Well gang, this is going to about do it....have run out of pictures, and run out of days. All alums of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (well, except for Ed). All have been tracked down and invited.....don't know how many are coming, we shall see. Looking forward to a great weekend. Everybody travel safe, watch the speed, and we will have a wonderful time. See you tomorrow or Saturday....

Can't believe we're down to one day before Homecoming weekend.....a few last pictures from Dan here-----we got Dan, Chuck, Phil (there must be dozens of these pictures of people taking pictures of people around), Ricky and Gene, and finally my old roomie Oscar. Think he is in FLA (I know he is, actually), but never saw him again after the golf outing in the summer of '79 we we went through 3 carts and a case and a half in 18 holes.....

THIS JUST IN FROM SHOOBIE (WHO HAS FRIENDS EVERYWHERE)--KELLEY'S TO OPEN AT 9AM ON SATURDAY FOR BREAKFAST AND BLOODY MARYS. YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIRED.....

Had to go to the liquor store to get some supplies....decided what I'm not getting by remembering these pics.....A big no to the Old Style, pass on the Special Export, think I've finally outgrown the "Coopers"---thought about the Old Crow, but my stomach actually began to turn.......

Not going to have any mixers, or green beer, or Southern Comfort--too sweet--, nothing I have to drink out of a hunk of fruit, and no Miller Lite.....
