My
new husband and I just got back from our honeymoon - we went out to Glacier Park
and northwestern Montana. While there, I visited Bridget Byrnes Fuglei. We spent
a few hours together, and had a blast catching up! It was the highlight of my
trip! Here's a photo her husband took of us.

Here
is an updated picture for you. It was on the cover of the Palm Beach Post last
Wednesday. Donald and I played with Anika Sorenstam again this year in the
pro/am at the LPGA Championship that we host at Trump International in Palm
Beach. Always fun with those two even though we did not defend last years win. I
am still the Chairman of Trump National Bedminster (http://www.trumpnational.com/)
and I am really enjoying that. The family is great but it is amazing that I have
a daughter in College who is home for Thanksgiving vacation. -Ashley

If you haven't ALREADY completed your holiday
shopping, I want to suggest you contact classmate Eric Wunrow about getting
signed copies of his new book for everyone you know. The art is excellent, the
printing superb, and the price well within reason. Also, for those of us that
are chained to chair, it is a great mental vacation! Eric has just published his
first edition e-news of
Eric's Trail
Reports.
Send him an email and ask to be put on the distribution list. Honestly, the
pictures and writing can almost take the reader to these far and mysterious
places. Here is Eric's address:
EW@EricWunrow.com.
As
I get ready to return home, I thought I'd share a few pics with you. I've been
here in Kuwait since Feb and will return to the DC area in in mid-June and begin
the slow move toward closing this chapter in my life and will retire on 30 Sep.
This has been an interesting trip, although I did not go north to Baghdad, I was
able to travel to Qatar and return back to Saudi for a few days too. the
pictures include a couple taken right at the Kuwaiti - Iraqi boarder crossing
(the one warns our soldiers to watch out for kids as they will run in the road
when the troops throw MREs to them as they drive by), a sand storm that came up
quickly as we were driving to a base near the boarder, and one pic of what's
called the "bone yard" - which is where all the
1000's
of vehicles and artillery pieces now reside
from
the 1st Gulf War's "road of death" north of Kuwait City - the image that looks
like a ridgeline in the background of that pic is actually more vehicles and
arty pieces, truly remarkable in it's carnage - it makes you pause and ask why.
All the best and hope that you all have a
wonderful summer

FL, PALM BEACH POST 11/19/03
Howdy,
I thought I would drop a note and attach a current picture. I just won a
spirited campaign for Alderman 1st district of Delafield. This is my first entry
into politics and we are hopeful. I won by a large margin for my district (82 to
121) with 60% of the district voting. Anyway I didn’t know if you can update the
info from earlier for the reunion. Looking forward to July.
Thanks again for all the great work on this sight,
Jeff Krickhahn

For
all those people who live outside Milwaukee and haven't had a chance to see
this latest jewel -- here are a couple of pictures I took on the opening of the
Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The Burke Brise Soliel
(the wings) open at 10am on Saturdays and noon on Sundays --weather permitting
-- must be a wind less than 40 km per hour. The wings close at 5pm both days. I
encourage anyone living in, or visiting, the Milwaukee area to visit the Art
Museum. The web address: http://www.mam.org/.
More importantly, here is a picture of Anne Clare and I getting ready to go
Trick or Treating. The little pumpkin outfit courtesy of my good friend Theresa
Jordan Hagerman!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. May we continue to be mindful of
all our many blessings. Clare Cheney Sedlacek: csedlacek@wi.rr.com
Saw Bill Gladbach's
pictures on the website and it inspired me to e-mail you some of my own. The
picture of the 3 of us was taken at German Fest in July -- Anne Clare did her
first polka with me! Jim and I moved to Plymouth, Wisconsin in late June -- I
absolutely love living in a small town again. Jim is now the head football
coach at Plymouth High School, as well as teaching physical education and
health. I am a stay-at-home mom and having a great time with my Anne Clare, who
will be 7 months old on August 30th. Hope you had a great holiday. - Clare

but I finally got the coveted "Camel in the

Just wanted to share a pic of the boys with my
deer. Had a great hunting season this year and I now have about 80 lbs.
of venison to share. This one was an eight pointer. My son Jeff, on his
first deer hunting trip, shot a six pointer.

