Had our Knights of Columbus meeting this morning then this evening Deb and I attended the Go-Daddy Bowl at Ladd-Pebbles Stadium. We had the opportunity to hang out at the Greers tent where barbeque and wings were the treat of the evening. Spoke with Dr Naman and his wife before going in for the kick-off. Northern Illinois was playing Arkansas State ad the teams seemed to be well matched.
Late afternoon and I attended the Daphne Chamber Of Commerce with Charles Czajkowski, meeting a bunch of interesting people at Eastern Shore Wintzells where we ate some excellent catfish.
Last night our good friend invited us to the Players press dinner for the Go Daddy Bowl featuring Northern Illinois of the Mid American Conference VS. Arkansas from the Sun Belt Conference.
