From Cousin Ron!!
These EXCLUSIVE photos were taken right before
the World Trade Center was hit. These are NOT
doctored photos in anyway, they have been proven
to be authentic, Ron assures us. A friend of his
has a cousin who knows someone who works in the
FBI. These are NOT fake. (Ron's good judgment
and keen eyesight have never been questioned!
It's a 15 yd penalty.) THIS IS NOT A HOAX!!
Unless you are Bill and will believe anything.
Heh heh

Mandy Signs With UNC!!
Last week Mandy went out to The University of Northern Colorado Volleyball elite
"try outs". After the first day, the Head VB Coach and top assistant took
Marjean, Mandy, and Coach T to a conference room (for two hours) and told us
that they chose Mandy as one of their two athletic scholarships for the year
2002. She signed a letter of intent and has committed to play volleyball her
freshman year for the UNC Bears!!! Mandy will be one of the few out of state
players and will receive a full ride package (in state players get a $7,000 full
ride.... Mandy has signed for a $14,000 annual out of state full ride) She had
her heart set on playing for a Colorado school and is very happy on her
decision! University of Colorado is in Greeley and has 14,000 students. They
are currently a Division II school and we were told that in two years there will
be a big conference change with UNC going to Division I. Their Volleyball team
was 25-8 last season and ranked in the nation- #8
Jerry
And Big John Open Sports Bar In Carroll!!
JJ and Big John (owner of Graphic Edge) have opened a very impressive sports bar
in Carroll. The old Villa (all 4 floors) will host the newest entertainment spot
in Carroll. Managed by Tyler, a guided tour was given to Dale/WW and DBT
over Memorial Day. Still a lot to be done, but Wow!, what a place.
It is located a block or so North of highway 30, near Jerilyn's bank. It's so
fancy, President Kennedy (Bill's idol) once stayed there! They plan on hosting
weddings and even have some motel rooms to rent out....great place for the
Tryons to congregate, I would say.....a golf outing is being planned for this
Monday at 9:00 a.m. (Bill will be there) open to anyone, just show up at the
Carroll Muni course. (Didn't they ban the Tryons after Dick and Dale took their
shirts off??) JJ promises a free lunch, I think.....
Dale Is Elected To Board Of Cyclone Boosters!!
Yes, that is right, brother Dale was elected to the Board of Directors of the
Story County Cyclone Club. (as big of a win as Tony Blair's?) It's the largest
Cyclone booster organization in the country....a dream come true, I am
sure....now what are the freebies? (for the relatives of course)
David And Tanner
Win!!
David, Tanner and a couple of friends win the Fire
Hose contest in Spirit Lake. There were several teams of 4. They had to beat
their competition (head to head) by seeing who could make the large barrel on
a high rope move to the other end.
Sap
Of The Month Winner, Congratulations Donna!!
Yes, it is hard to believe that our oldest sister could even be considered, yet
win the Sap Of The Month Award, but it is true...the story...as told by Donna
herself...............
"Well, I woke up about 4:20 a.m because I heard a noise....it was the smoke
alarm going off.....I gave Bruce a good sharp elbow in the ribs, but he kept
snoring away....the noise quit....then a few minutes later, it went on
again.....I demand that Bruce do something (you know, he better or else), so I
made him go check it out...(poor Bruce just had knee surgery)...Bruce (half
asleep) fixed it by taking the battery out of the detector...then went back to
bed...about 5 minutes later, I heard it again....this time a different one
downstairs.....Bruce got up again, limped downstairs and pulled the battery from
that one....then back to bed........a few minutes later I heard the one in the
basement go off and made Bruce go fix that one too!....(funny how all of the
batteries went bad on the same night.....and I really didn't want to get up because I had
my super duper bat guano mud pack on my face and I didn't want to mess it or my
hair up, besides I was warm under my covers, so I made Bruce do it).....We
finally just got up, got ready for work and when we were leaving the house, we discovered the garage was full of smells and smoke and the car was
RUNNING!! Ooops....seems when I got home last night I put in the wrong
code for our ignition and I programmed it to start and run every 15 minutes and
it did it ALL night.......what a Sap, I was one who put the car in and it must
have run in the garage all night!!!...(don't you dare tell Dick or he will tell
everyone on the web! Ok? our little secret?)...Bruce drove the truck to
school and I drove the car....the temperature light came on and I had to call a
mechanic to look it over...we can't find the original codes to program it
back........funny we didn't even hear the car running......."
What a Sap......thanks to the Cub Reporter who submitted the story.....the
editor did make a few changes to the original copy.....
Believe
It Or Not!!
Tom turned the BIG 50 this week....Wow!!.....Dick has been spending extra time
rebuilding and redesigning his bathroom....(see
photo)......What a handy man!!.....Jerry's school (AR-WE-VA) was out of school 3
weeks before Nevada!!!........(Nevada has 4 teachers inservice days AFTER school
is out).....Bill has endorsed the job President George W Bush has done so
far....heh, heh......(Man, there goes his administration)......Brett tried to
run a load of laundry at home with: 6 pairs of blue jeans, 24 T-shirts, 16
basketball shorts, 24 socks, 4 dress shirts, 4 dress slacks, 8 sweatshirts, 5
sweat pants, one pair of underwear (wonder if that got clean?) and a SPORTS
BRA......where did THAT come from?????.....new roommate????.....Wow, what a Sap!! No wonder he had to
ask his Dad why the washer wouldn't run....wonder if the underwear got
clean??..Todd's number for the Sioux Falls
Storm Arena Football team is #1............DBT and WW spent a short weekend
cleaning up the flood mess at Red Wing....Dick was seen stacking cement blocks
ceiling high and WW was on his belly, in the mud, crawling under a 1928
house, pulling out pipes and ducts....(it was the largest butt crack ever seen
by humans, you could hide a shovel in it, Barb had to run away.... laughing).......Big Jim
Hulsebus takes the lead in Tryon Fantasy Baseball, from the Fat Boys
(DBT's).......Julie was seen trying to KEEP little CL from walking, she can't
even keep up with him now!!........Eric's (Van Meter) star baseball pitcher is a
girl!!....might be a long season.....Dale was seen buying back old Christmas
presents he gave to Doug and Jodie at their garage sale.......any
books???.......Brad now plans on running in the Minneapolis marathon, sometime
this fall instead of Omaha's....yeah right, just as soon as Dick
does.........the 3D's have expanded their comedy club up North and hope all can
attend sometime.......LT's doctor told him to start GAINING some of his weight
back.......Lucky Larry...bet I know of a few people who would donate
some........Barb is flying to Sweden this summer and leaving
Dick behind........guess who pays for it?....Not only has all of Morningside's
basketball players left, but last year's coach in now AD and the new guy hired
to replace him as now resigned after a couple of weeks on the job........Bill and Sally plan on a
visit to Illinois and Iowa in the next couple of weeks.....Bill is a big
shareowner of Exxon, so isn't he one of those rich Republican energy company
owners that are ripping everyone off?.........Beth & WW's AAU team has a
player that just signed with the Iowa Hawkeyes....Wow!!........It snowed this week in beautiful
Colorado.....gee, I will pass......teachers in Iowa will get a 40 million dollar
pay increase next year... Believe It Or Not!!!! (what a joke)
Mandy

