_ Fhc weather Wednesday, high
71, low 58, hum. 53 percent,
and by 7 a.in. Thursday .08
inches of rain had fallen.
Got a call today from a trade
magazine wanting to know if
we wanted to continue to
receive their free publication.
I said 'yes'.
"Just to verify that we did talk
to you today," she said, "could
you give me your mother's first
initial?"
'J,' I said, and hung up, bew
ildered. Free publications have
to work especially hard to prove
to advertisers that they have
leadership, but how would
these guys know my mother's
first name anyway? What else
docs that computer of theirs
know about us? Hmmm...
Well, back to the business at
hand, we have had several items
brought to us recently by folks
hoping we'd share them with
you.
Bill Bennett mailed us a clip
ping describing tax laws
regarding donations of histori
cally significant items. Con
gress is allowing donors to
deduct the fully appreciated
value of material given to his
torical societies before July 1.

G.C. Hounds Parade At Golden Games
To help celebrate National Nursing Home Week recently, the
Green Creek Hounds paraded at Harmon Field with their handlers
in colorful hunt dress for more than 150 residents and guests from
eight area nursing homes. The hounds were led by Margaret M.
Secor, MFH and Whipper-in (foreground), Jefferson "Tol"
Goodwin, Huntsman and Collen Lichty, Whipper-in (back
ground). Residents had a rare opportunity to meet the hounds 'up
close and personal.' "Foxhounds are a unique and very strong yet
gentle breed, and are oftentimes quite shy around humans," said
Ms. Secor. "We welcome occasions like this where we can make a
contribution t community events and where the community can
get to know us better. For additional information, call Margaret
Secor, 863-2753. -photo by Chevalier J. Tucker.
