A visit to Forest City is always
exciting. Two weeks is a long time to party, though, and we are
usually worn out when we leave. We were among the first to arrive
and enjoyed greeting old friends and making new ones. Bill
wasted no time in recruiting helpers and new members. As
part of the nominating committee Gerry coulsd be assured that he
would not be drafted for a position, but he stepped up and helped
Steve as an auctioneer for our big auction and did a really nice
job. The Puckerbrush parade is always fun and the MILWITs have
a fine float. Shown below are just a few of the folks who
attended. We took one day away from the Grand National Rally
the second week to drive up to the Minneapolis area to see Gerry's
nephew Tom (and Carol) and meet his latest granddaughter, who is a
real sweetheart. After the closing ceremonies, we watched the
BIG tow trucks pull some of the RVs out of the mud from all the
rain. Luckily, we were not one of them! |
