Some quotes off Facebook about last years Cranky Pats Get Together:
Linda Moody....You all look fricking FANTASTIC, a good year ( like that expensive bottle of wine ).....thanks for the great togetherness Steve!
Dan Schneider....
That was such a good time.
Mark Mueller....
What a great time!! To little time to talk with everyone!! Good reason to start the planning for 2016!! Right?
Diane Mathe....
 It was great to see you Mark and you are right to little time to talk. I didn't even get to say Good Bye to you, so until next time.
Steve Reichenberger....
My mouth and jaw were sore for 2 days after, from all the laughing.......This was great
Tom Langkau....
Hey Curt. Yes, I just attended for the first time. It was the 1st time I met with many of these people since I moved away from Oshkosh in 1967. This was an awesome and great informal reunion of sorts. I will try to attend every year from here.. Best wishes old friend..
Sharon Weiseipl....
Nice photo, had a great time!
Dave Stoinski....
Had a great time with great friends.
Linda Lee Moody....
AND THOSE GORGEOUS FACES IS WHY I DROVE 4 HOURS TO SAY HI!!!!! and DRINK BEER!
Dan Schneider....
 I had a great time catching up with everyone. Can't wait til next year.
Curt Spanbauer....
The next time you guys get together, let me know, I would like to see all of you. Been a long fricking time.
Steve Reichenberger....
Hello Curt...It has been a "long fricking time"....Too Long.....Our get together started about 5-6 years ago, and has grown every year.......This last weekend was .....great...I'll let you know when we make plans for next year.

NOTE: One of the reason I enjoy these get together's is the fact that we ain't getting any younger.  I enjoy seeing old friends from my youth.  I'm sure we all know of someone, an old friend, or someone who is no longer with us.   And I don't want the time to come where I'll think of him or her and wish we could get together again, and have a drink, and some laughter.   But it will be too late.  They'll be gone...........I hope this made sense -Reich

INITIAL POST- WELCOME TO THE SITE

HELLO ALL.

Welcome to the Cranky Pat's 2016 get together blog page, where you communicate, post pics, and correspond with one another about the annual Cranky Pat's get together. 

I am Tony Reichenberger (Steve's son).  Because of my dad's technical deficiency when it comes to blogs (I suspect he's not the only one in this generational group)  ;) He asked me to set this up for you. Hello!

A few quick notes, and I'll turn this over to him and all of you:

  • While the blog is publicly viewable, you cannot be an author without providing your email address to an admin who can log it in.  If you wish to make blog posts, please provide your email to Steve and he can enter it in on the admin page (once I teach him how to do that). After that, you can post notes, pics, whatever you wish. 
  • Keep it clean.  I say that in the sense that blogs are really easy to get out of hand and unruly, which disincentivizes people to participate.  By keeping it positive, you'll get more people interested in the Cranky Pat's Get Together. 
  • Lastly, have a good time and Go Packers!
