Hi Dave,
My wife Susan and I will be going out to dinner with Bill Petrak and his wife, Cindy tomorrow night. I found out that you do not have their email address on the list, so Cindy gave it to me so they can start to get West High News updates.
Got to see my brother, Neil at the first week of October when he came up from Atlanta to the Iowa Homecoming game. I brought my saxophone along and went Beer Banding with Neil and the rest of the Alumni band. My two daughters were there, too, one still trying to graduate from Iowa, the other one goes to UNI, but is dating one of the Hawkeye defensive tackles. It was a great weekend getting to see everyone over at Mom’s house.
Next week, I get to do it all over again at Iowa State’s Homecoming, and will be participating in the over 250 strong member Iowa State University Alumni Marching Band, playing Bari Sax. For the first time, there will be more alumni than undergraduates in the combined bands on the field at half time. This year, even Susan will get to participate by holding onto the huge American flag that will be unfurled at half time.
Have a good week and we’ll keep in touch.
Mark Ferguson
