Fines and Acknowledgements
Jim Thomas arrived late, was supposed to be the greeter, thanked Alex for pinch-hitting!
Matt's father was German-born and came the US after WW 2 to attend college, where he met his wife, Matt's mother. Matt was born in Harvey, on the south side of Chicago (I wonder if Camille knew that?) then moved to St. Louis, where he became a Cardinal's fan.


David Pies thanked Nancy Young for helping him win an award of $32,000 in attorney's fees on a case.

Our speaker was Matt Gerlach, who did a great Imagejob recapping the highlights of his entire life.  Space does not permit a complete review here, but you missed a very informative program!
