Happy Dollars   President Thoma was happy to see his daughter Colleen off to college and for prevailing in poker against Sweeney last Thursday, Bill for a safe 4 day trip to Walden Lake Mi. with Lori, any yours truly for having a laugh when seeing the other guy that Weingart tangled with lasts week, his wife Rose Mary looked like she fared better, since see sported one less black eye than Don.
