Keep 'em coming

Nice photo of Pat, Nila and Sue below! And here's a reminder to keep posting old McLean photos and photos of yourselves and your families since 1969. In about a week, I'll try to put all the pictures up to that point into some kind of slideshow that we can watch at the June 12-13 reunion. --Mike H.

Wheeler wants a rematch!

Wheeler is also having their reunion the same weekend and have asked for a rematch. Don & Ron Reeves must not believe Thacker can run another kickoff back. By the way, Coach has no memory or knowledge now or 40 years ago about the origin of this document.

Golf scramble Friday, June 12

My sister, Sheri, asked me to post info about the McLean Lions Golf Tournament scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, June 12, at the McLean golf course. It'll be a scramble and will cost $5 per player.
It will be 9 holes, so golfers should finish in time for the spaghetti dinner at the Young at Heart building downtown, which I think is scheduled for 6 p.m.
To enter or for more info on the golf tournament, call Casper Smith at 806-779-2820.
