The meeting time: 6:30 PM. The date Monday June 11th 2018. The place: Busse Woods, the club’s favorite playground, near Woodfield. On this day the volleyball net stayed in somebody's SUV trunk since the steady rain that started in the afternoon stayed with us all evening.

But the brave group who showed up despite the drizzle and fog found picnic tables in our usual Chicago Park District pavilion, out of the rain, and enjoyed the snacks, the salads, the grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, buns and cooler-stored beverages. Our picnic chat circle recalled old ski trips and former members.  Anyway, the turnout was seventeen, good enough considering the rain. Those attending are shown in the group photo below although your PR man spent a bit too much time chatting and came up with only a group shot for us all.  Sorry ...¶¶ ..
