Dave, Sorry to hear Mike goofed up on netting a nice sized walleye.

Gary Fick

Gary,
Thanks for the condolences (the fish was really nice).
I don't want Mike to feel badly, but I really wanted that fish.

Nice catch of walleyes for getting a late start. Sounds like it could have been even better if  M.F.K. new how to handle a net. Well at least he got off his butt for a change and tried. Next time he can stay behind the wheel where he usually is and keep us on the fish.

Sam,
Yes, its too bad about that fish, I've always wanted to catch a fish that I could hang on the wall.
I think that might have been THE WALLEYE.

Hey Dave, glad to see you guys caught some walleyes the other day. I'm looking forward to doing some trout fishing next week.

I hear Buck knocked one off at the net. Was it a big fish?

Nick,
You know, the more that I think about that fish...... I'd say a possible state record.

The fishing trip on the bay father's day looks to be a successful one but from what I have read Mike must have mis-netted a big walleye.

Sammy,
Yup, we had a good day, but that one fish...........definitely a new state record walleye.
I wonder what the world record is?

Skoie told me that Uncle Buck couldn't net a big fish for you. How big was it?

Josh,
I am absolutely convinced that it was a world record walleye.  I feel bad for Mike,
but it was a monster!  Click here for my recollection of that world record fish that
got away.

Can't believe how talented my Godchild has become with the computer and creating a terrific website. Does he do any work anymore for Saginaw Township? (Just kidding.) That talent must come from me!!

Michael - Your are toooooo funny! I'll have to find out why Sparty wears a skirt - a great warrior!

By the way, your cousin, Amy, is being inducted into the Alma Hall of Fame in October for winning the Division 3 National Championship in 1992. Can any other relatives claim the same????

Congratulations Amy!  A well deserved honor.

Ryan:
Thanks for visiting and the kind comments.  The Silver Bullet guys really enjoyed the tournament this past weekend.  We'd
like to thank your family for the invite.  If you have any pix from the fishing tourney (or any other fishing pix)
that can be scanned, I'd love to put them on the web site.  I think this is a picture of your boat, "The "Fishing List" taken

Mike: I have a possible answer why Sparty wears a skirt. Sparty wins the National Mascot contest almost every year. The muscular one won in the National contest in 2004-05. A skirt always helps a person look nice!!!!!

Glen:

We will have to wait for Mike's wisecrack reply relating to this mascot issue.  In my opinion regarding mascots, MSU - 1   U of M - 0

All Michigan State fans are washing their Sparty skirts today with tears. It just doesn't seem right!!!!

It was a tough loss for the Spartan fans.  However, it certainly was a great game.
I'm waiting for comments from Aunt J, Uncle F,. Josh. as well as Alex, Tim & Nate.  I think
we can expect something from Mike.

We've had a few more tears to shed since that U of M game!With the Spartans and the Lions, you just can't expect constant wins. Let's hope our basketball season will bring us great victories. I do hear that U of M's bball team will be a contender this year. Go Green!!!!!

Aunt J:
Don't give up on the Sparty football team yet, they could be playing for a decent bowl.  But do I get the basketball thing.  Ol' Tom will extract revenge on those nasty Wolverines.

Hi Dave, With 2005 coming to a close, has there been a winner declared for the Club Award (bad netting technique)?

Gary:

Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot about the award.  I'll have to consult with the other non-nominees (which is pretty much Joe and I) and take a vote.  That hack job of Buck's was brutal,  Sam's on the other hand was sort of.....well, it was  Sam.  I'll post the winner after the new year.  Thanks again for the reminder.

I don't like to brag or anything, but don't most good teams play in the NCAA?? It seems to me that one of the teams from our state has to play in the NIT. I love one of the placards at the MSU/U of M game that read, "Real men wear shirts and ties". I don't think I've ever seen Tommy wear a shirt. Go Green!!

Yes, there is certainly quite a difference between the NCAA and NIT tournaments.  Sort of like major league baseball vs. little league.  Go Green!

Glad to see I rank right up there with the best of them. However, I'm dead meat after Round 2. I had Ohio State winning it all! Oh well, our Big Ten sure fizzled!! By the way, Uncle Frank says to tell Mike that what we're doing is gambling!!!

