Dear fellow Alumni, NADS, and Friends
First, I want say that once again we had a successful and fun gathering this year that was hosted by Tom & Kathy Pelow, at Adirondack Lodge, in Old Forge, NY. http://
And I appreciate the efforts made by all who attended.
Some of our activities included:
Boat tour on the Clearwater http://www.
The ladies enjoyed wine tasting at Montezuma Winery http://www.montezumawinery.
Going to a an antique boat show http://www.acbs.org/calendar/
Taking a train ride on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad with a lunch stop at Big Moose http://www.adirondackrr.com/
Dinner at Van Auken's Inne http://vanaukensinne.com/
Lounging in the parking lot with "The Magic Box" (passing of the cordials)
The annual "Engineering Meeting" was held on Friday 7-10-15, at The Old Mill Restaurant with our personal Barmaid Andrea.
Discussion and debate topics included:
- "Tommy the Tiger", aka "Anaconda"
- Wives who talk to us like "Dino" http://www.hark.com/
clips/chblnnhxwm-dino-barks - Menopause (this has been a repeated subject matter!)
- Retirement
- Having a 40th anniversary of those for those who graduated from Alfred State College. Since we have graduates from 1977, 78, 79 & 80, the vote was to celebrate this event in 2018. I have volunteered to host this event that will take place in Wellsville.
- Details of this separate event will be forth coming.
For planning the 2016 gathering which will be July 8-10, 2016, Mike & Peggy Zotter have graciously volunteered, (not pressured), to host the 2016 gathering. (yes, Peggy has been informed of this)
If you have specific requirements or questions for the 2016 gathering, such as:
Needing a mattress that isn't shaped like a sand trap
Dietary requirements
How many dollar bills should I bring to the "Engineering Meeting" ?
Will the "Engineering Meeting" location have an ample supply of "Peanuts or Popcorn !!!"
Hosting the "Wives Club" 2016 meeting while the men THINK they are solving world problems
Will all of our "dinners" be served at the same time at our Saturday dinner event, and that the restaurant isn't out of coffee beans for my Sambuca.
Is there a hospital close by
Is there abundant parking
Will a "Cabaña Boy" be available for the ladies requirements
Please forward these concerns to Mike Z. and "Nad Historian" Peggy.
I hope this finds you all enjoying what's left of the summer, and I will look forward to seeing you in the future.
I will be sending additional emails of photos from our event.
Sincerely,
Gabe
