* From a press release…

The Associated Beer Distributors of Illinois (ABDI) announced that the Board of Directors has unanimously elected Robert L. Myers Jr. as President effective January 2, 2014. Myers succeeds ABDI’s President Bill Olson who retired January 1, 2014, after twenty-nine (29) years of service to ABDI.

“After a thorough and deliberate selection process, the Board of Directors is delighted that Bob will serve as chief staff officer of ABDI,” said Gene McEnery, Chair of the Board of Directors. “Bob has a thorough understanding of the needs of our distributor members and his legislative contacts will be invaluable. I have no doubt that he is the right person to lead ABDI as ABDI enters its 76th year.”
Myers has worked for ABDI for 20 years, most recently as Vice President of Government Relations, where he oversaw all aspects of ABDI’s legislative initiatives.

“I am honored that the Board of Directors chose me to follow in the footsteps of Bill Olson,” said Bob Myers. “I am also thrilled that I will have the ability to rely on Bill’s counsel over the coming year as he is an exceptional executive, leader, role model and friend.”

Can’t top the Flounder reference.

I’m sure the Ricketts would love to sell that forehead to Budweiser, though.

“…as a Child Actor, he is best known as the silly, yet thoughtful ‘Timmy Thomas’ whose winning smile and jump shot were matched with his observations of life. His teen years were trying, first with a failed solo album titled ‘I Am NOT Timmy, So Stop Asking!’ and a failed invention of a skateboard with a 5th wheel. After numerous failed sitcom pilots, he left Hollywood and now sells pet insurance in his hometown of Greenwater, Arkansas, in a little storefront next to the Ben Franklin 5 and Dime and ‘Curley’s Barber Shop and Chicken Shack’ he lives with his pet cat ‘Sally Field’ just off the County Line Road.”

“…New Orleans Police say it is a case of ’someone getting into the Fat Tuesday spirit a little too much’.

Although the float he hijacked was returned unharmed, the French Quarter businesses estimate the damage to be roughly $60,000 which includes 4 awnings, 5 lamp posts, a empty horse buggy, and an oversized head of Ernest Borgnine made of paper mâché left from this year’s parade.

If convicted, he may serve up to 17 minutes in a local holding cell.”

“The Illinois Chapter of POLKA-POLKA Bands of America is pleased to announce free beer to be provided at our upcoming Annual Convention during the Annual-Combined Polonia/OktoberFest this coming October by the Associated Beer Distributors of Illinois (ABDI, of course), and due to the generosity of one of our very own LIFE-long members, ABDI President Bob Meyers (pictured here above at our last Meeting)!

Way to go Bob–we’ll see you all there, be sure to clean those Accordions before the Big Date is announced later this year, and also be ready to sing our Annual Rendition of “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall,” no matter HOW long it takes!!!
