The Queen of Chicken Night, Jean Poquette Hansen has moved into her new abode that was purchased late this fall. The moving had been completed by Tuesday so that the apartment she had been living in in De Pere could be ready for the landlord to inspect by the months end. Hansen was unable to move into the structure immediately due to the extensive remodeling involved in the interior of the home. Hansen found the home unlivable when purchased and set the wheels in motion to secure a larger note then what was needed just for purchase. The extra funds went into the home for improvements such as new doors, flooring, paint, cabinets, and appliances. With construction and installation of all the improvements mentioned Hansen had to delay moving by two months in order to complete the improvements enough to move in. The home located on Crippen St. in Greenleaf had been owned by a couple that separated from marriage the previous year. Just two blocks away from the intersection of the two super highways 96 and 57 the location lends itself to a central location allowing easy access to De Pere, Wrightstown, Lark, Morrison, and Denmark. Being within 5 miles of Wrightstown Hansen will undoubtedly visit the wonderfully infamous"Dick's" supermarket on regular basis. Imagine a supermarket with hot broasted chicken ready for purchase on a moments notice! Hansen will also be within blocks of the Greenleaf Fire Dept. famous for creating disturbances large enough to congregate the entire county police force in one corner of Brown County. Another big plus and probably a major selling point for Hansen was the Greenleaf location of the Progressive Farmers branch close enough to be seen from the back widow of the home. Anytime a Progressive Farmers is within walking distance of you home life becomes more simple.

Alex Pickett is now back in Germany after a short hitch in Salaam, Kuwait. "Pally" as he had become to be known had a medical condition known as an umbilical hernia which causes a small tear around the belly button and a small bulge. Upon examination in Kuwait military doctors were convinced that surgery was the only answer removed him from duty and sent him back to Germany. Upon arrival to Germany doctors upgraded his condition and said that the surgery was unnecessary and put him on some light duty. It is now thought that the condition has healed itself and he is progressively going back to regular duty. If you care to communicate with the "Pal" send mail to: (line 1) SRA Alex Pickett (line two) PSC 1 Box 1182 (line 3) APOAE 09009. You can also e-mail him at alex.pickett@ramstein.af.mil He is able to receive photos in his e-mail so you can include them, but mention in the text that you have photos attached.

Remodeling is again underway in the KAMR headquarters so that construction can be completed in time for Christmas. What is hoped to be completed before that holiday eve is, build up of the floor to subfloor level to mate hardwood floors between the kitchen and sunroom, installation of two chandeliers above the island in the kitchen, rework of ceiling in kitchen to accommodate new wiring for chandeliers and new upper cabinets. Once again THE KAT AND MICK REPORT is extending it's generosity to the Poquette family and allowing the facility to be used for the family Christmas Eve party. In the remaining weeks to come "The Kat" will be contacting everyone with instructions on what to bring to Christmas Eve. The garage will once again be the meeting place for the smokers and the newly completed Turkey Bowl DVD will be shown on a number of televisions in the facility. That's all the news that is news, see ya.

Robert VanLanen had expected not to be home for Christmas this year because of his Air Force Reserve commitments. VanLanen who had been in the reserves since he left regular military service years ago was called into active duty this past week and ordered to serve in Qatar, a small country bordering Iraq. VanLanen also said the long flight to the country, some 17 hours, "sucked." Now with the travel behind him a nine hour shift in his body clock, he is struggling to regain his composure while coping with twelve hour duty, midnight to noon. Anyway he should by now be getting settled in a bit, and should have completed his tour of duty hopefully before the next Turkey Bowl. Anyone who wishes to write to him can send e-mail to this address: robert.vanlanen@winmadi.ang.af.mil

In another story related to the Air Force The Newsletter has learned that the military is working on the creation of a new weapon designed to specifically target Osoma BinLaden. As you know after the capture of Sadam Husain by Pally the Air Force created the Palbot 6000 a robot version of Pally in hopes of catching BinLaden hiding in the rough terrain of Afghanistan. While this version of the killing machine was unsuccessful in finding the notorious terrorist the military is hopeful the new Palbot 9000 will be able to do what the Palbot 6000 was unable to do. While no photos of the highly classified Palbots exist THE KAT AND MICK REPORT has received highly sensitive drawings of both Palbots showing accurate details of the killing machines. The Palbot 9000 has had a more sophisticated optical system installed in hopes of spotting the bearded villain. It is hoped that a combined effort by both Palbots will capture BinLaden and the need for the real Pally to track and capture or kill the desperate terrorist leader will not be be necessary.
