BILL'S MUSINGS!!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:  I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.  ---
John Thune

DR. M.A. RAY PARET
DR. M. A. PARET.  Obituary:  Link. Doves   Ray was a long time Marcoite "Gentleman" with a keen intellect and sense of humor.  Ray was involved in the initial establishment of Marco becoming a city and subsequent politics.  Ray first came to Marco in 1968 on his honeymoon and moved here permanently in 1982 from Virginia. Sparkling Flag                 Prayers go out to his wife, Carita, family and friends.  
Ray was a veteran of the Korean War.  
Marco has lost a dear friend.  RIP RAY!
HUMOR : THE BEST MEDICINE!!
1.)  Forgive and forget, but keep a list of names just in case.  2.)  If a thing is worth doing, it would have been done already.  3.) Hell hath no fury like the lawyer of a woman scorned.
