Everything usually works out for the best in the long haul. A year and a half ago several of us went to the Portland Swap Meet. We had a great time. After being home for a while I noticed a wadded up jacket in the back seat. I knew who the jacket belonged to; it just never seemed to get home. After a year I brought it in the house and hung it up thinking now I won t forget to get it back to its owner. That took another six months. Finally, we were going to a function where your jacket could be returned and if some reason you did not attend we gave the jacket to friends that were going to see you the next day. Wally, you finely got your jacket back. I do not know if you though it was gone forever or not. Just took a long time to get it back to you. This gets back to how I feel about GWTA National. Whatever happens to the National Organization if it recovers, fine, if not, that is also fine. We in Chapter G are going to get along just great. Just like the long wayward jacket of Wally s. 6 Melanie Green 18 Cookie Yocom June Anniversaries 27 Mitch & Sheri Williams We ve had a couple of fun functions.

She stayed for dinner and a few rounds of Bunco. Just today we were at Joe and Carol s home to work on the state rally decorations. That turned out to be a very productive day. Carol had a lunch all prepared for us. Built up our energy and got lots of work out of us. We are very far along with our decorations.
