The Holabird elevator is scheduled for demolition. I hope it goes easier than the Zip Elevator in Sioux Falls!

There were 11 acts out of 21 contestants chosen to be in the second round of competition next Monday night. Holabird Advocate Publisher Jerry Hinkle is one of them.

I am hoping you are alright and sounds like you are. Mary keeps us updated, and I visit the blog, when I can. Glad you made the play, what ever it is called, I'm not good at remembering that name.
Your grades are A OK, and I knew you would be able to do that. It is turning cold and am staying close to home. It was in the 20's this morning. I will go get the mail after awhile and bye the church to get my Upper Room, magazine, as I forgot to pick it up Sunday after church.
Kassidee is talking about getting married, sometime in July or Aug. She asked George and I if we would be their witness, I was honored to be asked, and of coarse, we will be glad to do that. She has been traveling a lot with her students. They were in Paris, and Poland, can't remember where else.
Do take care and have a little fun!

As everyone gets more and more health conscious, we start to pay a great deal of attention to the list of ingredients they have on the labels of prepared foods. They not only tell you what's in the food, but also the proportions of each ingredient. So whatever they list first is the dominant element. I was thinking this would be a great policy to extend to people you meet. Their qualities should be listed on their forehead in descending order of prominence. "Kindness," "honesty" and "intelligence" would make a nice cluster somewhere near the top of the list. Whereas if the first two are "violence" and "intolerance," that's another way of saying "If you can read this, you're standing too close."
