To all who made the effort to show up for MOOSE in Michigan:
Thanks for the great time and fellowship. I had a blast!
The pole barn on the Gast estate was the icing on the cake.
Rick and Char really put on a rockin’ reunion.
I’m still have withdrawal symptoms.
By the way, July 4, 2010 is on a Sunday!
God willing, I’ll see you all there. Maggie, don’t forget your bottle of “Back in the Day”(Ski, I’ll see you at Giants camp or Superbowl)

Tom I remember that Staff. He came to Atlanta with us once and we really got hammered in the Underground and he had to drive my car back . think his name started with a B, something like Beckenridge.
Ski Says:
HELLO………..Is there anybody out THERE ??? Just nod if you can hear me !! Everyone OK ? Everyone got the Autumn Blues or what.This shit with it getting dark so early SUCKS.Hope all is well…………..SKI
Doc Says:
I’m here! Been busy with the business & job. Have a new Grandson three weeks ago! Leaves are almost gone from the trees and it’s cold AND dark! They had another Air Medical crash the other night in Chi Town, makes the 11th crash this year and 8th fatal. I am hoping to get out of this work, just tired of the Political crap. We just had a service move into our area and it will cut off our source of flights so that is not good for viability. I like what I do, but the other crap and so many people dying on the job just sucks.

Ski Says:
Congrats on the new Grandson!! Any pix and how about his name?Are you going to post some new pictures from REUNION ‘08? How about everyone else,any new Grandkids,New Kids,New kind of BEER you’re drinking??Anything NEW,we’d like to know,or save it for REUNION ‘10 !!
Vinnie Nitti Says:
Just had my fourth grandchild. Sitting here watching football, yesterday another Penn St victory. Today the Jets. And I drink martini’s
Ski Says:
Congrats on number 4 !! Sorry you couldn’t enjoy Martini’s after that OT loss.They should beat up on the Chiefs this weekend.Big Game for PSU this Saturday.If they win this game,they have a good shot to go UNDEFEATED!!
Vinnie Nitti Says:
Watch # 64 thats my friends son, Rich Ornberger. I drank several martinis after that ugly display of football by the Jets. But I hate the Cheifs and Herm Edwards so this can be a good week end.
briz Says:
Hey anybody have any Halloween memories/stories from the Grove?
Didn’t somebody do something with that tombstone that in the woods?
I remember going into J-Ville one year to some club dressed up, I know Bush was with me but I can’t remember who else was there.
Can’t remember much, must have been a good night!
Tom Says:
There will be no more sacrifices or ablutions to the football Gods for the former NY Titans, they went way too far. I do not think you will have to eat those words, but have you noticed the way Cassel is playing as of late?
Vinnie Nitti Says:
He is the real deal. He is also a free agent after the season. If Bret retires how would he look in Green and White. Billy B will have a stroke
briz Says:
A shout out to my MOOSE family for a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you’re all with family and/or friends on this holiday… eat well, be well and enjoy a day of football and food.God bless!
Semper Fi, Briz
Doc Says:
I never forget on Holidays the fact that what drew us all together as friends were the Holidays, but it too sucked because we really would rather have been home. Don’t forget to remember our Brothers and Sisters serving now away from home, they don’t want to be where they are, and it is the hard part of being in service to our country.
I AM grateful that I got to share those days with you all.
Ski Says:
I’m Thankful for these Friendships that have endured & grown over the past 30+ years.I’m also Thankful that the Giants are playing well.I watched the Jets Game yesterday & they seemed to be going through the motions.After playing so well against the Titans a week ago,I guess they thought they just had to show up.Matt Cassel came back to Earth!!!
Vinnie Nitti Says:
You have more Super Bowl wins in the 4 years than we have in the last 40. We have earned the right to whine. But victory this week, I think.
Tom Says:
I can’t believe my beloved clean of heart Patriots must play against such rapscallions as play for the Jets or Giants. What is this world becoming?
Vinnie Nitti Says:
The Pats sold their souls to Satan to get what they have. Billy B has 666 tatooed on his ass. Good will finally trump evil, no playoffs for the Pats.
Ski Says:
Giants played like PIGS !!! Big game this Sunday.Win and first round bye and most likely home field throughout the playoffs…..if they beat the Vikes the following Sunday.
SKI Says:
Vinnie,
You’re right about Burress & Cassell.That’s usually what happens when the fans get to vote.It becomes a popularity contest.Instead of how they played on the field.Just like in MLB,Griffey Jr. gets voted in and plays about 30 games in the first half of the Baseball Season.
SKI Says:
Happy Holidays to all of my M.O.O.S.E. Family.I’ll be working X-MAS Eve and Day,actually I’m not off til Tuesday.Hope everyone has a Good One & DRIVE SAFE !!
Tom Says:
I hope massive quantities of victory martinis are being consumed in a safe and lawful manner in a certain town in Long Island,N.Y. Merry Christmas my friends.
briz Says:
Merry Christmas to all the MOOSE alumni and their families….Go Giants, # 1 seed and a bye week for the playoffs, God knows they could use the rest…and God rest ye’ merry gentlemen,go easy on the “Christmas Cheer”
Have a fine 2009, Semper Fi,

Vinnie Nitti Says:
Had a great but long Christmas day. Grand kids kicked my butt. Received a great quanity of Jets clothing that I am sure I will burning after the game Sunday. Hope all I a good a holiday as I had. I did not go too easy on the Christmas cheer but waited till everyone went home and I could relax.
