Harry Kost Happy to have Rep. Rogers here and the his staff was very helpful.

Jo Grubbe for Clem Laurion she always thought he was the Jack Polack of the South Lansing Club

Bob Holden The saga of the " Great Fishing Trip" with his grandson age 11, of course it rained. His grandson first cast netted a 9lb brown trout, his second was a Coho and his third was a Steelhead. Of the four fishermen those were only fish caught all day. He was also on the internet holding the brown trout. Take your kids & grandkids fishing but on sunny days only.

John Roy Castillo Cristo Rey is rehabbing some of the foreclosed houses. Yesterday they had their first open house and they are starting another next week.

Bill Maher Norm Miller is ailing so I’m taking notes of the meeting to pass on to him, so I don’t want to hear any complaints about the next Krier you get. See above **
