| Message | Al very graciously gave me a job after a very difficult time in my life and I am "forever" grateful. It was an awesome job. Working for Danny, then Daubo. Making Svedish meatballs and Svedish pancake batter. Smelling and sampling Pat Oleson's pies! Yummy! Listening and watching Johnny O, Kirk and Hampster. I may not have known it then, but looking back now, we ALL were/are extremely fortunate to have worked for such generous man! One memory that comes to mind was my first experience pickling herring. After Danny and I jarred most of the herring up, he asked me to start marking some off to the side for Don E. 5 minutes later he finally told me they were "done"! Al & Ingert, THANK YOU! |

| Message | I came to Ingert and Al 1974. Worked for 17 summers doing everything from Pine Taring to working behind the line, Hugging Waitresses and picking up goats creating panic on Hwy 42. Lots of wild and crazy memories and good times with fantastic people in the kitchen and dining room. A great way to learn the language, work ethics and find new friends. (Now they are old friends). Wishing all of you the best of times at the party! Take pictures! Thanks Ingert and Al for giving me the opportunity to work for you. Per |

| Message | An arrogant gentleman at a six top said he wanted waffles. When I explained that we didn't serve them, he said "Listen honey, I have been eating here since before you were born and I have had waffles right here" I walked into the kitchen and got Al. He stood over the man, blue rag in his hand, and, in his booming voice, said "I'm Al and I have NEVER served waffles!" and walked away. Then I heard the man's wife say "I told you not to mess with her!" Thanks Al. |

| Message | People always say I get a misty eyed when I talk about my time at Al's. And it is true. I loved every minute of it. Well maybe not the white socks part--I never could quite get the socks right. Loved watching Al do the dishes when we would get slammed in the fall. He would spray water everywhere but on the dishes, shove the rack into the dishwasher, let it go for about 30 seconds, then carry the steaming rack out to the dining room with his shirt soaked with lingonberries, pancakes, whatever, much to the horror and delight of the customers. Loved the scrawled messages left by Ingert on the bathroom mirror. “Girls, Girls no eating in the bathroom!” Loved it when Al would follow a waitress into the bathroom, chewing her out for a dreaded math error, still sputtering as she tried to make an escape into the stall. Loved it when Al showed his wonderful tender side by following Mariah into the bathroom to comfort her after a bad night with a customer. (A lot of drama played out in that little bathroom.) Loved watching Brynn dispose of a pair of underwear she had found on the dining room floor. (She used a fork.) Loved listening to Al’s stories about WWII. (What was the name of that woman in Paris?) Loved the first week after Labor Day, when the regulars showed up at the counter, and we all relaxed a bit because we have survived another season. Loved Helen's Banana Cream Pie! Most of all, I loved the way Al and Ingert treated all their employees with respect and dignity. |

| Message | I worked as a hostess and graduated to a waitress during the Dicky Burress, social coordinator years of 1972-1975. The crew and the fun we had rarely left me not wanting to come to work. Al, there was no better employer than you & none had a healthier set of lungs! How the wall phone stayed on the wall remains a wonder to me. I still can remember how you cradled the rag to wipe off tables gently under your arm pit and casually stood in front of a (usually a window) table that was taking way too long to exit but made them feel like they just conversed with the president by the time they left. Some memories were the perch quotas that left someone driving to Chicago for fresh perch, building the logged restaurant around the original facility while we were working in it, new carpeting, more bathrooms to clean, don't eat french fries out of the tray, the kitchen floor is VERY slippery in clogs, waitress nightmares, pancakes called in first and than pork chops-13min?s, Dabo would make me crepes with powdered sugar for lunch-I still love 'em that way, roast beef sandwiches, Al's appreciation night(s)n lots of special people, Kirk, Hamster, Johnny O, Dabo, Danny, Evie, etc. Best recollection was Dicky's imitation of Al and family pickling herring late at night. Dicky, I didn't know you knew how to speak Swedish? Thank you Al and Ingert for your vision, work ethic and fortitude to make special summers happen year after year for so many people. Congratulations on 60 years of success! |