Aunt J.:
Don't be too quick to count yourself out.  I believe that no one is out of it this year and the unusual just may happen (although picking Ohio State might have been too pro-Big 10).  BTW, I recall hearing that sermon myself.

Now, Now Aunt J, Uncle Frank needs to be reminded of a question Grandpa Kern asked the pastor about competing for money in bowling. He was told that it was a game of skill and therefore OK. This is a game of skill (of the mind) in calculating statistical information and analyzing evidence before coming to a logical conclusion. You know, much the same thing that an auditor would do on his job. Oh My, if it is gambling, then Uncle Frank must have had a career of it??!!?? :-) Steve

Well, if the pastor said its ok, then.......lets double the bets!

I must agree with Uncle Frank on this gambling issue. The man who taught us to gamble on euchre, as part of the Nuechterlein Hardware Bowling Team should know. This is unlike playing cribbage against Nick where the outcome is a certainty.

Mike:

Wasn't it just last year that a certain non-gambling Uncle provided both you and I with a document containing the rules of a card game; a game that involved beer and betting and that was best played in a tavern?  And didn't he sort of insist that we take the time to learn this game?......I think it was called Skeen or something like that.   Nah, it couldn't have been Uncle F.,  it must have been someone else.

"I get no respect!" I can put myself into Mike's place for getting all kinds of misplaced criticism only because he didn't land a fish. Now the target has been changed to another 3rd sibling of his family. But, you know, Mike and I have both gotten used to such comments and consider the sources. Uncle Frank

Uncle F.:

Dave: Just a matter of correcting some of the Kern History. Under "History of Our Kern Family In America, we have listed the following: 18 year old Peter - - -16 year old Johann W.

The correct ages of the above were as follows: 18 year old Johann W.- -16 year old Peter. Please make the change. Thanks Also want to let you know that an updated history has been submitted to Bavarian Lodge Kern Room, which brings the history up to date, while the original history will also be in the room, written by Wallace, Uncle Jim, and Norine Kern. I have also given some pictures to them to place in the room as well. When all is done, I will let you know. Another item: Wallace Kern showed me the grave of Johann W. in the St. Lorenz churchgrove. I wonder whether you would like to take a picture of it for your website? Let me know, and I can show you the grave. Followed Nick's running at Boston today. Seems he had a good run. Uncle Frank

Will get'er done.  Do  you have a copy of the updated document?  Think trout!

Dave: As to the update of Kern History, I am waiting until Ray Bergdolt, at the Lodge, approves of my write up and pictures, after which time I will send you the history. O.K. You didn't answer as to whether you are interested in the grave stone, not yours, but Johann William's. For your information, we had a meeting of the Kern Reunion Committee and have two speakers scheduled for historical highlights. One is Ed Beyerlein who will talk about his grandfather John Kern and either Matt or Ron Kern regarding the history of Kern's Sausages. The date is August 13th and hope you and your family will be able to make it. Uncle

Uncle F:

Its about time that you begin work on the Bernthal's.  Steve volunteered to assist with the family stuff, and I think the two of you will make outstanding collaborators.

Are the Tigers for real? I know they have been playing some fairly bad teams, but they have have been playing good baseball. I am thinking about getting a dish so I can watch them on Fox Sports Detroit.

Nick:

They are much improved this year.  Leyland is an outstanding manager and the change in play is apparent.  The young pitching has matured, and the hitters seem to have a clue as to what's going on. The defense is better than previous years'.   The Tigers are fun to watch to-date.

Will it hold up?  I wouldn't order the dish until after 50 or so games, by then we will know it this team is for real.  BTW, I've already ordered playoff tickets.

Thought I'd better check in with the family since we returned from Alaska. We had a great time, but only had good weather the first 3 days when we could see Mt. McKinley from Anchorage. We splurged and took a "small" bush plane up into the glaciers, way up into and above the mountains and then we landed on a beautiful lake on our way down. Landing on water is about the smoothest landing you can have. Alaska sure is a huge state and we only saw a small portion of it.

