1999 REUNION NEWS
Celebrating 90 Years in the United States.
People talking, Cameras flashing, Toes a tapping, Smiles abounding.
The gathering of the Tickals to celebrate 90 years in the United States started early and continued late. Thanks to Duane Pichelman, Cathy Baltunis's husband for the lively polka music on his accordion. Kudos to the newest to be member, Curt for his bawdy renditions of some old favorites. He married Louie's youngest daughter, Patty in July.
Some of the out of towners gathered at the Fairfield Inn on Friday night. New faces were introduced and the kids cooled off in the pool after the long drives.
