   Be sure to post when you visit. Even if its just your name. It’s just like signing a card. Plus you let some old friends know your still around and they can get a hold of you.

   While we were in Appleton this last Sunday, we discussed the possibility of doing a team fund raiser at the 2008 Alumni get together for Dale’s son who has struggled with Juvenile Onset Diabetes. Remember, this is why Dale stayed home and didn’t attend last years Alumni gathering, because he felt it was more important to stay home with his son.

   Since the Jensen family is very active in fund raising efforts for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), some of us thought it would be a GREAT cause for all of us to focus on and raise funds in the name of Dale Jensen next year when we get together.

   We also have a success story to report, and as many of you have heard, John Otto is beating the crap out of his Leukemia, and is back to being the same old sassy / smart ass John Otto. This would be another cause we would like to consider raising money for. Maybe in the form of a golf outing for the Leukemia cause?

   Since Steve has created this forum for us we can all share our thoughts and opinions here.

   Cheers

   Hi from Jan Peterson Hincapie:
   I signed in on Facebook and got connected with Steve and Roger and found this site. WOW! It is great to see the pictures and hear about old friends.

   I am married and living in Northbrook, IL. I have two kids, age 3 and 6. I am the Parks and Recreation Director in Lincolnwood, IL.

   Thanks to Roger Groll for letting me know about Dale. My thoughts and prayers go to Dale’s family. I was also sorry to hear than John Otto is ill, but am not surprised that he is giving the illness a run for its money!

   I will always remember dancing at Arctic Rugby Fest with Otto and falling into two inches of beer on the floor or leaving a rugby party in Eau Claire around 2 am and driving north to stay at a girls house that I didn’t even really know. On the way up Brewer fell asleep and we went off the road! We lost our muffler and the car sounded like a tank!

   MJ and I had many great times following the team and we made great friends. I remember slinging dogs and beans for the parties. I, too, can still drink beer with the best of ‘em.

   I am going to search for photos tonight. Take care, friends!
