REALLY GLAD WE HAVE A GOOD SCOUTING PROGRAM FOR MAQUOKETA.

BIG TURNOUT BOTH SATURDAY (AT TIMBER LANES) AND YESTERDAY
AT THE FAIRGROUNDS FOR DUNES "BENEFIT".    (BEING TREATED FOR PANCREATIC CANCER)    I HEARD 800 WERE SERVED THE DELICIOUS DINNER AND THERE WAS A BIG AUCTION AFTER.     DUNES IS WELL KNOWN AND EMPLOYED AT RONANN'S.   AND THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, HAS SOLD TICKETS FOR ME AT THE DRIVE-IN.    BY THE WAY, TIMBER LANES IS IN THE  PROCESS OF BUILDING AN EVENTS BUILDING ON TO THE BOWLING BUILDING WHICH WILL ACCOMODATE 500 PEOPLE.

A VERY GOOD FRIEND FROM MY ARMY DAYS IN THE 60'S DIED LAST WEEK
AT HIS HOME IN OREGON.  OUT WEST,  HE WAS A FAMOUS SEATTLE SPORTS WRITER AND SEATTLE CALL-IN RADIO HOST FOR MANY YEARS, UNTIL RETIRING.  HE VISITED MAQUOKETA A FEW YEARS AGO AND STAYED WITH US.   HE LIKED MAQUOKETA, AND THE DRIVE-IN.
WE EMAILED WEEKLY, MOSTLY ABOUT SPORTS.     GOOGLE J MICHAEL
KENYON ABOUT HIM.    IN 1964 HE AND I  BROADCAST THE FT. HOOD
FOOTBALL GAME AGAINST FT. JACKSON.    I ALSO WORKED WITH HIM
AT KILLEAN, TEXAS  ON A WEEKLY WRESTLING PROGRAM.   I WAS THE
AT NIGHT RING ANNOUNCER EACH WEEK.  HE WAS A WORLD AUTHORITY ON PROFESSIONAL AND COLLEGE WRESTLING AND THE HARLAN GLOBETROTTERS.    WROTE A BOOK ABOUT BOTH   GOOD MEMORIES.
GOOD GUY.    OH  YES, HE HAD 5 WIVES, BUT HAS BEEN MARRIED TO JOAN
THE LAST 10 YEARS OR MORE.    
JUST THOUGHT I'D EXPRESS MY GRIEF A LITTLE...HE WOULD CHUCKLE
ABOUT THIS OBITUARY STORY ABOUT HIM ON MY DAILY WHICH HE OFTEN READ.    WE  HAD PLANNED TO FLY OUT AND VISIT THEM LAST YEAR AND DIDN'T MAKE IT AND THEY WERE PLANNING THIS YEAR,  A SUMMER VISIT HERE.    BUT, THE HEART GAVE OUT IN HIS RECLINER WHILE WATCHING (I'M SURE SPORTS) ON TV, MUNCHING ON DRY CHEERIOS....HIS WIFE TOLD ME
ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING.   HE WAS FOUND DEAD THE NEXT MORNING.
