ROBIN’S
Hello Friends – I “think” that Spring is finally here – it’s been a typical midwestern season for sure. The birds are confused and the trees and shrubs are as well. Hopefully, we will be on track for an actual spring with weather to match and get this year on track!

4/25/2026 - Celebration of Life for Dale Teel “Moby” 1-4pm Bushnell VFW 5/9/2026 – Music Trivia Night with the B-PC Football Team – 7pm at Bushnell VFW I try to not focus on a particular person in my column, but on general information. However, this column I’m going to veer off and focus on one guy – Dale Teel. These are just my impressions – I know everyone has a different view, but these are mine. If you have ever been to Delaney’s, the Silver Fox or the Bushnell VFW, chances are you knew Dale. He was the bartender at all 3 spots during his tenure in Bushnell. Dale passed away this last week after a very short war with his health. Some might say that is the way to leave – an “Irish Goodbye” if you will. Sneaking out without anyone knowing. Very fitting for a guy who had a giant love affair with Notre Dame Football. Anytime a game was on and Dale was working, suffice to say that the game came first! Dale knew the ins and outs of many subjects, but Notre Dame Football was in his top hits for sure. Followed by the Chicago teams – Bears and Cubs, but Notre Dame always had top billing!
Sports were not Dale’s only interest – the man could give you any information on music, he was a wealth of trivia information especially music. But it didn’t stop there! He was an outstanding bartender, who could and would make any drink you wanted – and threw the best bar parties around. Making his signature chili and decorating the area to fit the holiday/season (as well as outfitting himself in festive attire!), Dale made everyone feel at home when you came into his domain.
