Howdy
ya'll!
Just thought I'd drop a note for the alleleven.com crowd. Finally, Scooter
and I have finished the new car: the one you saw in my garage. It
looks different now! We started a web site and have only one page so far
but it will get bigger as time allows. This car is called the Vision as I
started this design in 2001. Originally planned to run in 04, the car just
made its maiden race and with the exception of a few normal new car issues, it
is great! The link is www.predatorvisiondsr.com.
Tell me what you think!

This is the
2004 tale of the Philip and Donna Groebe bunch!
“Cousin Fritz
said this is our Crest, so we can use it too!”
2002 Rafting in
Jamaica on the Martha Brae. It
didn’t sink but Phil looks worried!
Donna
(AKA Uma) is busy busy busy handling the “Central Offices” in her region of
SBC. She is in charge of about 7 of
them. You know, those are those
ugly phone company buildings with no windows!
She spend much of her limited spare time tending to our two grandsons
needs which apparently the Moms and Dads can’t handle as well as Uma can!
She is involved with a myriad of charities through her work and continues
to be an ‘artsy craftsey” type with projects going on all the time.
This week, she is making hats, sunflowers, badges and pearls for “Girls
Night Out” The plan is for all of them (about 18 total) to dress up and see
the movie “Calendar Girls”. All
I know is that they consistently talk about needing bigger buns?
The last GNO was some “Ya Ya Sisterhood” night! Wanna be in the
sisterhood, email dgroebe@aol.com
Philip
(AKA Poopah), working and teaching as usual.
Scooter and Philip sold the old race car operation.
As a new venture, He has designed and currently constructing a brand
spanking new race car for SCCA DSR racing in 2004.
I will send more info when available.

Our oldest, Charlene, is now teaching in Bolingbrook and busy chasing around grandson josh and involved in her Masters program at St. Xavier U in Chicago while dad Larry is in his basement office working as an independent residential fee appraiser. Josh is now 5 and is in pre-school and was recently a lead performer in the Bobby Noonan Christmas Show. He was the snowman and was quite the actor!

Daughter
Christi Rogowski is busy working at CARS auto body in Orland Park.
She is a Karaoke fanatic as well and spends hours and hours trying to
keep up with our grandson David (7 years) and does a pretty fair job with
Donna’s occasional help. With the help of some of the realty Groebe’s like David,
John and Lynn and Chuck, she and David now have their very own townhouse in
beautiful downtown Tinley Park, Illinois. Irishsinger27@aol.com
Scooter
(AKA Christopher)
has taken up residency
with his
bride Jessica Heaster
in their new townhome in Joliet. They
recently were blessed with a puppy. The
dog is a Puggle an intentionally breed dog that’s half Pug and
half Beagle. Named Zowie, she looks
just like a miniature bull mastiff and is a real fun puppy.
Scooter and Jessica were introduced by older sister Charlene and the rest
is history. Jessica teaches at a
grade school in Frankfort, Illinois and is also in her Masters program.
Scooter runs part of the parts part of the Pep Boys parts store in Orland
Park (say that 5 times real fast) and since his exit from racing and entrance
into home ownership, he is becoming more like Bob Villa than an Mario Andretti
and likes woodworking. So, if you
need parts or a coffee table, call Scooter. By the way, a new picture is coming!

P.S.
Did you know about the Groebe crest or vineyard Weingut Groebe (Vineyard Groebe) and you will find a winery owned by Groebes since the late 1700s. I am in conversation with my new cousin (Fritz:) about ancestor links. Just thought you'd like to know. PS, the wine is available in the States but is in Canada. I am trying get a case or two. Let me know if you want some! Also, there is a Software producer...how about "GroebeSoft"! really.....
