What a weekend!

I've been busy gathering information on the 70's and last weekend was the biggest treat of all!! I traveled south (I live in the Milwaukee area) and visited Doris (Mother Superior) Ruchalski at her home. Even the trip was interesting in that I had to drive through Norwood Park to get to Doris' house.

She kept very detailed records of everything that happened from the mid 70's through the mid 80's. Just seeing all that "stuff" spread out on her dining room table was overwhelming. I didn't know where to begin.

As an added bonus, as I walked in to Doris' home, another friendly face from the past came up to greet me. With a big smile (on both our faces) , Jim Fiduccia shook my hand!!! He looks great and he still has all that energy I remember him having. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who has aged.

We sat at the table and as I was making copies of scores, turnouts, rosters, etc....Jim, Doris and I caught up a little (26 years?!?) and relived memories. This was supposed to be a working trip!!! It turned into an afternoon of reminiscing and looking through old photographs. Oh well. I did get a lot of information copied..enough to get me started on the later 70's

It looks like I'll be making several more trips. I can't wait!!

If anyone has anything they would like to contribute. I would appreciate it. Nothing is too small and insignificant. I'm really in need of photographs. This includes you folks who marched in the 80's also!! Please email me.
