January 2005
Our president,
Dave Jones presided over the meeting.
There
were about 30 persons present. Visitors were Anna Stables, Sandy Moore, Tobey
Knight, and Fred Esker. We are certainly glad these folks joined us.
We
were glad to have Paul Weinberger back with us. Myke Hyme needed to stay home
with his wife and was not able to join us, but says to say hi. T K has had a
pretty tough time. We miss him and hope he will be getting better and able to
join us soon.
