Trip to greet long time friends and family for the beginning of the New Year and the New Century

January 1 2000 was on a Saturday. We flew Frontier Airlines from New York to Milwaukee on the Thursday before and rented a car to Drive to Durand.  Frontier had the best price and we got a weekend rate on the rented trip.

Our first stop was to see Eleanor Richtor in Milwaukee.  Eleanor was a senior citizen and former Woolworth employee for Dennis. She was pretty much alone in a retirement apartment and was over joyed to see us.

We started our New Years Eve partying in Augusta Wisconsin.  Helton didn't attend but Dennis joined his friends at the hotel in Augusta Wisconsin for supper.  We continued back in Durand with Family and finished the night at  aunt Jeanette's in Eau Claire Wisconsin

We had to get back to Milwaukee and fly to New York on New Year's Day.  We drove through a blinding snow storm to Eau Claire to greet Emogene and then on to Augusta Wisconsin to visit Tom and Peggy.  The snow storm turned to a rain storm as we approached Black River Falls.  It rained heavily all the way back to Milwaukee.  It was white knuckle time for most of the trip because of the severe wind and weather

This New Years is the one and only time that all four digits of the Calendar roll over.  Once every one thousand years and we got to celebrate it
