 T&A made his second trip to Wild Wings. |

 Beak's great granddaughter Carmela played at the United Center. |
We were given cool hats that will keep us warm.
We want to thank all of the Duffers who joined in the fun and made it possible for Carmela's team to skate on the United Center Ice. |
|
|
 We had time after Carmela's game to enjoy some $10 beers. |
 Ryan, the Duffer Referee in chief was there with his uncle. His Dad, Commander Ken, was working security. |
 Carmel's team beat the Admirals. |
 Carmela had her Dad and uncle Jeff serving as referees. |

The Duffer Picnic was Saturday July 29th 2017 at Tommy’s House Morton Arboretum Origami August 1; Kane County Cougar Game August 6; Parkinson's Fund Raiser August 18; Summer Game August 21; Total Solar Eclipse August 26; Golf Outing September 1; Muzzy passed away. He gave us more laughs than any other Duffer. He was born on May 20, 1935. My son Dan was born on his birthday in 1970. We shared a lot of Muzzy pictures in the last Newsletter.
This was 1997 when we brought up Robby Granato to give the Bombers 2 Illinois ringers. We filled most of the coach seats and avoided a fun tax. This is the year that Muzzy shocked Hayward church goers when he came out of the church and boarded the bus with toilet paper streaming out of his pants. Read More....
