GL good news!

I just found out that they are going to drive the distance again! I'll leave it up to him to make the formal announcement.

Pete thanks for the intro....
Looks like Karen and I will be on the road again,Louisiana to Wi. is a long way.
At first we thought there was no way, but looks like we will return. Had such a good time and met some wonderful FAMILY,that a return was needed.
Karen has a medical release for at least 90 days from her job, and I may have to FIRE myself for a week or so.
Hoping to see all my old friends and make a bunch of new ones. Boat dr...Billy/Karen

He and his wife will come to Indy for a few days and visit friends and family for they use to live here before he was transferred to Shreveport.

When will you leaving for GL? I go by way of
I-74 to Bloomington, IL (I-55) and then I-39 thru Madison. I want to be in GL on Thurs afternoon for we will be staying at the Bay View Thurs - Sat nite. We could meet along the way if you like. Just talked to ED and he said no way would his wife let him leave LA for IN without her. She said being from Paris, IL he may look-up old girlfriends - just kidding.

Steve

Moj' tried to buzz you yesterday, and had misplaced your #. Pete did not have it and Timmy gave me one but it was not Correct.

Don't forget warmer water. I'll never forget the looks on both Billy's and Karen's faces when they jumped into GL at the sand bar! I think this year they will be wearing wet suits!

That's cool but now Jim's gonna have to dodge boats when he rips through with 5 footers in tow!!

Green Lake at the sand bar 2008;



BTW Doc, the white stuff in the background isn't white sand!!

Sorry guys, this year five man foot run towboat will have to be Johhny. Neither the BFN or Air will be making the trip. AS the their captain has been manditoried into working. To many guys wanted time off that week, and I am low on the list. First two weeks of July are down weeks for us and we have lots of jobs scheduled for this year. Only two guys got that week off.

I on a more positive note, I am going to try to make it to Shellbyville this year.

I am sure the BFN will be home, as my brother has put dibs on the Air to take it on vacation with them. So I will still be able to goto the lake while my parents and my brother are on vacation.
