KUDOS: Pushing Mopey into another decade

To Ozaukee Press:    

I would like to thank the many people who made the trip to Dundee to celebrate my birthday and push me into another decade.

Special kudos to Alesha and Buzz, who kept glasses full; Stoney, John and Lisa, for the exceptional food; Mike Lavey and Eric Flitter, for the parking; Logan, Dave and Andrea, who were a big help; and Gene and Barbie—for everything.

Musical thanks: Will Pfrang and the Good Land Gang, an awesome young band; my Shad Lads bandmates, Dennis Schmitz, Rob Chalifoux, Gary Haseley and Brian Staeben; and, for special musical appearances, Kathy Uttech Gordon, Bob Norman, Andy “Rockabilly Kid” Yaun, Rick Mondloch and Bill “Neil Diamond” Driscoll.  

The biggest thank you is for everyone who donated to Make-A-Wish. Through checks and cash in birthday cards or contributing on site, you raised $1,250 for a very worthwhile cause. You should all be very proud.