In the past few days I have called out a few guys for definite man-card violations. However, besides the few listed on the card, I have no list of offenses that would result in the removal of ones card? Is it possible to have the Silver Bullet team compile a complete list of unmanly actions and the penalties for such violations?

 

Complete list?  Nah,  A Man Card holder knows instinctively when a violation has occurred.  No lists of violations are needed, just impose the penalty.  Things like snuggly pillows and the like are clearly 1 hour card suspensions.

I have a nice writeup on the Bernthal family. Dr. Wilmar Bernthal edited writeups from several sources. They are traced back to Switzerland. I'm related to them too through my mother who was a Weber.The orginal Weber from Frankenmuth married Kuniganda Bernthal. If you give me your email address I will email it to you.

Also, I see that you got the attention Georg Beyerschmidt from Germany. I saw him & Effi in Germany in 1989 when he took my family around in Nuremburg and Rosstal.

It's been a long time since I've checked your Guest Book. Keep up the good work.

Never thought I would say this, Mike, but I hope Ohio State takes Florida to the cleaners, as U of M certainly should have played for the National Championship. Go Blue and beat USC!! They need to win a bowl game one of these years!! Who knows, MSU might be up in those ranks one of these years. (Don't hold your breath!)

Hallo lieber Harry, Wir haben uns ja vor dem Weihnachtsfest schon persönlich am Telefon frohe Weihnacht gewünscht. Wir wissen dass Ihr am Heilig Abend alle zusammen ward und zusammen die Bescherung gemacht habt. Das finden wir immer sehr schön. Auch bei unserer Gabi wird das so gemacht. Einzeln werden die Geschenke verteilt und es wird gewartet bis jeder sein Geschenk bekommen und geöffnet hat. So war es auch bei uns ein schöner, harmonischer heiliger Abend. Wir hoffen, dass Ihr die Feiertage gut verbracht habt. Sicher ward Ihr auch in der Kirche und habt auch gut gegessen. Bei uns gab es die übliche deutsche Weihnachtsgans. So wünschen wir Euch für das neue Jahr alles Gute, Gesundheit und Wohlergehen für die ganze Familie.

Herzlichst grüßen Euch Eure Freunde aus Old Germany

Effi und Georg:

Thank  you so much for the very nice holiday note from Germany.  Your Michigan friends wish you a very Merry Christmas and our prayers are with you and your family for the upcoming New Year.

At a gathering last night, dad (Harry) translated your message to the entire family, and all were happy to hear from you.  May God's blessings be upon the Bayerschmidt family.

Thank you for dropping by and leaving a note.  The family history work on this web site should be credited to Frank Kern of Frankenmuth as well as others who have contributed.  Although the data on our site is certainly not extensive, its been fun and interesting learning experience for me.  There are others (most notably Wallace Kern) that have compiled vast amounts of Kern genealogy data.   Best wishes to you and your family, and maybe some day we will meet at the Kern Reunion in Frankenmuth.

4th and last time to try to send a message!!!

I was proud of our Spartans effort against North Carolina. They just ran out of gas and don't have a deep enough bench and "long arms"1 Ibok was out with an injury.

My main reason for sending a message is I want to know if Michael (Buck) is going to apply for either of the U of M basketball coaching positions??? The radio show I listened to today said that U of M needs to start spending some real money on that program, not just think athletes want to come there because it is U of M!!

Ouch, that hurts.....
Ah yes, how long has it been since the Wolverines have sent an honest basketball team to the NCAA's?

It seems that a certain CMU graduate is ahead of a certain U of M nephew!! (and, I don't mean Harry as the CMU graduate - we know he is ahead) However, I will be rooting for Florida tonight and my DIE KATZ could be the winner. Somehow, I will get her paws to work to endorse the check!! Don't worry, Uncle Frank, we will not be audited!! Sorry, Harry, I will root against OSU!!

I'm sure its a taxable event.

National Championships and Final Fours in the winter sports are becoming commonplace at MSU, and being the compassionate, kind, salt of the earth types that we are, we don't want to rub it in.

We do wish to welcome to the Big 10 a basketball coach at Michigan that CAN win the NIT.

