This is our 4th Annual Team Time Square, Relay for Life and Ride for the Relay Banquet
I would like to start with a special thank you to the All the Way Gang and those that joined us on the ride.

Two nights before the Banquet those that were in town, Doug & Judy English (PA), Ed & Anne Tokarz (VA), John Matthews (CA), Rodger & Sue Fox (IL), Dave "Switch" Jones (WC), John Ford (IL) and La Challe Carson (IL)  went out for a great meal (right Ed?) at Muggsy's. After Dinner we just set around and talked. Then The All The Way Gang (except Norm and Alice) had to have a picture. We insisted the Dave "Switch" Jones join with us, after all he did ride over half way. Of course Doug was up to his old tricks, and look how surprised he looks but look how happy Anne looks. Then sure enough, the minute Anne goes to the Bathroom, Doug grabs my wife.  Nothing changes. A parting shot outside Muggsy's. Saturday morning brought the "Wild Hogs" out for breakfast and the wives were thrilled . We just hung out Saturday morning and my wife did what she does best put the sales pitch on Doug & Anne.  However Ed & Judy ended up buying a sewing machine.  Then the guys got together for a few pictures. Shortly after lunch Stan & Laura showed up and we went out to Sub Way to meet them. Stan Hoff (MI) & Laura Ramello (IL) are what we call an ITEM.  They rode from Chicago to Springfield, Illinois last year but they didn't go all the way, however, Laura gave us the name "All the way Gang".  I think this year they are riding to Amarillo but they just can't go all the way.  After greeting them we had our Relay for Life, Ride for the Relay board meeting.  I am not going to name everyone who attended but it was a combined meeting of our Relay for Life team members and the Ride for the Relay board members. I feel we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish.  Thing are now really in motion for the Ride in September.  Following our Meeting all the Motorcycle people went to a Gathering of the local Honda Road Riders for a great meal and a fun meeting.  I didn't take any pictures but I will tell you this much, Judy English won just about every door prize that they were giving away.  Out of 12 tickets she won 10, give Judy a big hand.

Sunday morning, no time for pictures, a little breakfast then up to Hamilton's to start setting up for the Banquet.  Here are Tim and Tammie (TNT) working out details with Nashville Recording Artist Jenni Lee.   People are starting to arrive.        This is Tammie the main T in T-N-T   and this is my cousin's and their friend.           Here is my Brother and Sister-in-law. My wife Sue with my cousin Bob.            Dinner was served, the Prime Rib was excellent.  Then 9 year old Nichole Browning entertained us with a great song.    I had a very special presentation of a patch and book to each member of the "All the way Gang" for their accomplishments.      Then the all the "All the way Gang" gave me something special and let my wife present it to me, Love in the Fast Lane underwear.     Then my wife gave me a gift for all my hard work and for Valentines Day   She gave me a beautiful picture of Marilyn Monroe   She is okay with me being a fan of other women, if they are dead.  I think Stan and Laura were quit taken in by everything.   Now on to the auction and we want to thank Jess, Doug and Larry for all their help.  Of course we want to thank Randy and La Challe for their help with the auction.  We really had some beautiful things (I bought this great wall hanging, on the back is a picture of the "All the way Gang"    and beautiful people.  I want to recognize Dick and Alyson Gillis.  At our very first Banquet Dick proposed to Alyson on the dance floor.  After some health problems this year it is really good to see Alyson out.  Love you guys.  Now on with the auction.  The very last thing to be auction off was my hair.  I had my hair dresser (Molly) standing by and I was in my new red underwear. Needless to say Molly was wondering where this was going.  A Civic organization, AMBUCS (American Business Clubs), which I am president, won the bid for $125 which I might add that later they donated another $250.  I am sure it was out of pure love that they tied me up and used carpet scissors and sheep shears on my head, just let the pictures tell the story.  There were even girls from Japan cutting on my hear, ok here are the picures.   I hope you all enjoyed that, it was a real thrill for me.  Now on with the show.  T-N-T and the Dynamite Cowboys did a great job as usual.    Jenni Lee was as wonderful as always    Tammie just being pretty.  Everyone talking, dancing and just enjoying the fine music and fine people.             A special thanks to Heather Watkins.   Jake Clayton and Robert thank you.                 Brian for singing with a band for the first time you did great.   Some parting shots after the band quit playing.           The next morning everyone headed for home and we took John to the airport
