SPECIAL THANKS to Lloyd Tremmel & Golf Balls for sponsoring today's luncheon.
Sub Sandwiches and Potato Chips were on the menu. Bobby Letsch ordered them. Lunch was paid for by the donations collected for Titleist Pro golf balls that provided by my son, John. We actually collected $240 for the golf balls - lunch cost significantly less than that. Slightly more than a month ago the donation was a golf bag, shirts, hats and some more golf balls.
Side Note: Incidentally the source of all of the golf balls, shirts and other things that have netted the Alumni House over $1,000. My son John, broke three bones in his ankle while in Branson Mo this past weekend for my grand daughter's wedding. He had rods and pins in his leg to stabilize things and will have surgery in a few weeks when the swelling goes down. He is going to the VA in Milwaukee tomorrow to have it looked at by a surgeon. He will be off his feet for at least six weeks. Please include John in your prayers.

Prayers for families of deceased Alumni - Friends
Prayers for Alumni & Friends dealing with Health Issues:
Chris Gorman '77 Ankle Saga-------
1. Live with it — but it will continue to get worse, more unstable, and more painful. We don’t know the timeline how soon this will happen. It may also eliminate option 2 and 3 completely.
2. Total ankle replacement — about a 20% chance of success.
3. Total ankle fusion — about a 50–60% chance of success, very complex surgery with a long recovery.
4. Amputation — offers the best chance for improved mobility and quality of life.
We are going to go with option 1 for awhile.
Sue
Lori Prideaux diagnosed with breast cancer for the 2nd time in two years.
