SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18
Few things I enjoy more than going to a history group and learning something new about that subject and today, for the first time since September 2019, I was able to go to a meeting of the Fox Lake/Grant Township Historical Society. And, we learned about the time the Towne Theatre in Fox Lake, Illinois, had an explosion. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the theatre was a loss.
They now know this was part of a move by organized crime to make them and other theater owners allow the Film Projectionist Union in.
I got to catch up with the last year and a half with buddy Frank.
That afternoon, we went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for a Celebration of Life for our good friend Dennis Dohse, who died a week and a half ago of a sudden heart attack. We've been friends of his since the old NTN days and he was the main reason we ended up having the '85 Firebird redone. We will sure miss him. The place was packed.
A great as that victory two weeks ago over Georgia Tech was for NIU, today was a different story with a 63-10 destruction by the University of Michigan.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
The usual, internet, blogs and radio. Then watched part of the Bears game at home in Margaritaville, our downstairs bar, and then the rest of it at the McHenry American Legion and enjoyed the $2.50 Adequate Bloody Marys.
