On my return trip I took a brief breather at Schreiber and visited with our Comrades of Branch 109, where I was a charter member having helped form the Branch shortly after World War 2. It was sure nice to see my old Legion Buddies once again and swap a few stories. On leaving the Comrades asked that I convey their best to the members of good old 540. July and August are quiet months Legion wise, however your executivve keeps busy and meets regularly to keep things `ship shape', until the meetings with Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Routly. Mrs. D.

Thanks Cord on behalf of your Comrades; the cabinet is a work of art and blends in well with the decor of the Sea, Land and Air Lounge. And that's 30 for this week — remember., Bores can be divided into two classes: those who have their own particular subject, and those who do not need a subject.
