As most of you know, after a fairly long 33 year attendance record at The
Show, Gail and I decided that we could only afford one long trip last year
and we had a "must do" radio show gig in Anchorage last July.

Montblack got my dorm reservations and I just flat forgot to re-register for
this year. Even at this late date, we could probably get into the UW-O
dorms, but I'm just interested in what else is out there.

1. Camping is out. That was part of the deal. Don't even suggest it.

2. I've looked at the various residences for rent, but the problem is that
you have absolutely no idea if they are the Taj Mahal of Oshkosh or Roach
Heaven.

3. I've also looked at a couple of the other colleges with dorms and they
are sort of pricey for what you get. UW-O ain't cheap, but it seems that
the other ones are further away, you get about the same features, but for
more money.

4. I was thinking of looking at the motels that seem to line Lake Winnebago
pretty much all along the western shore. If anybody has first hand
knowledge of a good one fairly reasonable, would you pass it along?

5. Anybody else with first hand knowledge of something else that might
work, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

Hey Jim ! !

I got an offer you might find palatable ! ! I have a cottage ON
LAKE WINNEBAGO ! ! It's only 13 miles from OSH ! !

Now the bad news, . . .13 miles DUE EAST ! ! Actually, . .that's
not such bad news. Down to Fond Du Lac, and back up the other side.
You can make it in about 35 - 40 mins.

Cottage has 3 - 4 bedrooms, AIR CONDITIONING, full kitchen / bath
and even a sailboat ! ! 26 ' Nice beach for wading or swimming.
Got color tv radio . .magazines, . .garbage disposal,. .
bicycles, . . .walking trails nearby, . ( in case you haven't had
enough at the show ).

An . .shucks, . .since we're such good buddies, . .I could let you
have it for . . hmmmmmmm . . say . .$ 50.00 a night ?

You can even see the airshow from my dock !! Especially when they
have "smoke - on" .

Might not be the Taj Mahal, . .but it's very nice !

If you're even remotely interested, . .I can send you some pics.

Shoot me an email at .
