From the Editor…..
 The
last issue of SHORELINES was mailed the morning of September
11. Since then I have been on an emotional roller coaster.
Some days are so filled with despair that I don’t want to get
out of bed; others find me once again trusting in God, the
Government and the American people. So it goes.
I will miss
Marion Grattan. She was a very special lady to
work with, and I welcomed her journalistic expertise.
Mike Kegley spoke at the October meeting about the
importance of registering discharge papers with the Office of
the County Clerk in your area. That way your relatives or
funeral director can get a copy when needed. (I thought
everyone knew this; I did it immediately upon discharge.)
Proof of discharge is needed for VA benefits.
Does Anthrax scare you? It has been suggested that
we reduce exposure to mail-born anthrax and circumvent the
postal system by using the Internet and e-mail. I’m especially
worried about sending Christmas cards this year.
On a happy note: Jan Roy visited on her way home
from an American Legion membership meeting in Oscoda. We spent
a lot of time (and some $$$) in the antique shops on Water
Street in Bay City. - Dolores |
Special Projects Committee
Shirley Croucher, Chairman
Save your extra 2002 calendars and bring them to Unit 32’s
December meeting! We will see that they are distributed to veterans
in the VA hospitals. Large print and colorful pictures are favorites
of the patients.
Campbell labels are still being collected for the Institute of
Logopedics. Keep saving!
Ten of the 40 lap robes crocheted by Doris Graham will be
distributed to the VA Hospital in Battle Creek.
Shirley and committee are trying to fill 15 more ditty bags. (She
will probably accept contributions at the December meeting.)
