For those of you who didn't have the pleasure of knowing Muzzy, here are a few things that you should know about him. Muzzy was Richard Masiulewicz AKA....Dad, Rich, Richard, Dick the Milk Man, Da Muzz, Muzzy, Uncle Rich, Uncle Muzzy, GaGa, Dzai dzai, He was the last Duffer to play without a helmet. He was our Doug Wilson, but better looking. The King finally told Muzzy that he had to get a helmet if he wanted to keep playing with the Duffers. So the next week, he showed up with an old helmet that looked like the infamous Butch Goring helmet. Butch wore the same helmet in the NHL that his father bought for him in 1961 in Winnipeg when he was a 12-year-old. It was a Snaps helmet, which stood out because of how it looked and how many paint jobs it had and how it was covered by tape. But it was a comfortable lid, so why get something else? Butch and Muzzy wore that helmet until they retired. Vidas reminded me that Muzzy was an Air Force veteran. I asked his daughter Paula about his service and she sent the following: He retired from the air force with 40 years combined active and reserve service. During his reserve, he was based at the O'Hare national guard base. In the reserve, he would usually go somewhere for a couple weeks each year on some maintenance / engineering project. That is how he got to go to cool places like Cuba, Greece and Spain. He achieved the rank of Master Sergeant, and judging by the party his troops held for him at O'hare when he retired, they all loved him. He also was a reserve officer for the Cicero police force. |

This awesome composite photo of the Eclipse in Oregon by photographer Jasman Lion Mander. My wife and I went to Missouri and spent a few days with Uncle Bob and Cindy. We drove down to Eureka MO. where we were able to see over 2 minutes of totality. I set up my telescope in a Verizon parking lot where we could cool off between pictures. We thought we would be in lawn chairs in a field somewhere, but we had easy chairs in the lobby. The temperature was 95 degrees when the eclipse started. The temperature gradually dropped over 20 degrees when the sun was eclipsed.

Tom O'Connor viewed the eclipse in Hopkinsville Kentucky. |

We had a record number of Duffers at the golf outing including Blackhawk coach Donny Granato. The Mazzarellas won a referee golf bag. | ||
We had a great time, but we didn't see a deer this year. |
Last year, Dan had a talk with this deer. |
|
I spent the summer watching these hawks grow up. |
The Hawks have left the nest to hunt on their own. |
|
Anthony didn't get in the picture, but his daughter did. |
We had 6 Duffers participate in the Parkinson Fund Raiser. |
|
We saw a good game on August 1st.
|
The last time I was at the game, my grandson Luke was on the cover. The Cougars were a Cub A team back then, so he drew the attention of the photographers when he wore his Uncle Ken's 50 year old Ernie Banks uniform. We saw Kyle hit a home run in his first game. He was on the cover this summer. |

We brought The Duffer grill out of retirement for this year's Duffer picnic. You need young strong guys to carry it. It weighs less than a ton |

My brother's son Mark let me try on his Lopatka world series ring. |

I took my great grandkids to the Morton Arboretum to see the origami sculptures, it was great. |
This composite image, made from seven frames, shows the International Space Station, with a crew of six onboard, as it transits the Sun at roughly five miles per second during a partial solar eclipse, Monday, Aug. 21, 2017 near Banner, Wyoming. Onboard as part of Expedition 52 are: NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer, and Randy Bresnik; Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Sergey Ryazanskiy; and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Paolo Nespoli. A total solar eclipse swept across a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.

While many in the U.S. experienced a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO — observing the Sun from Earth orbit — saw a partial eclipse. SDO sees several lunar transits each year from its orbit 3,000 miles above Earth. However, an eclipse on the ground doesn’t guarantee that SDO will see anything out of the ordinary. On Aug. 21, SDO also saw the Moon briefly pass in front of the Sun at the same time that the Moon’s shadow passed over the eastern United States. SDO only saw 14 percent of the Sun blocked by the Moon, while most U.S. residents saw 60 percent blockage or more.Credit: NASA/SDO This composite image of eleven pictures shows the progression of a total solar eclipse at Madras High School in Madras, Oregon on Monday, August 21, 2017.
