We return to some rock'n'roll blogs again this week!
Thank you all for the nice condolences. I have received so many because of the passing of my father, Carl Zimmermann.
This week's blog is about Ted Nugent. He was playing somewhere in Milwaukee in April of 1981. I think it was at the Milwaukee Arena or Auditorium. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.
Ted had the best fan and PR lady around. It was his Mom! If I remember correctly, she was the one who let me in the back door to photograph Ted on this particular night. She was a cool lady and we miss her.
Enjoy some Ted and have a good week.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

It is Easter Sunday as I write my blog today. So I say Happy Easter to you and hope you had a nice day with your families.
The past few weeks around here have been very hard because my father passed away shortly after his 96th birthday. He lived 96 wonderful years and he would have been married to my mother 71 years next week. The love those two have is really something.
Today, we just have one photo of my dad, Carl Zimmermann, and another old friend that we lost several years ago, Uncle Vinty. They are having a glass of champagne in this photo and dressed to the nines!
I hope they are upstairs doing the same thing right now looking down on us all and having a glass of champagne. Miss you guys a lot.
Happy Easter everyone and next week we will get back to normal and get some good blogs going again.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

This week's blog is a continuation of last week's blog. The Legend, my father, Carl Zimmermann passed away on Friday April 11th.
On that afternoon, some family arrived in town to say their goodbyes and give a final kiss. Five minutes after they left, my brother got the phone call notifying us that Dad had passed away! The timing was just amazing!
Dad was a tough one and as I've said to a few people, if he would have been a POW he would have told them nothing and would have lasted weeks without food or water. That is exactly what he did here.
Enjoy some more photos of my wonderful father, the newsman, the patriot and of course the family man.
The first few pictures are of my mother and father. Next week, would have been their 71st wedding anniversary!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
