I will be sending the Friends of Fort Fisher a donation for rebuilding some of the mounds at the fort which were torn down to built a landing strip during World War II when the old fort served as a base for training anti-aircraft gunners. Planes flown by the WASPs towed targets. Fort Fisher was a famous Civil War fort in North Carolina and the biggest reason I'm such a history nut and ended up as a teacher. You might say it had an impact on me.
Met Kevin and Kelly and some others at Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for trivia and those half price happy hour drinks.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10
Sure can't complain about temperatures this fall season as it is usually 40 to 50 degrees. So sorry to hear Michael Nesmith of the Monkees and a solo artist died today. I was a big Monkee fan.
Met Kevin and Kelly at Lake View Place on Grasslake for their $1 draft pint special. They have a great view of the lake from there. Then went to 'Cuda's on Grasslake Road for their excellent fish fry. On the way home, hit a big raccoon. I didn't have a chance to avoid it.
