President's
Message
My ancestors
moved to North Dakota in 1883 and homesteaded land establishing
a farm. Our house was at the end of a dirt road one mile from a
gravel road, four miles from the nearest town (population 50) and
eleven miles from the closest "city" (population 1200)
with a hospital where I was born. We had no electricity, no indoor
plumbing and no gas. December Lunch David Garfinkle presented an outstanding slide show. Thank you, David! Conde Nast Traveler
Magazine sent a representative, Mr. Mark Jolly, to our luncheon
for in depth interviews of the most widely traveled and to seek
unusual stories of our travelers. Watch for a story in one of the
upcoming editions. In Memoriam
Our club has sent a donation to San Diego Hospice, 4311 Third Ave. San Diego, CA 92103. |

Special
thanks to our Area Coordinators for a successful 2001 season. Bills
for 2002 dues were mailed out in December and a reminder, if you
have not sent your check for 2002 dues, please do it now. 
I
am delighted to serve as your new President for the next two years.
During the past, I have met most of our Southern California members
at our events. Likewise, most of you know my wife, Rae.
