Just got back from Minocqua...believe it or not I rolled a sled
going around a turn at maybe 12 mph...did $800 of damage to the

couldn't blame Matt Healy...Pete, I guess I still haven't

Pedestrians Hit By Car
1/23/2001 Police Beat: Two pedestrians struck by a car Monday
at Fifth and Monroe streets were treated at St. Johns Hospital
and released. Arvid Hammers, 58 of the 1400 Block of South
Lowell Avenue and Harry Stern of Bellerive Road were walking
north on Fifth in the crosswalk at 12:25 P.M. when they were
hit by an Oldsmobile Achieva whose driver had stopped and was
about to turn right. The motorist, Riyad M. Wahab, 49 of the
2500 block of Longwood Drive told police he was braking to see
if it was clear to turn right on red, and did not see Hammers
and Stern. He was ticketed for failure to yield to a pedestrian
at a crosswalk. Anybody know of a good lawyer?

HARRY.
I've had the very unique priviledge of seeing Harry (LIVE)
within a week of his clobbering a telephone pole (the day his
daughter was born last February) and now after being hit by a
"towelhead" (as Cheeks so eloquently put it). While his
intentions were far from intentional, it's been great
entertainment. Harry's got a live bird sanctuary on his office
floor with plenty of wild birds flying around that give the
place a peaceful serenity (ornithologists would love this
place). Lee, by the way, "Deliverance" is right up there on my
all-time favorites list; give my best to the Hanover brothers
and relay my regrets that I'm unable to attend. PETE: "One Flew

Memories of my first beer
I was a 16 year old JC in 1984. One night Jimmy Salinsky, Doug
David and Geoff Martikonis snuck me out of camp to take me out
for "ice cream". I should have know they were up to something
when they went directly to The Annex. Now at 16 I looked like I
was, well, 16. Sloppy curly hair, braces, wide rimmed
glasses... you get the idea. And I was terrified of being found
by Gary Gorchoff and losing my job. But these guys dragged me
in and bought me my first beer. How I got served, only Debbie
knows. Then they got Debbie to take a picture of us. After 10
mintes I was so nervous that I insisted we leave, which we did.
Later that summer Slink went back and got the photo and now, I
still have that photo of my first beer and my first "skipping
out" experience. And while I'm at it, congrats to Doug David
whose wife Peggy is expecting their 2nd child!

Annex Beer
Jeff's reference to the Annex was fun reading but I'd like to
make one correction...
Rather than call them "Tall Cold Ones"...it should be more like
"Short, Flat, Warm But Cheap One's".
My Annex days go back to 25 cents/glass, and when Ann raised
the price a nickel to 30 cents, we all flipped out over that
outrageous price hike! Any of you really old guys who
frequented the Annex go back further than than 25 cents?
