Announcing The 2025 annual Crown Alumni picnic
Well folks, the 2025 picnic is over. It was absolutely great to see all of you.
And the best part is with one or two exceptions I recalled everybody’s name!
The food you all prepared was absolutely the best, from one end of the food table to the other!
Distance record setters this year go to Don Peterson from Orlando and Mike Stoll from Michigan Upper Penninsula.
It was good to see two of my old engineering boss’s, Verne Searer and Mike Rockwell. They
had many a chance to fire me but chose not to.
As this was our first time having it in September overall I was very pleased. Turnout was good,
over 50 guests. Temp was moderate and rain held off to 5 pm, by which time we were all
home.
We had a professional photographer documenting us all including the group photo. Ian Sindell
is retired but came out to do our party. I think he likes the food…..
Steve Peer was MC this year and worked himself into a full time position! Thanks Steve.
And Dave Stuber came early and set up his PA system for mood music and a mic. Thanks Dave.
A couple of new helpers, Mary Miller manned the sign in table and Wendy helped with
table duties. Naomi Peer jumped in to help with the clean up duties without being asked.
Thanks to you all.
Clyde was on point with a couple of his favorite stories and did a fine prayer over our food.
Chicken was from Popeye’s up on cty rd 6. It was tasty but I think we over bought.
As for the future we will probably stay with Sept, but move ±1 week to miss some conflicts this
time.
We did miss Dr Barclay who had a family reunion in Philadelphia.
Note to remember; it is not clear whether or not we will have another one next year. May go
back to every 2 years in an attempt to generate more interest.
We hope to get the photo’s up soon, like in a matter of weeks to a month.
