It looks like Garnet Hantak is not too happy about the boat ride. Even Marlene Zimmerman had to move over the give Garnet room just in case she started to turn green. Garnet did make it with out getting sick.
We want to thank Dick Gaskill for all the pictures he sent to your WebMaster of the 1998 Franklin Trek. If you don't know Dick, he has been the the photographer for Michigan Band for years. He also takes all the pictures at the Rose Bowl each year (they play there) After years on looking for his Grandmas 1929 Franklin, Dick found it and the Franklin is now home again with the Gaskills. Again, I would like to take my Franklin hat off to Dick for all his help, thanks.....
