STICKY ME!
 
Wow, I didn't expect to see something about GF on here. I go to UND, so I might be able to make it. How many people are from ND here anyway?
 
They have computers in ND?

J/K. I regularly have to go to Fargo to do computer support.

I did a stint in the Military between 1982 - 1986 @ Grand Forks AFB. Actually, my wife is from New Jersey, but I met her through friends - and we got married a few years later as I was getting out of the military. Damn, that place was cold. Brrr ... - and because I frequently worked at the missile sites way up highway 32, I was very near Canada.

I guess the Alerus center is new. I remember a few concerts @ UND such as Sammy Hagar, Molly Hatchet and Heart. Those were some good *rocking* concerts.

I remember taking many trips to East G.F. At the time, I was only 19, so needless to say, if we wanted to partake in alcoholic beverages - we had to do it in E.G.F. Shenanigans used to be a rocking place - lots of good bands from what I remember. There was also a place in E.G.F. that had 3-for-1 nights. Man, getting 3 Tequila Sunrise drinks for $2.00 was tough on myself and my friends. A table could be filled with drinks for $20 or so.

After living in Grand Forks while stationed at GFAFB from 1992-1997 I swore on my grave that I would never return to that god forsaken state...

The only thing to do there is make babies, we made two 🙂

I will forward this to Lanman he lives near by.
