LONGTIME OPTOMITRIST BUD BERNARD IS 90 TODAY. WE HAD A LITTLE
COFFEE/CAKE GET-TOGETHER FOR HIM AT THE MAQUOKETA COUNTRY
CLUB THIS MORNING, HOSTED BY MANAGER MARY IRWIN. HE CAME
TO MAQUOKETA IN 1950 AND STARTED HIS BUSINESS. MANY OF YOU GOT YOUR GLASSES FROM HIM. HE'S WAY IN THE BACK WITH THE LIGHT BLUE SHIRT. ANOTHER PHOTO OF HIM WITH HIS FELLOW ROTARIANS (THE OLDEST MEMBER OF ROTARY) TAKEN AT NOON TODAY CAN BE SEEN BY GOING TO WWW.KMAQ.COM AND CLICKING-ON THE BLUE ROTARY WHEEL. CLICK-ON THIS PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT. DUCK HUNTING WAS HIS BIG HOBBY. HE STILL HUNTS A LITTLE. HIS WIFE DIED A FEW YEARS AGO AND HE
STILL LIVES ALONE OVERLOOKING THE GOLF COURSE. HIS KIDS LIVE IN DUBUQUE AND GALENA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!
