From the Editor

By Pam Libby

 

I want to start out by thanking all of you for your input!  Remember this Newsletter is published for YOU and I would still love to hear
from you about what type of “news” you would like to read.

Articles on special trips and personal stories will continue to be published.

I still would like to include articles for the following sections.  Again, this will only work if I receive your support and input:

  A section titled “Special Childhood Memories”

A suggestion for the upcoming November Newsletter will be to cover topics that will tie in with the time of year- the holiday
season ~ such as a “special” childhood Thanksgiving/Christmas story. (Just trying to give you all “food” for thought!)

  A section titled “Unum Stories and Memories”

  A section to include “Old Sayings/Phrases” (see Glen Faulhaber’s story in this Newsletter)

• Stories regarding a Significant Birthday/Anniversary, if you’d like.

These stories don’t need to be long……just a paragraph would do!  Several of you mentioned to me that you have “stories” however
you are uncomfortable writing.  As I told you, if you could give me a couple sentences, I could help out and would forward the article
along to you BEFORE printing!!

We would love any pictures that would go along with your story!

I’m looking forward to hearing your input AND receiving articles from you!
