I have made this letter longer than usual
because I lack the tine to make it short. -Pascal
Back in July, Betty started feeling guilty because we hadn't done a newsletter and all kinds of stuff was still going on. But we said "no newsletter" in July and August, right in print. So, what I think we'll do is put all this good stuff in Betty's folder and when she thinks we have enough current material we will, by gosh, do a newsletter (if she checks her folder).
- Thanks to Jack and Evelyn Beale for digging lip a dedicated and enthusiastic corps of school house volunteers for the Shasta District Fair. And thanks to all you good folk who volunteered and represented the Society with dignity and couth.
- As a starting point for an Ed Davis obituary, there were two things I appreciated about him: a fellow never had to pussy-foot around to find out how Ed felt about any issue; and, when there was hard work to be done, Ed would jump in and do it before anyone else had a chance to. Ed will be missed.
- Have you ever observed that sleeping is something like eating Chinese food? An hour after you wake up you feel tired again.
- The trickle of nice comments about the newsletter has turned into a fair-size stream. THANK YOU! We haven't had a nasty letter in several months. Must be our critics have either died of apoplexy or quit paying dues.
