Happy Dollars Newman and Hargrove were happy to see President Pelz after her surgery, Denny reported that the Florida shoreline remained safe under his watch, Tom for both Jim and Kathy’s successful operations, Sweeney for his daughters regional and sectional equestrian awards at the U of Montana, Mike for Meijer food donating bags for the food collection, Everyone applauded as Mayor Sue put in a buck for her re-election, that was seconded by Bartmann and Schaffer as they were also happy to be re-elected and yours truly for a very romantic anniversary in Seattle, who would have thought one could have so much fun with no hunting or fishing involved.
F & F Newman shined brightly on this gloomy day as he used the Sun and many of its atmospheric
statistics to fine everyone. Rev. Bill is up next week and suggested that we all study our Bibles.
