Pioneer Turners Luncheon

By Ken Bounds

On March 8, twelve NIRG members enjoyed the annual Pioneer Turners Luncheon at Café Prague in Chicago.  Our host, Charles Kaiser, is the President of the Pioneer Turners and invited our group to join the Turners at their luncheon.  There was a festive atmosphere at the Café, decorated for St. Patrick’s Day, as we were served the traditional lunch of a delicious corned beef sandwich, accompanied by potato pancakes.  After lunch Charles pulled door prize tickets out of his hat and awarded some interesting bottled beverages to several lucky winners, included some from our group.  This was followed by the W C Fields movie If I Had a Million.

In addition to a good-sized crowd from the Turners organization, those participating from the NIRG were our host Charles Kaiser, Ken Bounds, Earl & Gene Heintz, John Judge, Frank & Phyllis Madrigali, Dan Pudelek, John & Este Scheve, and George & Dawn Zulas.  Thanks go out to Charles for arranging a delightful event.
