To one and all, a Merry, Merry Christmas and best wishes for the
New Year.  This is the time of year when we sit back and appreciate all
the family and friends that make our lives full and bring us enjoyment.
I am among the most fortunate of men.  I am blessed with a wonderful
and loving wife, seven adoring children, the most beautiful
granddaughter in the world, a caring mother, a nurturing grandmother,
and an extended family of relatives and friends that make my life full
and complete.
      Among those friends, in spite of our intermittent philosophical
differneces, are those here who have tolerated my seemingly odd view of
the world and in doing so also contribute the the enjoyment of life.
To each and everyone, thankyou and it is my sincere hope that all have
a VERY Merry Christmas...
