Frank,

Just talked to CZ on the tely. He's in Chicago thinking about going to Cicero (sp?) to talk some packing plant business with your relatives. Thought he said one of the relatives was your godfather??? I'm not sure a Wisconsin boy should be wandering there, especially with his "Packers rule,Teamsters suck" button that he's wearing.

Well anyway as Teddy Roosevelt once said: "Speakeasy and carry a big stick".

I've been to Cicero. I have a Italian friend that lives there, but I'm not sure if I have any relatives living there.

Hey Tony,

Will try to make this short and consise:

Back in 71 I had just got out of the service and worked for a company that put up self-service postal vending units all over the U.S. We put seven of them up at L.A. International and malls all over the country.

Anyway, we had a unit in Harvey, which is right next to Cisero. Due to vandals etc. my company sent me and another fellow down there to dismantle the unit (kiosk). We got down there, hired some "Manpower" guys to do the labor and were finished by about 3:PM The mall where the unit was located was very black (I know I'm a racist slob} Well, my partner and I went to the mall bar. It was fun until it got dark although I never noticed an difference.

Anyway, I started talking to a black fellow,about 6'4" and 240lbs, conservatively dressed to the hilt...meaning sport coat, trench coat etc. We started talking football. He said he played for Iowa when MN and Iowa were in their glory years, I guess in the early 60's. Well, that's about the time I got interested in college football. I started naming all the players MN had at that time...like Carl Eller, Bobby Bell etc.

Anyway, around midnight or so, my partner and I thought we should saunter back to our hotel. By this time of course, the two whitest guys in America were in the blackest bar in America.

Well, this Hawkeye alum said: I WILL WALK YOU TO YOUR TRUCK!. Knieve, drunken white guys didn't know how much this meant till along time later. Go Hawkeyes.

Sothside Chicago has a very interesting history.

I will not be discussing my experience. I was in Iowa for most of the 60's.

Hi all.

Big Frank left this morning. CZ leaves tomorrow. I've pirated a computer from a sunken galleon and sneaked away from CZ to warn you all: Frank and CZ get back a week earlier than Kalypso Katie and I and they will be full of themselves with tales and lore...all which will be untrue. I must defend our honor and post this before Frank and CZ post. It may take CZ awhile to post because, as from what I understand, he is not allowed nor knows how to get on his PC until Judy allows him and shows him how.

St Croix forecast: Chance of showers, highs in the mid 80's.
Chance of showers, highs 82 to 87.
Chance of showers, highs around 85.

We had a great time Bruce is a great and giving person. I had a blast with him. He seems to make friends every place that he goes to. Al was just as much fun as Bruce was. Both Al and Bruce can talk for hours and after a few drinks it can get hysterical.
Al Sara know the area very well and can help answer any questions on St Croix.

BTW, I almost missed another connection on my return as there was a delay in leaving St Croix.

Bigfrank, I am so glad that you had a great time together with other TS4MRs. What a nice way to travel, if a couple is alone. You may have started a trend!

Is it a nice place too? Are you going to post some pictures?

[shaggy Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close shaggy]

Formally invited!!

You are formally invited to post your adventures. In other words, do it, or I'll haunt you the rest of your life I can't wait to hear who embellishes it the most!! Of course, you probably won't have to embellish. Hurry!!!! shaggy

Just got home at 6:00 this morning because our !~#^*))_)&%#@#$^*()) flight left about 4 !#$^*()$%@^*(( hours late.

Frank you better return the bail Bond money I loaned you for your Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesdays nights activies or esle I will email your Itlalian wife and then your _______ will be with the fish.

I think the bunch here would be interested in the you explaining the notes your wife had put in your luggage. After reading those notes I would be more afraid of her than of you.

Frank don't forget you owe me $35 . I did not earn any money after you left performing the duties called for in my part time job.

Frank is not to bad of a person for being a New York Italian, but thats not saying much good about the New York Italians.

Frank I promise for at least today and maybe for tomarrow I will not rat you out to your wife about on how you "followed" your diet and bring the subject of your food molestation to her. I might for a while not inforn her about your feelings on having to run back earlier for that doing in the "colorfull" manner expressed by you.

Also I am as the head dieity going to turn down your cheapskate offer of only$10,000 to the Church of the Holy Snowmobile and Polka Club to tear up the pictures you wanted torn up that pertain to your actions while you were in St Croix.

The price still is a bargin at only $25,000 for tearing up those type of pictures. But for the $25,000 I will also pray for you to try prevent your ass from frying in hell, but I must be candid with you because of the things that you have done in St. Croix the outlook for you not burning looks very bleak indeed. But please feel free to ask me to do more favors for you like I am doing for you in this post.

Your true friend and the rightous head dieity and true keeper of the faith, cz

PS , thought it was interesting how Sandcrab earned his nickname while in the "service", har, har, har.

Frank, we and the rest of the resort heard all about the problem you had again trying to rip off another cabbie like you tryed to do to poor Paul. PS Paul did own up to not having me pay for picking me late on my arrival. I had to inform mt new friends in the office and they got Paul to verify the credit to my bill.

PS, all three of us seemed to like the resort but Frank had some "Sissie" issues. The word "issues" is used in that area quite a bit mainly because of Frank striring things up. Frank is a very friendly person but he is a !@#$^*))^$##%^ bonified Trouble maker.

Jim said he is going to try a get his pitifull body to look morelike mine, but he knows it will not happen over night and it may take him years of deication to do so.


Frank, thanks for the low down on Tonyg and so I may have to cross him off of the list of timeshare people that I want to meet for the very reasons you warned me about.

Bruce
