August 2010

 

Picnic

We had another great picnic. About 30 persons were present. There was wonderful food and conversation. Even the weather was not bad – A bit warm, but a nice breeze.

We learned that Carl Mercer has had another heart attack. We certainly miss Carl and hope he has a swift recovery.

We also heard that Roy Reveal, a former member (until about 2001), recently died of a heart attack while attending a Valley Wood Workers meeting.
