Record in 1948)

To often, we hear of those less fortunate than us, during the time
of their most serious and greatest challenges. I find It is very
gratifying to hear of the progress those individuals make along their
way to recovery. I am extremely pleased to share the following note from
Sandy Schrank with regards to her beautiful young Nessa Schrank. She
wrote:
Gary, just had to send a note on info of Nessa. She was home this
weekend for deer hunting. Saturday morning she got a 5x4 buck!!! One
excited girl!!!! The hunt from the vehicle tag is a great tool for
anyone with disabilities. And one shot had to count as reloading with
one hand isn't to fast. We are very proud of her drive to keep trying
all the things she loves to do. Some things go great others don't but
her grandpa has always said THERE'S NO SUCH WORD AS CAN'T, YOU HAVE TO
TRY!!! Just keeping you in the loop of the many people you help.
SANDY SCHRANK <<< Thank you so much for caring and sharing
Sandy. It would take a train a mile long to haul the all the prayers,
hope and well wishes folks directed to Nessa. Please give Nessa our best
regards, and, tell her there's another trainload on the way.

Almost every day, one or more, Gazettes are returned marked, "over
quota", "address unknown" or some such thing.
Sometimes I'm not really sure what to do. Normally I
continue sending the Gazette to that address for a week or so. If it
continues to come back, eventually I must assume it is no-longer a valid
address, or, in the case of those returned "over quota" I can only
assume the individual isn't opening the mail any longer.
Then of course there's another problem. Mine to be exact. For
instance, when I receive notes like the following. >>>
Hi Gary: I wrote to you a few weeks ago to tell you the
change in our email address. It doesn't look like it went through, as we
have not received any "Skeeterville Gazettes". We really enjoy getting
them and want to tell you again of the good job you are doing. We hope
that you get this email, so we can once again enjoy your gazette. All
is well in California and hope the same for North Dakota. Bye for
now. Judy (Gourde) Smith. <<< Now then,... First I
must apologize for my ignorance. I did receive Judy's note requesting
the change. I even made the change in my small, office quality, rolodex
index file. I can only attribute the fact that I didn't make the proper
address change in my computer to a brain flatulent of significant
proportions. However, I have made the correct address change now. I hope
the Gazette will once again reach the land of Disney.
-------------------------
Speaking of Disney, movies or plays. Chris Larson wants to remind
everyone about this weeks Far Off Broadway event.
Grafton High School Far Off Broadway presents "Hello, Dolly!" On
November 16th, 17th, and 18th. Performances will be at 7:30pm all
three nights. Tickets are available NOW by calling 352-0018! You can
also get your tickets at the door. Ticket prices are: $6 for adults and
$5 for students and senior citizens. The performances will be held at
Central Middle School, 725 Griggs Avenue. <<< Thanks a million for
caring and sharing Chris. Lets hope for a "packed house" all three
nights.
------------------------
Speaking of a packed house. Marian hopes everyone will read and
respond to her latest message. She wrote: >>>
Hi Gary, Here come's pesty asking a favor from you
again. We have rescheduled our meeting for a Teen Center in
Grafton. It will be Wednesday, Nov. 15 @ 7:00 pm at the Heritage
Village in Grafton. We hope the entire area and the Grafton
community will come and stand behind us on this project, because I
believe our town needs something like this for our youth. Come to the
meeting and voice your opinion on this project. Let's all work
together on this and it will work. Give our youth a place of their
own to "hang out", so to speak, with it being properly run. Hope to
see you there. Thanks again Gary for a great job. Marian <<<
Thank you Marian. Providing youth with a place to "spend energy"
has been a long standing, small town, problem. Providing the proper
place, with the proper guidance is much easier to draft than carry out.
I wish you and your organization the very best in your endeavor.
-------------------------
Rebecca submitted the following guess on the author of the latest
will. She wrote, >>> I spoke with Brenda R. and her best guess as to the
author is Jackie S. <<< Sorry, that's not a good answer. It might be
something only a mother would remember. Or, so it seems to me.
--------------------------
The subscription department has been busy over the weekend. Please
welcome Joy, Rosanne, Bob and Ina to the Gazette family. As always, if
anyone finds the Gazette takes more time than your willing to spend on
it. Please let me know and I will remove you name from the list. If, on
the other hand, you care to share a part of your world with us. We would
be most thankful.
==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or
so it seems to me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
