We Only Have A Couple Of More Days

Grand kids sons and daughters ask your parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents if they remember Al Weiland. See if they have any stories or photos to share here. You guys and gals can type while they tell the stories. Hopefully Al Will get a ton a cards and give the mail man a back ache, LOL.

Copy of an e-mail to the Iola Register.

And I went back and increased the print for better viewing,

Jocelyn Sheets,

I thought there might be a human interest story here for a sports story or one of your departments. Al Weiland turns 99 July 7th. I know kind of late notice but it just hit me tonight. I have tried to put together something with the help of some of the viewers on my forum http://www.hoseheadforums.com/forum.cfm?threadID=55927&CFID=26139668&CFTOKEN=cdf30c9af895ea42-ACCC0304-E7F2-6999-03631977B6E76BD3 Al was one of the top owners in the 50's, 60's and early 70's.
The neice is the one that contact me about this. She is the first reply to the thread. You can click on lisabaseball and send her an e-mail or reply to the thread.
I know there is a few race fans in the Iola, Chanute area. Ron Fowler (use to be Fowler Oil) from Chanute was one the big shoes that drove for Al.
Just a thought if you think maybe a little consideration. It might make a 99 year old eyes tear up.

Thank you to everyone who sent cards and posted birthday wishes and stories! Al received a lot of cards on his 99th birthday and we compiled everything from this site and gave it to him as well. He had a really great day! Thank you again and you'll be hearing from me next year when we celebrate his 100th!!
