glandts-015a.JPGWe celebrated my 20th anniversary of being 39 in Two Rivers this last weekend at age-old friends (grade school and high school mate) Bill Glandt’s in Two Rivers.  Other age-old friends, Don and Sharon Stangel joined us.  Seen here are myself, Shirley, Sherri and Bill.  I’ve been saying I was pushing 59… dragging 58!  Thanks, Bill and Sherri for your hospitality and making the transition a fun time!  Rog