I say "Yes"......I've been known to put my chair up to the salad

Unbelievable!!
Never seen anything like it. Barb and I got up early Saturday a.m. and
drove to Red Wing, Minnesota to help Ray and Violet take a look at their house
on the river. (Pagoda) Rumor had it that the river had gone down some. We messed
around trying to find Ray's boat and motor and had a lot of help from neighbor
Ronnie...after a couple of hours getting things situated. Barb and Ray went out
in the boat to look things over. I had Barb take some pictures and Violet and I
were going to go out next. The current became dangerous and the boat was
starting to leak. Needless to say, there was only one trip, but man the water.
Never seen anything like it. Stuff you see on TV. It was something. Ray and Vi's
neighbors are just wonderful helping here and there. Some even salvaged the lawn
mowers. Things are insured. This is the 3rd flood since 1965, the last being
1997. This was the same height as then, but what created the damage was the
terrible winds of last week. Remember? Waves crashed against almost all of the
houses and many were damaged. Windows broken, doors off. Water everywhere. Stuff
from up river all over down river. They are talking May until the river is down.
Quite an ordeal, but the people along the river have been here before and sure
do help each other out. Hard to imagine this beautiful vacation spot looking
like this. The house was built in 1928 and this year's flood is 17ft. above
normal. Some good news though....Ray's super duper Purple Martin housing
complex looks like it survived and will be ready for another season of tenants! Click

News From Malta
(Received the following from Lynn and Raquel)
Greetings from the Mediterrenean.
How's everything in good ole' Iowa? I hope
you and your family are doing fine.
I just wanted to keep the family updated
and give everyone my new e-mail addresses.
Because I've been so busy the past year I
haven't been able to keep in touch with all my relatives as much as I would
like.
Well, after nine years in Europe, i've
hung my basketball shoes and moved on.
Last week, after months and months of
work, I opened up the TRYON GYM here in Malta.
It's the best hardcore bodybuilding gym on
the island. It's a new challenge and it's a lot of fun. I just hope someday
you can all see it.
Take Care and hopefully I'll see you all
at Todd's wedding.
