87 TODAY...

LOIS SCHEPERS OF LOST NATION, MCHS GRAD, AND DAUGHTER OF FAY MOELLER OF MAQUOKETA, CALLED ME THIS MORNING TO TELL ME HER BROTHER, DICK MOELLER, LIVES DOWN IN FLORIDA WHERE THE HURRICANE WARNING IS IN EFFECT AND THEREFORE LEFT THE AREA NEAR PALM BEACH AND WENT TO HIS SON'S HOME IN VIRGINIA UNTIL THE STORM IS OVER. FAY, BY THE WAY, WILL BE 95 IN NOVEMBER. STILL PLAYS PIANO AND SINGS ONCE A MONTH FOR THE CRESTRIDGE NURSING HOME RESIDENTS.

THE CLASS OF 1959 IS HAVING A BIG RE-UNION (45TH) THIS WEEKEND. FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, INCLUDING A TOUR OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL, NOW THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. I KNEW QUITE A FEW FROM THAT CLASS, BECAUSE THEY STARTED THEIR SENIOR YEAR IN 1958 JUST AFTER KMAQ WENT ON THE AIR.
I ATE MANY OF MY MEALS AT THE GREEN MILL IN THOSE DAYS AND A LOT OF THOSE SENIORS STOPPED AT THE GREEN MILL AFTER SCHOOL OR AFTER A MOVIE AT THE PASTIME THEATRE. GEORGE PETAROS WOULD FIX A BUNCH OF COKES AND CHERRY COKES AHEAD OF TIME, SO WHEN THE KIDS CAME IN AFTER SCHOOL, THERE WAS NOT WAITING.

VERY LITTLE MAQUOKETA NEWS TODAY, AND NO DEATHS.

SHORT REPORT...BUT BETTER THAN NONE??

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.
