| Fred's 75th Bash part 1 |
 |
75th Birthday Bash for FPB Member, Fred Scherz Sr. This was an awesome day to begin with, as there was a special recognition dinner for Fred Scherz Sr., held at the Franklin Hotel in Rome, NY. Verona Town Supervisor, Dave Reed and Oneida County Executive, Joe Griffo, both took time out of their busy schedules to recognize Fred, by declaring July 18, 2005 (Fred's birthday) "Fred Scherz Sr. Day" throughout not only the Town of Verona, but also the entire Oneida County! Fred also received a special plaque from the President of the Ag-Radio Network (and good friend of the Scherz family for many, many years), Ed Slusarczyk, a special letter from New York State Governor, George Pataki, a special proclamation from U.S. Congressman, Sherry Boehlert, and even a picture from the President of the United States, George Bush! Fred also received many tremendous gifts from his friends. Plus, not to mention that there were about 100 of Fred's family and good friends that attended the recognition dinner to show their support. This was just a truly incredible experience. And if you weren't there, you missed out big time!
Now for the "dance" portion of the 75th Birthday Bash. This took place at the Rome Polish Home, starting about 6:15pm. And of course, many of the FPB Fan Club attended, members of the Scherz family, and many great friends. And if you weren't here either, you missed out big time, too!
