Good sunny morning from Collegeville,

‘Walleye Willie’, age 6, caught a 18” walleye, a 22” walleye, a northern, a sun fish and 3 small perch. ‘Papa Gary’, age 71, caught one 13” walleye. Maybe ‘Papa Gary’ should sleep with a ‘fish pillow’ purchased at Goodwill. Needless to say, this was one of the best ‘Osberg Brothers’ fishing trips ever. We worked hard for fish, due to heavy rains and cold fronts, but still we had more fish than we could eat for the Monday night supper. Cousin John has joined the annual trek and he brings a wonderful deep fryer for cooking the fish. My son Erik introduced the “cream can cooker” a few years ago and that is fantastic eating. We owe a huge debt to Brother Bill who makes all of the arrangements and brings the food. If your family is looking for a great place to start your own summer tradition, go to Brindley’s Harbor Resort on Leech Lake.

The APHC show this week is a live broadcast the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, Washington. There will be some steadfast, fog-filtered and rain-washed honky-tonk dancehall music from the Caleb Klauder Country Band featuring Reeb Willms. Plus, the folk musicians of Skolkis bring a taste of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean of America and a few percussive dance steps and old-time Appalachian tunes from Squirrel Butter. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors will show off their full range of laid-back Pacific Northwest characters. Garrison will bring us up to date on the News From Lake Wobegon. Enjoy the show.
