Dear Friends, Fellow Alumni, and NADS,
Once again we had a successful and fun gathering this year that was organized and hosted
by Nikki and Tom Lamb in the Cooperstown, NY area.
Thursday
Thursday afternoon and evening a few people arrived to start enjoying the weekend together.
Our headquarters and lodging were at the Lake Front Hotel:
This hotel location was excellent as we could walk to several destinations, and provided a
nice area to assemble for evening night caps and views of lake Otsego.
They also gave $5.00 off coupons each day for their restaurant that offered outside seating.
The breakfasts offerings were a nice selection including a "Boozy Breakfast" option.
And they gave one free ticket per room for the Glimmerglass Queen Boat Tour
Thursday evening was spent catching up with one another, imbibing, and much laughter in
Gabe & Kathy's Room 39.
Friday
Several met for breakfast at the Lake Front restaurant before starting our days adventures.
Gentlemen: Engineer's Meeting 11:59 AM at "Cooley's Stone House Tavern"
Our Bartenders Ted & Teddy were kept busy with food and drink orders. And also received
an extensive bartender hands-on training that I'm sure they will have tails to tell for years to
come !
Topics of discussion for the 2019 engineering meeting included:
1. Reviewing the 40th anniversary reunion in Wellsville Sept. 21-23, 2018, and how much it

with Paul's statement " I'd rather go fishing" !)
Ladies: Walk downtown Cooperstown for shopping and lunch at the "Hardball Cafe".
The Ladies discussed their good fortunes of being happily married to Alfred
Wellsville Alumni with a lot of followed chuckles !
Dinner was at Mel's at 22. https://www.melsat22.com/ for 18.
All in all a good meal & drinks were had by all.
The reminder of Friday evening was spent at the Lake Front Hotel pier area for a night
cap; occupying all of their Adirondack chairs.
Saturday
Again several met for breakfast at the Lake Front restaurant.
We then had an 9:15am walk to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. https://baseballhall.org/
There were three floors and a lot to see, an entertaining movie and gift shop.
We spent approximately 2 hrs. here before moving on to our next location at the Red Shed
Then we were onto Brewery Ommegang for lunch. https://www.ommegang.com/
After lunch we met up with Pete & Gerry who spent the morning golfing at Meadow Links
Golf Course. https://www.meadowlinks.com/
Our last stop for the afternoon was Cooperstown Brewery; which included brews and games. https://www.
After our brewery visits, we headed back to the Hotel to go on the Glimmerglass Queen Boat
There was a delay with getting our group on the originally scheduled 5pm tour, but we were
able to board on a 6pm tour which was specially scheduled for our group.
So we made the best of our waiting time at the Lake Front Hotel pier area where we imbibed
and Sue kindly served horderves.
We had a lovely Boat Tour and great weather.
Dinner was at "at "The Hawkeye Bar & Grill" within "the Otesaga Resort Hotel" ".
Nikki & Tom had arranged outside seating for us with a nice view of lake Otsego.
Tom gave a toast thanking all who came for this weekend.
Our group thanked Nikki and Tom, and appreciated the wonderful get together they had
successfully planned for us.
After dinner we walked back to the Lake Front Hotel pier area for our final night's night caps
and goodbye's.
(***on the walk back from dinner, we realized Mike wasn't with us and Peggy was "oh well..
. he'll have to find his way back".
Gabe asked Peggy "if Mike's not back by Tuesday, do you think you should be worried??"
No worries, he was already at the hotel.)
Sunday
Again several met for breakfast at the Lake Front restaurant before saying goodbye and
heading home, or to other destinations before going home.
Until next year.....And speaking of next year:
In planning the 2020 G6 gathering, it would be July 10th-12th, 2020.
I'd like to ask if someone that has not already hosted our event would they be interested in
volunteering to do so?
In looking through the list of those that have not hosted gatherings are the: Morton's,
Harrington's, Morton's, Whitlocke's and Morton's.
Would one of you couples want to host next year's event?
Please get back to me within 30 days if you are interested.
If not, we will continue on with the next couple on "the list", Sue & Pete Armlovich.
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in the future, as the comradely, friendship's,
and spirit of G6 lives on.
Sincerely,
Gabe
PS - Vern, would you please post this on the G6 website.
