I arn going to take a break and give you one too. I have received rnany words of encouragement and thanks over these years from many of you out there. Lately what has ail this Urne been a pleasure to do, has become a chore and what with the trouble with my eye- sight for close up work, as 1 arn a hunt and peck typist, I find 1 arn spending more time erasing my mistakes than on anything else. Also my writing is getting so bad that even 1, can not read it when I get home from Church. So, thank you for your support, and who knows per- haps after a short respite over the summer, I may be back. Have a wonderful summer.
