Hi Gang


BIG THANKS to Dan DeMatthew and George Gordon who teamed to sponsor lunch for the gang. Of the 36 sandwiches that were served at lunch today, 12 were donated by the butcher Greg Emmrich from Danny's Meats. Greg is a St. Cat's grad Class of 1997. His only request is that we all vote for Danny's Meats, as the "Best Meat Market" in Racine County. It gets my vote. Vote early & vote often. For Dessert Pat Gordon made Brownies and Amy DeMatthew made O'Henry squares. DELICIOUS !!!

• Rick Ropiak & Jack Kelley provided cases of water.

• Bobby Letsch brought two 12 packs of soda.

Guys are asking where is "Good Guy” Winn Parkinson ??? Winn used to come to Racine once a month to have lunch and a few laughs at Hammes' Bar on Taylor Ave.

He would join UW Whitewater classmates: Ted Petrakis, Mike Mucha, Dan Bentz,

Gus Petrakis & Steve Morgan.

• Maybe Winn can get Mike and Ted to join him and Dan one Monday at the Alumni House.

Hopefully, when Win comes he would bring along Andy Schmidtman and Larry Desotell, as well. It would be great to have them all join the gang.
