Re: HENRY MAJEWSKI

And it's those types of things that current corps members don't have. While they have a better performing experience than we ever could, given the difference in talent level, show design, and equipment, there's something to be said about the emotional and comradarie side of doing paper rolls, tag days, Cherry Tree Socials, and things like that. I'm not sure that 30, 40, or 50 years from now they could have a forum like this where people still share things, because they don't build those relationships like we did.

Re: HENRY MAJEWSKI

The Cherry Tree Socials! I'd forgotten about those! Can you imagine how many hours those ladies in the Mother's club spent cutting out all those cherries! They sure did a lot for us!!
I think we were the lucky ones to have built all the memories that today's members will never have!

Cherry Tree and the Pancake Breakfast at the Legion Post in Skokie. The highlight of the second one was seeing who ate the most (usually Norman Lindquist, if I remember correctly).