"On the Banks of the Red Cedar"!! Saw the latest comments and had to reply. Yes,MSU did win the National Championship in hockey!! They had a parade for them last evening which ended up with a reception at the Munn Ice Arena. We are battling colds, so we didn't attend. That team put it all together and beat some very good teams (I believe U of M was somewhere in there too!!) Let's hope the new football coach can put something together and we will once again have some win seasons!

Out of curiosity is there any connection between your family and that of Johannes Conrad Kern, born Berlingen Thurgau, Switzerland 1808-1888?

This is as far back in my mothers family that I have been able to go.

God Bless.

I'm sorry Mark, but I am unable to link to those names (alas, I am certainly not the genealogist of the clan).  Best of luck to you as you search the ancestors.

Todd, Thanks for dropping by.  Good luck on your search for your family's history.  I am learning that there are numerous branches of the "Kern" family tree (also a forest of trees).

I figured I should drop a quick line to say hello all the way from Cheltenham, UK. I have been in the schools the last few days, but will be fishing next Thursday in Newbury, UK. I have sampled several different English beers and visited many pubs. We are having a great time. -Nick

We know that you are studying very hard.   But somehow, we also knew that fishing would come into play on this trip.  Make Izaak Walton proud; and take some pictures.

Will the Tigers ever win again? I wonder if I loan my lucky fishing shirt to Jim Leyland if they could turn things around.

Nick:
Well, its not looking very good for the Tigers right now.  But they are playing with half of their roster, and part of Toledo's.  Once they get healthy, look out.  Yup, from the looks of those trout this year, Jim Leyland could use that lucky shirt!

Ah Yes, I have to add my comment too about the Michigan loss to Appalachian State High School. I watched the replay of the 4th quarter last night. It is not like Michigan did not have multiple chances to win that game. If they are the Champions and the Best, they need to be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Mr. Michigan (Jimmy Bickel) is already calling for a coaching change. Seems he did that for his beloved Frankenmuth Eagles too. Oh well, I hope Michigan wins all but one of the rest of their games this year. You probably know which one I want them to lose. Go Green!!!!

Just a comment about AJ's comment. funny thing is that Apppp-a-something-state did. in fact. play U of M FLINT's 2nd string of the flag football team (with 7 of those participants being freshmen women). Our first string was sad that they couldn't make the game, but due to some pinky sprains and chronic bloody noses they were not even able to be water boys. (I know this because the captain is in one of my classes this fall.) BUT good thing we were able to upgrade from our flag team that week to our two hand touch team for the Notre Dame game... As for the state game..... There are not many concerns...... rumors i have heard lately are that we will be saving ALL football teams and bringing out a mixture of Ann Arbor and Flint badminton teams.. but like I said.... just rumors. Oh, and Nick... SVSU... well you guys might wanna try to start competing with GVSU before you start to think of attempting to take a shot at U of M.....

I love you all... and hopefully I will be checking in much more often! -Kate

Hey, Mike! Whatever would your team do without Mike Hart? A local radio personality will have nothing to do with his U of M until they get rid of "Floyd" (as he calls him.)

The question is: Will Lloyd retire after this year?  He is a darn good coach.

Hi! I am a Kern relative living in California. My son, Christopher John Arns, found your web site. My mother was June Eleanor Kolfage, daughter of Josephine Unger and John Gerald Kolfage. My mother's sister was Joyce Kolfage of Long Beach, California. My mother and aunt came to California from Detroit with their mother (Josephine) after their father died. I believe Josephine's mother was Lizzie Kern.

 I have two brothers and a sister: Robert Wayne, Brian Ward, and Rosanna Jo (named after Josephine). We were all born on the island of Cyprus, where my parents moved in 1953. My mother was married to Lewis W. Moore, of Long Beach - previously from Boundbrook, New Jersey. Mom (June) passed away in Reno, Nevada in June 2003.

