November 2004
Our president, Dave Jones presided over the meeting.
There were only about 20 persons present. Visitors were John Hussel (?), Jim Weast (?), Bob McCombs, and Bob Bode. We are certainly glad these folks joined us.
Former member Dave Wentz, who was injured in a farm tractor accident, is making progress. Paul Weinberger is scheduled for some surgery. Paul’s wife is doing better. Myke Hymes was able to join us for about half of the meeting: Myke’s wife can not be left alone
