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?
