Folks,
 
When I got up this morning we didn’t have any power. After I called the electric company, of which they came right out to fix the problem, it was time to bowling, so I am just now getting the blog out. It is nearly 10:00 PM. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, so I will not be posting a blog tomorrow.

Gary,

 
What the???? that is quite a typo on my blog address you gave there.  Bloodspot???

Should I be afraid?

Here is the real address:  trishwild.blogspot.com

Was that a senior moment?  Or a freudian slip?

Yikes!  And here’s a newer photo:  One from GG Park on Saturday with Jeff, an officer on the Mounted Patrol.  He tells me it’s a 27 year wait list to get on the Mounted Patrol.  Says “I smile every day I get to go to work, and laugh every two weeks when I get a paycheck”.

Trish
Trish,
 
That is funny. I know exactly what happened too. I copy and paste everything so it wasn’t a typo. At times my spell check will spell check more than I have highlighted making auto corrections and that is what happened. I’ll tell you Trish, with your superb writing skills I never ever even think of using spell check on any of your postings.
 
This is a beautiful picture. As always Trish, you look wonderful.

1932 Willow City Thrething Picture

Hi Gary,
 
Before I went to visit Otto Stockberger, I print a copy of the threshing crew/added numbers to the people.  It’s the only way I know for sure which name goes with which man.
 
I now know why someone thought Andrew Stockberger lived at Good Sam.  Otto said he’s quite sure one of the fellows in the picture is his uncle, Andrew Stockberger #6.
 
Otto’s guesses:
#11 Arnold Schultz
#  9 Jim or George Egbert
#  2 George or Jim Egbert
#  3 might be Henry Durdle or Everett Schultz
#  6 Andrew Stockburger
 
Otto said he was ten years old when this picture was taken, but this is how he remembered these fellows.  I hope this helps with the identification. :)
 
Neola
Thank you so much Neola. You did great!
 
Those not yet identified
#5,  #4,  #7, #3 Henry Durdle or Everett Schultz

Joke of the day
Posted by Allen Richard (’65):  Midland, MI.
 
After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, “Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.�
Now … I have a $250,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”�
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.�
Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.
