This morning Doreen and a couple of her buddies Patty McDermott Kuehl and Elaine Burkhart Duprey headed into Cedar Falls and did some shopping and touring of their old home town. The old original downtown Main Street area of Cedar Falls used to be called the "parkade" and it is full of shops, restaurants and bars.

I stayed back at the campground and took care of a few maintenance tasks here such as cleaning the bugs off the front cap from our travels yesterday and walked Liberty a bit.
Later this afternoon we had sort of a pre-reunion event as one of our classmates, Mike O'Brien could only come down today as he had obligations this weekend. 11 classmates and some spouses came out to the Big Woods Lake Campground and we enjoyed some fellowship, a lot of laughs, stories and more stories; a few cold beverages, and a little bourbon tasting!
