Yep, should know, having just lost my second bout to the flu - man is that stuff ever dynamite - got T.O.P.S. beat all hollow, lost 20 pounds in less days, now I'm back to my old fighting trim of 170 pounds, a weight I have ex- ceeded, sorry to say, for more years than I want to remember. As for fighting, well, I guess that will have to wait awhile till I get some of my spunk back. Sure nice to be back in the land of the living. Now on to the first Comments for 1973. Comrade President advises he recently received a Letter from Santa thanking Branch 540 for affording him the privilege of meeting so many children of Lucan and area.