Attached
photos are a sample of the spectacular views and colors we were able to see.
Most impressive was that most of those photos were taken at a depth of 40-80
feet and the colors remained so vivid (color clarity/resolution is usually lost
at about 30 feet and everything turns blue-green in color). The water
temp was 88 degrees at the surface and 83 at 120-130 feet. But for me the
biggest thrill was, that I had the opportunity to see a Oceanic White Tipped
Shark (6-8 feet long), my first shark while actually diving. We were at
about 130 feet when he circled us once and swam off. He must not have
been hungry or we just didn't look all that good - - - - and yes, they are on
the list of sharks that occasionally dine on people and I have to say, it did
cause me to hear the theme song from Jaws for a second or two.
The table
top coral was larger than a normal dining room table and the Pearl Oyster was
about 12-16 inches across. - the yellow - blue is really called the Royal
Angelfish and is fairly common in the Red Sea I feel that I am one of a lucky
few to be able to dive in the Red Sea from Saudi territorial waters. Fact
is, Saudi Arabia is not open to tourism -you can't visit the Kingdom, you have
to be sponsored in on a work or a special visa. The significance of this is,
the area where we dove was generally untouched and hasn't been subjected to the
"wear and tear" - and destruction - that usually occurs as a result
of a lot of divers taking souvenirs. Have been here 4 months now - 8 to go.
This is an interesting assignment and offers many rewarding opportunities, but
I do look forward to returning to the States. Hope all is well by you,
Bill
It is with my apologies to
Shelly (Navine) and her husband I post this very nice picture sent to me via
Charles. Charles sent it to me some time ago and I have been blatantly
irresponsible regarding this posting. Sometime in the past few months Shelly
and her husband celebrated their wedding anniversary. I wish you and your
husband many more years of wedded bliss....Congratulations! Bravo! - Neal Minogue (Click on the image to see

These are from a place
called Graffiti Rock. The drawings on the rock are from approx 6,000BC,
when the area was covered by forests. It's kind of hard to believe esp
when you see the completely barren landscape today. Below is a group photo and
left, one of my deputy (CPT Rob Jordan) and I. (Major William Gladbach)

Only humans are dumb
enough to venture out into the 135-140 degree heat, there must have been 50-75
goats huddled under the shade tree - anything to escape the direct sunlight.
The other picture (below) was taken at "The Edge of the World" as the
Saudi's call it - it's very similar to a Saudi version of the Grand Canyon, but
there are no trees to obscure the view - - - at all. Wüstenfuchs

recognize anyone.
Can you guess who this teacher
is? Write Neal and make a guess!
Neal Minogue writes "When I
was at the High School last fall I snaped a picture of this guy. Do you
remember him? Well, he did not remember me. His name is Tom Pinter-Speech
Teacher. It is my understanding from Mr. Pinter his students are required to do
their speech presentations using Microsoft's Power Point. My how times have
changed!"
Steve Poe and his wife Tammi write
"We're adopting a baby girl!"
Neal
Minogue sent this of his wife and kids. But, where's Neal?
Steve Poe writes "There's always got
to be a clown in the bunch. Steve, Tammi and the boys at the Wehr Nature Center
in June, 1999. A great day in the woods!"
Chas (Charlie Boyer) says he was able to
find this comic in some things he has been carrying around for many years. He
sends it with the hope it would give some of our classmates a chuckle!
Neal Minogue writes "When I first
opened my mail from Charles I saw this picture. I thought it was Betsy trying
to pass herself off as 18 on her recent cruise from Florida, but no....Its just
our Betsy at our last Class of 78 Reunion wearing the balloons to impress the
natives! Love ya Betsy!

'Byrnes' Fuglei writes I dug this picture out the other day. It's Kelly
Marti, Carol Hamilton, Cris Duchow and Polly Lueck. I took the picture when the
5 of us had dinner together at the Golden Mast in Okauchee the Friday night
before the reunion. The picture was taken about 10 minutes prior to a major
cloud burst. Just the kind of summer storm I'd hoped for...I miss them.
Neal Minogue writes The kids
have never been ice fishing and Molly and I wanted to take them to the lake
where we spend time during the summer to fish. The day was beautiful as it was
about 45 degrees and not much wind. Our neighbor up at the lake, Doc Koch (
sounds like cook) has every tool known to man and as expected the Quad four
with the plug in ice auger Drilled three holes in about five minutes. Cool...We
did not catch a single fish,but we had fun. We were sitting out on the lake on
a spot where we can only cast our lines to during the summer. The kids thought
that was neat.
