I totally agree!!!!  LOVE THOSE BEARS!  This is the 25th anniversary of the 'GREAT 85 BEARS SUPER BOWL WIN.' 

I'll be glued to the TV tomorrow and hopefully in two weeks too!!

I think Green Bay has a stronger offense than the Bears. If we can't get to Rogers, we lose. If Cutler has anything but a good game, we lose. So let's hope for the best. GO BEARS!

Our Papa who art a Bear, Hallowed be thy fame. Thy championship came, Thy play be run, At home as it is away. Give us this day our Sunday Win, And forgive us our turnovers. Though we pounce on those who turn against us, And lead us not into fourth and long, But deliver us from the land of Cheese. In the name of Ditka, Butkus, and the ...Holy Payton. As it was in 1985, so shall it be in 2011! Amen...Da Bears!

Wait til next year! (laugh)

Paxton's and the Castle Theatre. Actually I think it was Williams Oil-o-matic back when that picture was taken. :)

I know that is supposed to be downtown Bloomington but it looks more like downtown or "uptown" Normal. :)

North Main

It looks like that street curves at the end. Main didn't curve. That's why I think it looks more like North Street in Normal. But it must be Bloomington. :)

Cool... where did you find that pic of Bloice Bess, Milan?  Another question for you... In all of the pics you've put on this site, was there one of the Parkway?  It was on the corner of Wood and Lee Streets.  I think there was originally and grocery store on the corner and the Parkway was attached in the same building.  It was a small grill.  I remember going there for lunch once in awhile when in grade school at Lincoln School.  Great hamburgers from what I recall.  Later, the grocery store it turned into a TV parts place until closing for good.  I think the building is now used as apartment rentals.

Milan Jackson

I don't currently have a picture of the Parkway. I think it was Don's Parkway. Later it was Louis Drybread's TV Shop. I've had that picture of Coach Bess for some time. I don't remember where it came from but I assure you it was from the internet. That's where I get most of my pics. Hope they are legal. :)

I think I just Googled Bloice Bess and found it.

Happy Birthday Larry Elliott !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheryl Turner (Hitzner)

Boy, Larry Elliott is a name from the past?  Haven't seen him in years.  Happy Birthday to him.

Milan Jackson

I don't think I've seen Larry for about 20 years.

When we try to email the entire group who have registered in here, we get a lot of mail rejections. I noticed that many of them are local with a Verizon suffix. Of course they are not current. So please edit your own profiles to make the mail accurate. If we do it for you, it will mess up your log-in. Remember that your email is part of your log-in.

Cheryl Turner (Hitzner)

I used to have Verizon but at the end of December if you didn't change your e-mail, it gets dumped!  C'mon people, don't make it so hard on Milan and Jack.  They are doing a fantastic job keeping this website going.

The last time we did a bulk mailer, 23 were rejected in the email. I have gone into the profiles and corrected 14 of those 23 who were from our area. I also wrote to them to let them know what I did. It is imperative that we have good information so that our friends and former classmates know what is going on in their site. This site belongs to the Class of 1964 and all of it's former members. The other 9 email accounts have different problems. I will try to get to those over time. We are getting more people involved in at least looking at the site. It's a start.
