NEWS FROM
GLORIA LENARDSON
After Gloria’s mother died, Gloria left Venice to go to Michigan to sell her mom’s house. She is still trying to sell the house, but in the meantime, her daughter, Angela Reichert, opened up Ozzie’s Eatery across the street from her WOW Gallery. Gloria is running the art gallery while Angela and her partner Rick Ott are running the eatery; Angela designed the building for the Eatery. Gloria supplied the following information from a local paper.

Harbor County News, New Buffalo, MI paper describes Ozzie’s Eatery…two cuts above typical fast-food fare, a great cup of coffee, sinfully satisfying desserts, velvety frozen custard—pistachio, pumpkin, tiramisu flavors, cheesecakes, cannoli, chocolate-dipped frozen bananas, and features Panini Sandwiches with multi-grain ciabatta bread and combos of roast beef, turkey, ham, vegetables and cheeses, lightly toasted in a machine resembling a waffle iron. They also serve breakfast. |

JACK APPLEBY 07/31/1922—2/2/2007
Jack Appleby was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois, and went to Bradley College, then into the Coast Guard, where he taught welding and engine mechanics for four years. He met and married Marion sixty-three years ago in her home town of New London, Connecticut, when he was stationed there and she was one of the Rainbow Girls volunteering at the Masonic Service Center. After leaving the service, Jack took over his father-in-law’s roofing and sheet metal business in Waterford, Connecticut, while Marion worked as bookkeeper. Jack also worked in the roofing business in Miami, as an engineer for Monsanto, and as a home inspector. Marion has worked as a real estate broker. In the course of many years and much travel they have owned, rebuilt, or remodeled a number of houses, two of them in Barbados, where they lived for eleven years as members of the Paradise Beach Club. The Applebys have always been avid sailors, and have owned a total of twenty-two boats, notably a forty-one-foot Hatteras, in which they cruised to the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, and elsewhere. They have been members of the Venice Sailing Squadron. They moved to the Gulf Coast in 1973. The Applebys have three daughters, eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Their eldest daughter Janis has a master’s degree in education and teaches at the high school in Venice, where she lives with her husband Robert Moore, International President of the Kiwanis. Their second daughter Nancy is an attorney, with her own offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C. Their youngest daughter Joan has a degree in education and teaches math at the middle school in Toms River, New Jersey.
Jack’s hobbies included playing drums, jewelry design, and metalworking. He made thirteen grapefruit-size bronze copies of the two-story steel “Children of the World” sculpture in front of the Kiwanis’ International Headquarters building in Indianapolis, IN. {See the second picture} Six of these pieces were donated to various heads of state around the world by son-in-law Robert Moore on his travels for the organization.
Jack was the speaker at our November 3, 2003 meeting and explained how he made the globes using the investment casting technique. Our club members will never forget the “kiln” he constructed out of a cardboard box—painted it to look like a real kiln and used it to illustrate the firing procedure—keeping a deadpan face until the end when we all broke up laughing after the plastic top part “fell off”. We will miss his “little boy” enthusiasm even at age 84. What a life he had. He and Marion were in charge our very successful Feb 7-8, 2004 show.
