Early Visit to Rantoul or the Village with the Cool Mayor

[WFFC 1]

So, I get up Saturday mornng and make the 90 minute drive to Rantoul. Well, It's actually 82 minutes door to door driving 80, but anyhow. Get to Rantoul and catch up with Bernice and some other staffers for breakfast at Ott's. Good greasy spoon for those looking for somewhere in town. Anywho, head out to the airport to perform an early task for MartiniShotFilms then attend a volunteer meeting. Not a bad turnout and some returning faces. Mayor Neal Williams attends as well and commits time to volunteering as well.
After the meeting, the mayor invites the staffers back to his place to hang out for a bit before we all drive home.
So a couple of staffers are hanging their feet in the pool and Sheila (Mayors wife who now knows who the Rodriguez Brothers are - see official 2002 video) suggests that Neal do a cannon ball into the pool to splash the staffers who are hanging in the water. Well, said mayor allows me to get my video camera out of the truck to capture this priceless moment. On queue, the mayor takes the short run to the pool and yes, cannonballs it in for the pricesless moment of the day.
BTW, this guy was so impress with all of us that he has been wearing a closing pin necklace since last year. When the time comes, find him on the grounds at the Convention and introduce yourself and let him know where you're from. The people or Rantoul really do appreciate us, probably more than you think.

Ok, I heard this story from Bernice's perspective last night, something about a conspiracy by Michael and Neal to totally DOUSE her with the splash from the cannonball. If you have ever met Bernice, you know
she is not the 'wet hair in public' kinda gal
