“Hi rascal.  Can you post the 2 photos on the ATO blog?  Dennis trying to make buddy-buddy with U.S. Open Winner Justin Rose's wife...and did an OK job of it, evidently as Mike explains.
Hope you're well!!!  Best Andrew

 

E-MAIL FROM MIKE McCARTY . . .

Subject: Fw: The Open Photo Awards

"Andrew:

"There are many more spectacular photo ops that I will send. These two have a very unusual story. We were headquartered in a trailer just behind the Greywall’s hotel where most of the big players and wives stayed. We were the only parties allowed to walk thru Greywall’s and a chance encounter resulted in these two photos. As Dennis was making the way to the first tee for his Saturday walking group of Caberra and Mahan he saw a pretty young lady approaching with a large object in her arms. It turned out to be Justin Rose's wife lugging the U.S. Open Trophy to the R & A presentation room. Dennis asked nicely if he could take her picture and it is the first attached.

"Where upon Mrs. Rose said to Dennis what she should do is take his picture that is attached as number two.

 "All I can say is priceless. I told Dennis this was worth a posting on the ATO Blog but Dennis is shy. If you as an intrepid reporter take that step so be it.

"I walked with Snedeker and Garcia on Sunday one group in front of Lefty. Brandt got to one over the same as Phil after ten and then Phil birdied four of the next six holes and Brandt went one over from there. Hugh accomplishment for Phil as no one else in last six groups was under par for those holes. His two three woods into 17 were two of the best shots I have ever seen in golf.   cheers front sunny Scotland.

GLUTTONY AT PANCAKE PANTRY

 

So I get a heads up from FRANK COLLINS that he will be in Nashville, and let’s have breakfast at PANCAKE PANTRY! 

 

How could I resist . . .

the lure of a stack-o-fat-flap-jacks-drenched-in-hot-maple-syrup? 

Had a great visit with Frank, who informs that he and Mary are planning to attend Reunion!  Frank, I love you, brother!

REUNION 2013 UPDATE

 This is the year the Class of 1973 returns!  No word YET from any of these mighty Tics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CLAUDE CODY (attended Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GEORGE “ABER” ABERNATHY (attended Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GEORGE JOE  (attended half of the Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GEORGE “THE HEME” TOMLINSON (attended Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JOHN “BOSS” STEIN  (attended Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARK “CHEEKS” REED  (attended Reunion in 2008)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIKE “CLEVE” McCARTY  (has not been seen since 1973)

 

 

TIM “TINY TIM” CUSACK (last seen on the Tonight Show)




 

BUT WAIT . . . .

several NON-73 Tics have already CONFIRMED their attendance, notably . . . .

THE FOUR STOOGES:

FRANK “BUCK” BILLER  (regular Reunion attendee)

LARRY “BOZO” SIMONS  (under contract with Barnum)

STEVEN “VINNIE” STARR (flower-boy)

FRANK “MARTY” COLLINS  (Grand Potentate)



 

It is a little known factoid in  TIC LORE that whenever the Three Stooges congregate, and Marty joins in, Marty becomes THE FOURTH STOOGE.  This combination ALONE is awesome, but when you add the POTENTATES OF 73, it truly promises to be a “good time had by all.”

Friends, this convergence of ALL four Stooges at Reunion is RARE.  Book your attendance NOW!
