It’s My Family

Grasshopper No.4 celebrates another birthday on Monday, the 29th. He is our only Summer’s child.  I wish him success as he pursues “golf perfection”. He will be the only one in the world to ever achieve it. Happy Birthday No.4.

Grandson Nevin also has a birthday on Monday.  Happy Birthday Nevin.

The Green Bay Packers have notified me of the annual Stockholders Meeting on July 28.  I turned down a potential nomination to the Board of Directors to join such notables as Mr. Kohler, Mr. Bergstrom, Mr. Ariens and a great number of other dignitaries.  Of course I did!  It is very flattering but I just don’t have the time for more obligations. Stockholders are offered 4 tickets for the annual meeting held in the stadium at Lambeau.

I watched part of the NBA annual draft last night.  Historically it was significant because two UW-Wisconsin players were selected by teams in the first round.  Frank Kaminsky was selected 9th by Charlotte.  It baffles me that the college “player of year” by everybody gets selected ninth. Why wasn’t he selected first?  Sheboygan native, Sam Dekker was 18th in selection by Houston.  There must be some mistake. Sheboygan fostered an NBA star?  Really?

Your Mom has printed pictures of each Grasshopper taken last Saturday at her birthday bash.  5 pictures of each Grasshopper with Mom.  5 pictures of each Grasshopper with Dad.  When the pictures are laid out on the table, it looks like mug shots from a formal police line-up. It is what it is!  It is my family.

Love,

Dad
