Todays Gazette is being brought you, in part by, the Salvation Army.
Gordy Stark once told me that NO-ONE helped service folks more than the
Salvation Army.

Rats,...their at it again! The less than likable, lightfingered low
life's that lifted Goofy from Wally DeSautel's fantastic winter
wonderland display in Leistikow Park. Dog gone, bugger hech, shucks
anyway. Wally told me that's the fourth time "Goofy" has disappeared
from the display. Until now, Wally has made new ones and set them out
amongst the more than 100 other characters in the display.
This time, however, I'm afraid Goofy's spot will remain empty,...
unless he is returned. I doubt the dastardly deed was done
singlehandedly. I believe there's at least some others aware of Goofy's
demise. Wouldn't it be great if "one" of them would make Goofy's
whereabouts known?
-----------
Although the disappearance of Goofy is tragic, Wallys display continues
to get bigger and better every day. So too, does the rest of Leistikow
Parks displays. This year, as you enter the park you will notice a large
display of candles accompanied by a lovely sign indicting the display is
in recognition of Johanna (Mrs. George) Green "Gamma Green" and the 101
years she has spent here on earth.

Everyone knows, in this area, if we're not talking farming at
Granny's, we're talking hockey,... or,.. why the Vikings lost last
night. The mention of the Spoilers last State hockey championship must
have been the reason for the following note. >>>> I feel I must say,
although I'm sure you know, 1985 was not the first championship hockey
team ! I believe it was 1978. <<<< I'd be surprised if there isn't
"several" in our group that can expound on that message. And, it would
be really great, if they would.

Speaking of hockey, Marcia sent the following. >>> Hi Gary
Happy Holidays to you and Pat!
I would just like to share something with you and the rest of your
readers.
This past weekend we had a Hockey tournament here in town for the Squirt
B players. Since we hosted it we had to do all the planning for it. We
called upon local area businesses to see if they would help with
donating door prizes and other items, it was so great to call these
places and they were more then willing to help. It is sooo good to have
the support from our great town. The tournament was a great success and
I would like to thank all of them for their support.
Have a great day
Marcia Molde Seeba and the rest of the Squirt B Parents <<< Thanks a
million for caring and sharing Marcia. "Wonderful people, in close
proximity, makes a fantastic community."

We have heard about the Chili-Rama from a few folks. Nancy wrote. >>>
The chili feed at the Federated church went real well! I now know that
there are indeed 13 different types of chili. If you'd like to know how
they ALL tasted, feel free to ask Tommy (Henricksen) from The Strand. He
tried every last one! ----- <<< (It's good to have guys like Tommy
around. It makes the dishwashers job so much easier. Right Tom?)
I also received a call from John Aasand and he too was very pleased
with the event. He said he was pleased with the help they received from
so many people, and he added, from so many other denominations.
Then, on another subject, John did tell me that the rumor about him
being offered a teaching position in China is, in his own words,
"absolutely true". And, he told me, for some reason Debbie is really
encouraging him to go. (Well I'll be darned!) Anyway, the rumor that he
is selling the Extra End, is NOT true.
I can only imagine, that John, being the proprietor of a lively local
liquor livery, has had several folks "tell him where to go". I suspect,
however, going to China would be one of the more interesting.
If you should decide to go to China John, don't forget to bring your
own toilet paper.

The folks in the Drayton area will have the opportunity to attend one
of our areas finest holiday season concerts.
Vessel of Praise Advent Services Wednesday, December 6, 7:00 - St.
Edward's Parish in Drayton.
It is a fantastic musical presentation. A veritable major league
production set into a small town format.

Thanks a million Vic and Dorothy Johnson, for the nice note, and, for
requesting two Grafton Area Volunteer Firefighter Calendar draw tickets.

The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or so it
seems to me.
P.S.
If I don't hear from you, how can I know your there.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