I currently live in a suburb of Sacramento, California. I have two children: Christopher and Laura Arns. My mother's cousin, Robert Unger, lives in Stockton, just south of here with his wife, Roberta. I believe Bob's father was George, brother to Josephine. As a matter of note, my siblings and I have been to Frankenmuth several times as children and young adults. My brother, Brian, and I visited with Jim and Vera Kern for Thanksgiving in 1973 while I was attending chiropractic college in Davenport, Iowa. I can remember a great chicken dinner at Zehnders with Frieda, Walter, and the rest of the immediate family when I was a teenager.

Thanks for creating a great family site. I enjoyed reading the history.


Lisa:

Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a note.  Its amazing how one family that immigrated in 1852 and 1861 has grown to the many descendents today.  Its also remarkable that the "immigration" continues to the many parts of the country, or as is the case with your family, the globe.

Although I'm not a "family genealogy expert", (Wallace Kern has documented the Kern history) I do enjoy reading the stories of the "cousins" and I'd like to thank you for your message and for sharing the story. Frank Kern (brother of Jim above) assembled the data for these family web pages as a favor for our immediate family, which I for one, really appreciate.  

Best wishes from Frankenmuth (and Millington)....remember, this little corner of the world is still part of your roots.

My hat's off to U of M and their bowl victory. Mike - believe it or not, I did cheer for them. I decided it was time Lloyd Carr won a bowl game. A little too much trash talking in the game for me, but it came from both sides. Happy New Year to all my Kern relatives! By the way, Dave, that is a nice picture of your family on the Home Page. Girls all look different - straight hair, curly hair, brown hair, blonde hair!!

The chant at Breslin today was, "Little Sister", "Little Sister". That must have had something to do with Hart's statement about playing "Little Brother" in football!!! Way to go MSU - defeated a U of M team that didn't look too good!!! Go Green Go White!!

Yes, Michigan's basketball team is pathetic.  That Spartan student cheering section can be brutal, but funny too.  And we all know how they feel about the Wolverines.  I must be a front runner as I'm sort of a Michigan football fan (even though I also watch and pull for Sparty), but I'm a State basketball fan, primarily because I love to watch an Izzo coached team.

Is there going to be another Kern Pool?? For some reason U of M doesn't see fit to recruit down in Detroit. Is it beneath them?? Uncle Chuck just read that in revamping the Big House, for every handicap seat, they are losing 13 normal seats. So, you know, those seats were really scrunched together!! Let's hope our Spartans do well in the upcoming Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments!! If they only could play every game like they did against Indiana at the Breslin. Our East Lansing Trojans meet Saginaw High on Friday at the Breslin. I think our boys may have met their Waterloo!! I've been to 3 of their tournament games so far, and 2 of them have been nail biters!! Go E.L., beat Saginaw!! Too bad Frankenmuth lost to Menominee!!

Yes, we plan on a 2008 Kern Pool.  And all past winners are required to participate.  Sort of thought that we might do a computer pool, but decided that we will continue as in the past.  I'll correct papers (it allows me to appreciate the plight of the family's teachers).  Let everyone know its $2/no holla.  Postmarked by the first game.

Go Sparty!

Hi! I've enjoyed spending time on your web site. I, like I'm sure many, came across your site doing family research. Marie Kundinger, Daughter of Johann William is my link into the Kern family. I was very pleased to come across the photo that's posted of Marie and her 3 sisters. Would you happen to know what date she was born and when she passed away? Looking over the ships manifest of 1861 posted, I note that there is one other Ann Maria Kern daughter on board, Maria, 4 years old, and no mention is made of her elsewhere. Can you share anything on her? We hope to be up your way soon. ---Thanks

I have a pic. of the 1912 Millington baseball team. And according to a plaque I have it says they were the state champs that year. Do you know anything about this team? Or any names. The plaque belonged to the captain and 1st baseman last name Richardson. He is the grt grandfather to a friend of mine. My e-mail is michsportsfan2000@yahoo.com

Thanks for leaving the note.  Regarding the 1912 Millington baseball team, I have very limited knowledge.  A friend, also named Larry, grandfather played on that team.  It has been said that this team played an exhibition game against the Detroit Tigers as well.  I have no idea what state championship they won (most likely an amateur association of some type).  Is it possible to get a scanned copy of that photo?  I and a few other Millington folks would appreciate a copy.  ( dave@millingtonnews.net )
