*****›       OL' HACKER'S ANNUAL PICNIC››      On Friday, February 4, 1994, the› annual picnic for the Ol' Hackers was› held   at   Mimmo's   restaurant   in› Rockville   Centre.    Our   old-time› members will know the significance of› the term "picnic" instead of  dinner,› but  for  any  new-comers,   I   will› explain.   A  number  of  years   ago› (please  don't  ask  the  number), we› were planning a  summer  picnic,  and› finding  a suitable place became such› a hassle, that it  was  suggested  to› have  a  dinner  instead.  So, that's› exactly   what  happened,  and  these› annual   dinners   have  been  called› "picnics" ever since!›      In  attendance  were  Alex  (The› Prez)  and  his  wife  Marie,  Alex's› daughter  Gayle and her husband John,› Alex's other daughter Diane  and  her› friend  John.  Just  as an aside, did› you   notice   that  both  of  Alex's› daughters   brought   Johns   to  the› affair?    Also  in  attendance  were› Harold Pegler  and  his  wife  Edith,› Harry  Tuthill  by  himself (was very› chummy   with   Harold   through  the› evening; must have a deal going), Bob› Ulschmidt  and  his  wife  Jean,  Ron› Fetzer  and  his  wife  Cathy, a more› recent member, John  Hardy  and  wife› Beverly (John was VP of the Alamo AUG› in Texas.  He had  joined  our  club,› and  then  disappeared  for  about  a› year, but now he's back.  The rest of› the diners were Al  Atkins  who  came› alone  (  his  wife  Carrie  was  not› feeling  well  enough  to attend), Al› Sharkis and wife Anne, Jack  Gedalius› and  wife Mary, and yours truly, Stan› Schenfeld, and my wife Judy.  All  in› all  we  had  22 people in attendance› (Not bad)!›      There was much conversation  and› kibitzing  among  the guests, and all› seemed to be  enjoying  the  evening,› amazingly,  with   minimum   computer› talk.  The  menu  consisted  of Soup,› salad, and an appetizer of Rigatoni a› la Vodka. The main course (Entree for› the connoisseurs)  was  a  choice  of› Shrimp Parmagiana, Chicken Cardinale,› or   Veal   Parmagiana.   Desert  was› Italian Cheese-cake and coffee.  Soda› and/or    drinks    were    available› throughout  the  evening.   There was› also plenty of bread to go  with  the› butter    (grin!).   The   food   was› delicious, and in my humble  opinion,› I  would  say the "PICNIC" was a huge› success.›                     Stan Schenfeld›                 *****››
