Gary requested that everyone attending, please wear Cubs or Bears item or at least their colors. NO PACKER STUFF !!! He also asked that it be a happy celebration.
The Monday Gang would like to pay tribute to our great friend and "Honorary Angel" Gary Schonert '59 Horlick. Gary was a sweet, kind, generous, loving friend over the years. He took some abuse because of his loyalty to the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears but it was all in good fun. Gary enjoyed his time on the water fishing with friends.

We cannot thank Sharon & Gary enough for the wonderful picnics they held annually at their home each August. It was a special treat for all in attendance.
