Happy
Bucks
Jim
McCartney, I have
a happy buck for my friend Roger who helped me out when I had a 5 week month
last January and he has done a fine job with the 5 weeks in July.
Roger
Grove, I
have a happy buck for my last week of a 5 week month and another for my friend
and speaker today, Don LeDuc.
Larry
Pingel, a
happy buck for the realization that, now that all our kids are out of the
house, when you get a phone call and the first word is “Daddy” it is going to
be about money.
Jo Grubbe, I have a happy buck for my daughter who just
returned from a week vacation on Mackinaw
Island.
Bob Nelson, a happy buck for a great trip my wife and I
took to Oregon. I was recently interviewed by Jack Ebling and
Michael Patrick Shields and if you want to know what I said be here next week.
Jeff
Russell, I
have a happy buck for our summer camp and the fact all the kids we took came
back.
Rick Librizzi, along with fellow alumni John Roy Castillo I
want to welcome Professor LeDuc. If he
would let me graduate any one of you could graduate.
Clyde
Flory, a
happy buck for the last two weeks spent at our time share in the Traverse City
area and a sad buck because my son in Boston is having a transport company come
in and pick up my beloved 1968 Mustang.
Harry Kost, I have the programs for August and to start
the month off our speaker next week will be Bob Nelson speaking on energy in Michigan. Don’t miss it.
Jim
McCartney,
a couple happy bucks for my granddaughter, a graduate of the University of
Tennessee who was in Atlanta looking at Law Schools and met a young man from
Cooley Law School. He was so impressed
with the Cooley program he wanted to tell others. This same granddaughter last spring
joined the Obama staff in South Carolina and now will be on the staff of
whoever is going to be his vice presidential pick.
John Roy Castillo, a happy buck for Dean LeDuc for letting me
teach at Cooley Law School…
if I can teach there anyone can teach there.
Bill Maher, I have a happy buck for my Skinnerism about
the Irishman and his potato garden. For
the details, call Bill.
Dennis
Churchill,
a happy buck for my grandson who is heading for Chicago
for his third year in school there and my granddaughter who is going back to Manhattan for her second
year. I have a very sad buck for my 48
year old son-in-law who unfortunately has cancer, has had radiation and chemo
therapy and not much more can be done.
We would appreciate your remembering him in your prayers.
Program
In his 5th and final week as
program chairman Roger Grove, who
has provided a month of interesting speakers, introduced yet another Don
LeDuc. Mr. LeDuc is President and Dean
of Thomas M Cooley Law School, the largest law school in the country. Among other things Mr. LeDuc commented on the
many service programs Cooley is involved in such as providing legal services to
seniors and military personnel.
