Here is a picture of my Grandfather and Uncle when they were young. Pictured from left: Karl Strohl, Mildred Basch, and Ralph Strohl. Karl and Ralph grew up to operate the Nay Aug Amusement Park. I don’t think I ever met their sister Mildred.
I’m not sure how I received this old newspaper clipping. Pictured are my great grandparents at Nay Aug Park. Adolf Strohl, father to Karl and Ralph Strohl, used to hold dances in what became the Dodgem building on Nay Aug Amusement Park. I wish I knew more details about this. I could never get my grandfather to talk about it.
The following pictures are from a family collection.

According to Dale, “… Yesterday [my teenaged daughter] charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store.”
$23 Quadrillion Charge plus a $20 service fee
In addition to this charge, Visa actually slapped a $20 “negative balance” fee on it. The amount of this charge is more than 2,000 the national debt, which is only $11 trillion. When the card owner called Visa, they said that there was a “system problem,” and that the “help desk was working on it.”
On the other hand, I would imagine CVS shareholders would be delighted by exceeding revenue projections by $23 quadrillion. A quadrillion here and a quadrillion there – it adds up.
I was contacted by Kelly Lawless-Perles, who was kind enough to send me two of her family pictures at Nay Aug Park. Thanks, Kelly!!!
