I want to apologize for this news letter. For some reason, nothing went right – copy and paste did it’s own thing and the mail program went bonkers. I heard from a couple of folks that they did not receive this letter so I am resending it to everyone, no matter what shape it is in. Think of it as “interesting formatting.”
If you did get the News Letter please note that I have included some golf information that just came in. I know that the folks going to the golf weekend in Mil Lac will be anxious to get that news.
Hopefully the next lettr will at least be presentable.

.We are looking forward to seeing some of you at Mable and Jim's.. Really looking forward to that.
I am still doctoring for my eyes and see a new Dr. tomorrow in Springfield, Il. just 60 miles from home. Hoping to get my botox there.
