Surprise at Suster’s

The tour’s practice of making stops in Wisconsin’s small towns continued Saturday as the motor coach made a surprise stop at Suster’s Arcade in Denmark.

While the restaurant’s famous broasted chicken was reason enough to visit, Mark Murphy and the Packers also wanted to recognize the restaurant’s proprietor with Packers ties, Ed Schuster. Schuster served on the team’s board of directors for 54 years (1931-85), the third-longest tenure in club history.

Murphy presented the family a plaque to be hung in honor Schuster, and then the group settled in to enjoy a spread that included chicken, potatoes, slaw and other tasty offerings.

“Now that was some good food,” Gilbert Brown declared.

“I wish I had a hot box. I’d take some with me,” added Antonio Freeman.
