BIG THANKS to Bob Miller who saved the day at the Alumni House. Alia Onaczynski was sent to pick up the Kewpee's Hamburgers & Fries for today's lunch - OOPS !!! Kewpee's was closed. Bob Miller suggested that we order the burgers & fries from Culver's, which we did. Bob not only went and picked them up but also paid for them. Can't thank Bob enough for saving the day.


Dan Horton brought a cake for Brenda's celebration. Tom Goebel brought a case of Coke.
