Wisconsin polka legend ill

This being Wisconsin, I suspect that there is at least one or two polka fans who stop by the Badger Blog Alliance. Given that, I'd like to pass along our prayers and well wishes to the Verne Meisner family. Verne has long been a staple of the polka scene, and his son Steve has announced on his message board that Verne is quite ill. So Wisconsin polka fans, say a little (or big) prayer for him and his family.
