Since I am writing this, Mary Jo, Bill's wife, please and thank you go out to the wonderful people in attendance last evening.
Much effort went into the organization, and thank you to all! Great Job.
For those I got to meet, I hope to see you all again in 5 years.
For all of you I was able to re-meet, and reminess with, thank you for your time too.
Life has been good. As someone put it, "You have lived a very exciting life and done so much". That is because of your class mate, Bill Beniger. I learned about trucks, ariel baskets, plants, trees, shrubs, and growing from seed. Followed by having a goat too. As some of you know, Bill had two goats when he was a student at Washington. Well, our children got to also have the experience of having a goat too.
Then there was the day he said we needed to look into purchasing "Pizza Village". Now it is 20 years later, retired and we have continued to meet marvelous people because of these and many more experiences, too numerous to mention.
Thank you for having been a part of his life and therefore making my life even more exciting and full of incrediable experiences right here in Sheboygan.
I have been blessed, and you all had in some way touched making this possible.
I look forward to seeing you again in 5 years. That's a DATE!
William Beniger
