I have been hoping to be able to do this and now it looks like its a go!
De and I would like to host a party/cookout at my Mom's place Thursday July 10th for everyone arriving that day or earlier. We'll fire up the grill, have a bunch of cold ones on hand (maybe a 1/4 keg of Spotted Cow?) and some damn good company (provided by others). Our family place is right off Norwegian Bay so maybe start around 4:00-ish as we come off the lake and go until 11:00-12:00 or so. There is plenty of sandy shallow water near our neighborhood's swimming pier for boat parking or the camp ground and hotels are just a 10 min car ride away. Dogs and kids are welcome, of course. So, who is in? I'd like a rough idea so I can make sure we have plenty of food and beverages. It's getting closer..... |

Steve, This sure sounds like a great plan. Now, I'll need to see if I can change my plans and come down from up north a day early. I'll get back to you. Most likely it would just be myself. More fun at GL!!

Especially if the PLBC entourage makes an appearance. Unfortunately, according to their representation, their appearance fee is greater than Keith's total budget plus my liquid net worth.
We are now talking pro-bono but I might have to rent that truck to seal the deal. |

Billy might need some translation along with that map, it seems to me that most directions given in the south include some local color. I was in the mountains of North Carolina a few years ago looking for some mechanical help, I stopped at a very "established" looking roadside store that several decades earlier had been a gas and service station. I asked the elderly gentleman inside if he knew of anyone who could help. He told me I could go down the raod aways make a left at the first turn then a few more miles and make a right "where so and so's old barn used to be before it burned down". I asked him politely with my best "Yes Sirs" and "Thank You's" to repeat himself so I could translate some his southern dialect. It was obvious that I was not from around there and would have no idea where the burned down barn might have been. I never did figure out where I was supposed to go, but thanked him in the end for his help.
So, Billy, you might want head yonder that way 'cross the lake, pass' the shoals and up the crick a'bit! If the work schedule holds up, We're coming thursday, so count two adults and our five yr. old son, and seven yr. old doughter. Gary |

Steve looks like one heck of a get together. How many will be coming by boat? Karen and I would follow if there was someone to lead the way.......
That way no mix ups with the translation from "Yankee" to "Redneck".....Something is always lost in the conversion, fur piece, and over yonder do not cross over to mile markers and road signs. But we follow real well, After all if your not on the edge your taking up too much space.........See ya'll soon,,,,Billy/Karen |

Extremely nice of you and De to do this for everyone! I get into Milwaukee at 3:07. My guess is I can be there around 5:30. Just me (for now). Thanks again for putting this together. Looking forward to seeing everyone! -Keith |

Hey Chris,
They will both be at the Northeast Reunion at Lake George, NY in September but unfortunately, my sister won't be able to make it to GL this year. My Dad is still undetermined for GL. He still might go but not definite like it was the last two years. -Keith |

Thanks John. She's doing well, but she'd kill you if she knew that picture of her was on here. The weekend of GL will be about a month from her due date. She's not very comfortable in the car for long periods, let alone a boat in the heat. She's bummed she can't make it. As for the step offs, haven't tried again yet. Was hoping for this weekend, but pretty rough water. Rob Rob |

34 people so far! Awesome! I didn't know so many people were coming in early.
I'm thinking a 1/4 barrel probably won't cut it... All are welcome, so keep the sign ups coming. We will do our best to accommodate everyone! |

Guys, I'd like to speak up here on Steve's behalf. The responce to his gracious offer of hosting this get together has grown well beyond what I feel he initially thought. I feel we need to make some donations to the cause!!
Moj, Excellent idea on the porta-johns but considering the PLBC boys along with CQ's problem, I think we need at least 2! Edit: You also need to consider us older guys! I sure can't hold it like I used to. It used to be a 6 pack before I needed to go but now it's after one!! At least I can still make it though the night but just barely. |

I agree with Pete.
Maybe we can have a donations jar to help with the expenses. |

We all can chip-in. One person should not have to be responsible.
On the same kind of note I will also chip-in to Kieth for this site. |

OK, after hearing that good news, you can surely count us in for a minimum of 4 attendees, possibly as many as 7. |
