BIRTHDAY PARTY REPORT






Representative John Coghill turned fifty-five on August 15th. District 11 decided to throw a birthday party to show our respect for him as our Representative and give all of us a chance to personally wish him a happy birthday. In one of his birthday packages was a birthday party hat that his wife, Luann, insisted he try on. How does he look? They both enjoyed the birthday party and want to thank everyone who came to help him celebrate 55 in 05.


Geri Benshoof, Precinct Chair for Badger #1 and Lenny & Ellen Ayotte enjoy the Bratwurst, while Representative Jay Ramras and former Representative Jeannette James appear to be having a philosphical conversation.







Chick and Carolyn Wallace, Charlie Walker, and Brenda Hewitt were among the people who came to wish Representative Coghill a Happy Birthday.











Del Moss, Treasurer of District 11 ARP, serves as relief chef to Representative Coghill after people complained we were making the birthday boy cook, while Leo Brown, long-time resident of the Badger Road area and a retired Teamster supervises.








Bud and Bev Violett from the Dennis Road area. Bud is a retired Teamster and owns Buds Small Engine Repair just off Dennis Road. He and Bev have been a long-time supporters of the district party. Bud is a former precinct chair. Next summer they will celebrate their 20th anniversary and Bud just had a birthday last month.






District 11 Vice-Chairman Doug Isaacson is, no doubt, talking economic development. Doug is a champion for natural resource development and developing a theme oriented expansion of the tourist industry in North Pole. He attended the Republican National Convention last year and ended up on the cover of the New York Times promoting ANWR.




Bradway Road residents, Trent & Lorice Ponsford visits with Connie McKee. Connie came all the way from Chena Hot Springs Road to wish Representative Coghill a Happy Birthday. Cheri Nickle is in the background.
