Mid-America Cushman Club

Winter 2010

 

 

 

 

President’s Message

Hello Again,

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

 

Nancy and I became Grandparents again.  Our son Troy and his wife Valerie had a little boy Logan Conner Weidlich on October 2, 2009.  He weighed 5lbs. 15 oz. and was 19 inches long.

We went to Florida to see him.  It was hard to come home but we get updated on a regular basis.  

 

Not much going on in the garage this time of year.  I had complete shoulder replacement surgery on November 30th.  Everything went really good and I’m looking forward to starting therapy on January 4th.   I hope to be ready to ride in spring. 

 

Don’t forget about the winter dinner at Hometown Buffet on February 27, 2010.  See in the information at the bottom of page about making reservations.

 

Also, if anyone knows of any past members of the Mid-America Cushman Club please invite them  to Arthur, IL for the 15th year in June.

 

President Bob Weidlich   Happy New Year

A Little Funny

 

Little Johnny’s kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the10 most wanted criminals.  One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked, “ Is that really the photo of a wanted person.”  “Yes, the detectives want very badly to capture him.” said the policeman.  Little Johnny asked, “Why didn’t you keep him when you took his picture?
