The
Annual
NorthWestern
Railway was held
Milwaukee
Chapter President, Curt Schmidt, led the group in a prayer and the Pledge of
Allegiance. A moment of silence was observed for departed
member, Jerold Kettner, and a non
member, Rob Koppelman.
Before
our delicious meal of pork chops, chicken, or fish was served, Curt introduced
several
of the various Chapter Officers in attendance.
Everyone
at the luncheon was informed that the Board of Directors voted to keep, Curt
Schmidt as General President of the Veterans Association of the C&NW for
another year. This also includes Bob
Stewart, General Vice President, and Dianne Koppelman,
General Secretary/Treasurer.
After
a few jokes told by Curt Schmidt, we were entertained by the one and only
"Mr.
Senior Moment", Dan Sylvester.
Every year he seems to get better and we all enjoy his songs. Thanks once again, Dan.
Door
prizes were drawn and I want to give a big Thank you to Mo and Bill Regner for
their
hard work
in obtaining all the prizes and passing them out. Great job!
A
raffle drawing was held after the door prizes.
Thanks to Dewayne Stiefvater for handling the
sale of raffle tickets.
Special
Thank you goes to Barb Schmidt in her efforts in gathering of raffle prizes,
and the handmade C&NW Railroad blanket and pillow she donated, and Christmas
Railroad Basket. Thanks to Yvonne
