I suspect coming from CA that we'll probably be travelling the furthest. Per mapquest,
2,175 miles from my home. Orlando to Greenlake is 1,384. BKH |

jbear,
Look into Madison or Milwaukee, Wi or O'hare or midway in chicago. Mojo, what do you figure drive time from madison or milwaukee. 1 1/2 hours max and from O'hare 3 hours? About 700 miles drive from Knoxville to green lake, that's a pretty good drive towing the 80 behind you. Definately look into flying out, that would be really cool to get Mr and Mrs jbear up to our neck of the woods and throw back a few old Milwaukees. |

BKH; You know what? You are correct. We will be at Norris lake in TN during those dates. And we should be spending at least 6 weeks there again this summer. So, I better get on line and start researching some flights from Knoxville to ? I don't even know where to fly into. But you are 100% correct with your last comment. Just as an aside to you guys putting this all together, me and Mrs. jbear just spent a GREAT evening with 62wood and his lovely wife Pam. What a great time! But he can't wait to get home and see where you guys are at with this reunion.

You know John, I think you need to suck it up, quit whining and come to Wisconsin for the weekend. You're going to be in Tenessee?? anyway. That's half way, and I think you're going to be there for a month or so, if I recall. So, what's one weekend? Just suck it up, buy the ticket, and get with the program
 If you fly into Milwaukee Thursday evening, we'll give you a ride. Isn't retirement supposed to be about doing what you want to do, after a life time of doing what you have to do?

Thanks BKH,,,
There are only a few more final details to confirm and we'll be able to get Keith underway with a new page to register to.... It's looking real good !!! Campers should however book as mentioned by 81' Naut.... It's the best site on the lake... Moj

For all those campers coming to Green lake this July.
The Hattie Sherwood Campground opened to take reservations as of today. They are right on the lake and are your best bet for camping for the reunion weekend. Any other camping is off the water. Contact info: Hattie Sherwood Campground 451 S. Lawson Drive Green Lake, Wi 54941 920-748-7530 Ask for Jean. Reserved my site today. $25 per night with water and electric hook up. No sewer connections but they do have a dump station. There is also a boat launch on site. They are relatively small with only 39 sites so I would not wait too long to make a decision and get your spot reserved. Tell her you're with the reunion and she will try to get us all in sites next to each other. |

Paul,
No worries dude !!! It's all good as they say !! We finalized the plan, now it's down to confirming some corporate sponsorship promises, site permits, and some fun things like the entertainment.. Once we have these things confirmed and the funding worked out, and the help from Keith on a registration page, we'll be underway to a great time in Big Green.. I think the rest of the guys would agree, that no one will go home dissapointed that they made the drive !!! That's for sure... We are counting on having your 63' there Friday night as part of the kick off evening in the Park.. That enough will be a great contribution. 
Stay tuned people.......... Mojo

Our meeting at Alan's place was quite productive!As Alan mentioned,we want to wait until we see firm commitments...and let you all know whats going to take place! Some VERY cool possibilities.Dave shared info about the lake and this place is NICE!Wood sorry we missed you...hope the Fla trip went better than the start.
Alan...I got back to work on the 72....it was motivational to see what your doing with the 81! Thanks for the hospitality...and damn good pulled pork!!! Looking forward to meeting all of you making the trip! Paul...I will shoot you an email and update you on our meeting! |

Keith,
Tried a couple time to reach you through e-mail but I'm not sure it's working correctly. We have enough info from our meeting yesterday to have you get a registration page up. Please call me daytime at 1-800-661-5892 or evenings 630-556-3584 and I'll go over the whole program with you. In the meantime gang, I am putting together a tentative schedule of events and once the other planners review it we'll get it posted. We have a few exciting sponsors that we're trying to get firm commitments from in the next few weeks so the pieces will keep falling into place. Thanks to Stang and Mojo for coming out in the miserable weather. Great to finally meet you guys. |

Finally got home, got car loaded and at 5:15 got in car,ready to pull out.BUT had a dead battery :(.. Thank God a good mechanic friend had a battery in stock for it and came over and helped me install it. By that time it was almost 7 tho. so we decided to get up early Sat morning and leave.... Sorry I couldnt make the meeting! Man sooo close , well take care , I'll be back in touch in a week or so! Thanks for all "you's-guys" help!! steve

Hey Paul,
I don't have anyone beat right now, my boats in about a hundred pieces scattered throughout the garage and basement. Coming together pretty good but I'm at a standstill until we get some warm weather. Interior is done but I can't glue the carpet down, too cold. Minicraft is having a hard getting color info from CC to mix up some gelcoat so I can touch up a few chips. I need to start prepping the hull so we can restripe it, may do that this weekend but we'll see. Engine wise. it's dead stock but runs real strong. Still has less than 300 hours on the boat so I'm gonna leave it alone for now. Funny thing, only 300 hours but it's still 25 years old. Seems the more I look the more I find to fix up. Can't wait to see yours, that's a nice looking ride. |

This is awesome. I can't believe I didn't find out about this reunion until now. I don't know how I missed it. I only live about 100 miles from Green Lake. I will be there with my very red Nautique for sure. By the way, I'll bring the Sky Ski if anyone wants to have to some real fun.

Hey all,
Just a heads up from the planning scene... We are set to meet this weekend and etch the plans in for the summer's reunion. If there are any other suggestions, comments, wish list items you would like considered, please let us know this week. Come Monday, these plans will be initiated and confirmations made. Keith has been pationately waiting for our information to creat a registration page.. So if there is anything on your mind, please let us know within the next few days... All I can add for now is that with the preliminary work put in by the members helping me, this will be one of the best interactive reunions the Midwest has ever seen !!!! Updates for you next week ..... 
Mojo... |
