Good Morning Community!

You always hear people talkng about their "lucky numbers" in life, and well, this episode of The Buzz is no different.  My lucky number has always been number 34.  That was NFL superstar Walter Payton's number and I loved his style and character as a person.  When it came time for me to play sports in my youth, I always had to be number 34.  And throughout my life I've always associated the number 34 with great things.  

And you may be saying to yourself, "Wow, the number 34 is a pretty random thing to be talking about so extensively in The Buzz, isn't it?"

And normally, I would agree with you.  But today also happens to be... 34 Days until the start of Virtual bbcon 2020!!!

Here's the latest news about our all-virtual 2020 conference:

Ray Bergman‍ Yes, I live in Dubuque, Iowa but am on the border of Wisconsin. Jarrett has a home, and some very good friends, in the neighboring town of Dickeyville, Wisconsin, where my husband is also a part owner in a local company. Please do look me up if you are out this way. 
Karen Tuecke‍ - That is awesome!!!!!  Jarrett was no slouch as a football player himself.  I admire that entire family for their strength and fearlessness - exactly like Walter Payton was.  I remember watching a bowl game with Jarrett in it - I want to say the Orange Bowl, and was so impressed with his performance, but moreso with his interview after the game.  I think you're in the Midwest, correct?  Next time I'm out that way, I'll make a pilgrimage. :)
I am a hockey fan and always considered the number 11, double hockey sticks, to be my favorite number. 

Ray Bergman‍, Walter Payton was an iconic football player. I am so blessed to know his son Jarrett. You should come my way sometime and I would love to introduce you to him! He is so philanthropic and keeps his dads spirit alive. And yes, this picture was taken at our local bar, where we and he frequents. 

Yeah, 34 days and counting to bbcon!!
Oh my goodness only 34 more days - how exciting!
