Jim Benz with the prayer and Hal Broadwater leading the pledge...  Your humble editor announcing that Max Johnson now resides at the Illinois Veterans Home.  Max can be found in Markword 2; he'd love a visit from you...  Please note the November Board Meeting has been pushed back a week.  We'll now meet on Monday the 15^th.  Same time (11:45 a.m.) and location (The Pier)...  Kudos to Mel Dillman and his crew for a great Fall Brawl.  Small crowd on hand but a great evening with outstanding food.  That steak was one of the best I ever had...  Doug Wilson has a great sense of humor and showed that with several great lines last week including, "I thought there would be more applause when Carlos stopped speaking."  And, "If you live in a median, you have more troubles than what district you live in."  Good stuff...   Jim Benz announcing the Tin Dusters had 913 cars participate in their fall color show and subsequently donated $13,600 to Camp Callahan.  More good stuff...  John Wood Community College President Tom Klincar passing out basketball schedules and passes for both the men and women's programs...  Frank Hays had the right ticket but picked the wrong card (sever of hearts)...  Bruce Broemmel twisting tails...  Sorry so late this week.  Stuff happens...  That's all for now, 'til next time, may God's love, grace, and peace be with you and the ones you love.
