Good afternoon from Collegeville,  

This is going out early ’cause I am going fishing with my brothers and my son at Woody’s Fairly Reliable Resort on Rainy Lake.  Sometime in the nineties, my youngest brother Craig was invited by his father-in-law, Jim, to go along on a fly-in fishing trip to Trout Lake in Canada.  Over time, my other brothers, who were into fishing, were invited to go along.  In 2003 brother Bill offered to pay the way for my son Erik, so I decided to go fishing too.  I have never been much of a fisherman, but I always enjoyed fishing with Erik.  I am the oldest of five Osberg brothers and it was a wonderful bonding time.    The next year we went to brother Brian’s cabin instead.  Erik was working as a weekend sportscaster on Channel 10/13 in Duluth and he did a story on fishing with Woody for his TV show.  He suggested that we try Woody’s instead of the fly-in in 2005.  We had a great time and the greatest part is that Woody has a wonderful pub filled with memorabilia of his hockey days.   In 2018 Craig’s son Grayson will be able to come along and in 2021 my grandson William Harley Osberg will join the gang. Brother Bill will have to clean up his act a little bit with a 12 year old boy in the group.   Check it out at www.fairlyreliable.com    It is worth the drive just to meet Woody.  

The show this week is a  live  broadcast from the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.  Special guests include veteran bluegrass center fielders Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder.  Vocalist Andra Suchy, who has become somewhat of a regular ,  will join the usual cast of the Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Tim Russell, Sue Scott and Fred Newman.  Enjoy the show .
